چکیده

To check on the nature of the weak magnetic order in polycrystalline magnetoelectric Pb Fe1/2Nb1/2 O3 the X-band, Q-band, and far infrared electron paramagnetic resonance EPR spectra have been measured between 4 and 600 K and compared with magnetic susceptibility and magnetization data. The asymmetric line shapes can be simulated at higher temperature by thermally fluctuating superparamagnetic nanoclusters. The pronounced temperature dependence of the position of the spectra demonstrates the presence of an internal magnetic field which is small but nonzero even at room temperature, i.e., far above the antiferromagnetic transition. The electronic spin-spin exchange has been found to be in the terahertz range. The magnetization data reveal a weak ferromagnetism even above 300 K and a break in the temperature dependence of susceptibility at the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Influence of Cation Order on the Dielectric Properties of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-Pb(Sc1/2Nb1/2)O3 (PMN-PSN) Relaxor Ferroelectrics

The effect of the B-site cation chemistry and ordering on the dielectric properties of solid solutions in the (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-Pb(Sc1/2Nb1/2)O3 (PMN-PSN) perovskite system was examined in samples with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9. Thermal annealing treatments were effective in inducing long-range B-site order in the samples within this compositional range. The well-ordered, large chemical domain ceramics...

Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3–Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 Piezoelectric Single-Crystal Rectangular Beams: Mode-Coupling Effect and Its Application to Ultrasonic Array Transducers

Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3–Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 (PIN–PMN–PT) piezoelectric single-crystal rectangular beams with the PIN:PMN:PT ratio of 0.33:0.35:0.32 are prepared, and their mode-coupling effect is investigated both theoretically and experimentally for ultrasonic array transducer applications. The PIN–PMN–PT rectangular beams become a tall-narrow beam and a short-wide plate, and so exhibiting an unc...

Enhanced Magnetoelectric Effect in Permendur/Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 Laminated Magnetostrictive/Piezoelectric Composite

In this work, after investigating three typical magneto-electric (ME) composites, Permendur/Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3(PZT), Metglas/PZT, and Tefenol-D/PZT, with the same dimensions and different saturation magnetostriction and magnetic permeability, the most excellent ME performance is observed in the Permendur/PZT laminates, which agrees well with the predicted results from the figure of merit. The l...
