We studied theoretically the hysteresis behavior of ferroelectric thin films. The anomalous ferroelectric response is discussed by use of a bilayer model. Electrical conductivities of the films have been taken into account. To model the effects of the inhomogeneity of polarization and permittivity across the interface, the film is assumed to possess a secondary dielectric/ferroelectric phase sa...

We study dynamical hysteresis in a simple class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, namely first-order equations subject to sinusoidal forcing. The assumed nonlinearities are such that the area of the hysteresis loop vanishes as the forcing frequency tends to zero; in other words, there is no static hysteresis. Using regular and singular perturbation techniques, we derive the first te...

We have developed a new technique of using a torque rnagnetomet.er to obtain M·H hysteresis loop of a uniaxial magnetic materiaL The hysteresis curve was obtained from the loop of the torque r measured as a function of an applied field H, when the direction of the applied field q, was 9" from the uniaxial orientation. This technique was applied to obtain the hysteresis curves of several Co/Pd m...

In this paper, how structure-sensitive parameters derived from the hysteresis loop, like coercive field, remanent induction, and hysteresis losses, can be used to characterise recovery and recrystallization in cold rolled Ti-Nb stabilised interstitial free ultra low carbon steel is shown. The effect on hysteresis measurements of isothermal annealing treatments applied to industrially cold rolle...

The contribution of this paper is a framework for relating butterfly-shaped hysteresis maps to simple (single-loop) hysteresis maps, which are typically easier to model and more amenable to control design. In particular, a unimodal mapping is used to transform simple loops to butterfly loops. For the practically important class of piecewise monotone hysteresis maps, we provide conditions for pr...

Ni-doped TaSi2 nanowires were synthesized by annealing NiSi2 film as the mediated layer in a Ta reductive ambient at 950 ◦C for 16 h. The hysteresis loop has a hard magnetization axis and high remanence with a coercive force of 120 Oe when the applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the substrate (parallel to the nanowires) and the hysteresis loop has an easy magnetization axis and low reman...

This paper presents a new sensor arrangement and feedback controller for hysteresis, creep and vibration in piezoelectric actuators. A force and strain sensor is combined to provide both extremely low noise and high stability. The proposed technique is demonstrated on a nanopositioning platform with a range of 10 μm and a resonance frequency of 2.4 kHz. In closed-loop, the controller damps the ...

We performed a detailed study of the training effect in exchange biased CoO/Co bilayers. High-resolution measurements of the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) display an asymmetry in the first magnetization reversal process and training in the subsequent reversal processes. Surprisingly, the AMR measurements as well as magnetization measurements reveal that it is possible to partially reinduc...

The hysteresis nonlinearity of magnetically controlled shape memory alloy actuator is an obstacle in the achievement of high positioning accuracy. To eliminate the influence of hysteresis nonlinearity, a PID hybrid control method which uses the inverse Prandtl-Ishlinskii model as a feedforward controller is proposed in this paper. The PID parameters are searched by particle swarm optimization w...
