Piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of ferroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett polymer films

Welcome Session 1 Relaxor Structure and Dynamics Chair –

The effect of electron irradiation on the ferroelectric properties ofLangmuir-Blodgett films of the copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) isinvestigated using 1.26 MeV electrons with dosages from 16 to 110 Mrad. Films wereirradiated in the ferroelectric state to investigate the effect of defect introduction inultrathin films. Electron irradiation is known to ...

Oriented polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) films by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition: a synchrotron X-ray diffraction study.

Langmuir-Blodgett films of polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene - P(VDF-TrFE)-copolymers possess substantially improved electrocaloric and pyroelectric properties, when compared with conventionally spin-cast films. In order to rationalize this, we prepared single-layered films of P(VDF-TrFE) (70 : 30) using both deposition techniques. Grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS),...

Ferroelectric nanomesa formation from polymer Langmuir-Blodgett films

Nanoscale polarization manipulation and imaging of ferroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett polymer films

Controlling Piezoelectric Responses in Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 Films through Deposition Conditions and Nanosheet Buffer Layers on Glass

Nanosheet Ca2Nb3O10 (CNOns) layers were deposited on ultralow expansion glass substrates by the Langmuir-Blodgett method to obtain preferential (001)-oriented growth of Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) thin films using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to enhance the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the films. The PLD deposition temperature and repetition frequency used for the deposition of t...
