Visualization of Polarization Domains in Barium Titanate

چکیده
We present a combination of techniques from molecular, flow, and scalar data visualization to reveal the characteristics and processes in the data of this year’s IEEE scientific visualization contest. Among the challenges we had to address were the strong thermal vibration of the molecular data as well as the fact that the simulated material did not behave as we would have expected according to theory from textbooks. We present results using tailored visualizations within our interactive and highly flexible visualization framework and back them up by domain expert knowledge.

Visual Analysis of Polarization Domains in Barium Titanate during Phase Transitions
In recent years, the characteristics of ferroelectric barium titanate (BaTiO3) have been studied extensively in materials science. Barium titanate has been widely used for building transducers, capacitors and, as of late, for memory devices. In this context, a precise understanding of the formation of polarization domains during phase transitions within the material is especially important. The...
متن کاملVisualizing Polarization Domains in Barium Titanate
The 2012 IEEE Visualization Contest’s topic was the detection of phase transitions in ferroelectric materials—in particular, barium titanate (BaTiO3). (For more on the contest, see the sidebar.) Ferroelectric materials’ electric properties make them suitable for a variety of applications. One major application is high-permittivity capacitors. Several ferroelectric materials are promising altern...
متن کاملPhotochemical growth of silver nanoparticles on c(-) and c(+) domains on lead zirconate titanate thin films.
The photochemical growth of silver nanoparticles on the negative domains of lead zirconate titanate thin films is reported. A sample of highly [100] orientated lead zirconate titanate, with a ratio of 30:70, that was 65-70 nm thick grown on Pt-coated MgO was poled by use of piezoresponse force microscopy to produce defined regions of surface positive and negative polarization. A comparison betw...
متن کاملLarge Flexoelectric Anisotropy in Paraelectric Barium Titanate.
The bending-induced polarization of barium titanate single crystals has been measured with an aim to elucidate the origin of the large difference between theoretically predicted and experimentally measured flexoelectricity in this material. The results indicate that part of the difference is due to polar regions (short-range order) that exist above T(C) and up to T*≈200-225 °C. Above T*, howeve...
