Characterization of Mn-modified Pb(Mg(13)Nb(23))O(3)-PbZrO(3)-PbTiO(3) single crystals for high power broad bandwidth transducers.

ABSTRACT: The effect of MnO(2) addition on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of 0.4Pb(Mg(13)Nb(23))O(3)-0.25PbZrO(3)-0.35PbTiO(3) single crystals was investigated. Analogous to acceptor doping in "hard" Pb(Zr,Ti)O(3) based polycrystalline materials, the Mn doped crystals exhibited enhanced mechanical Q ( approximately 1050) with low dielectric loss ( approximately 0.2%), while maintaining ultrahigh electromechanical coupling k(33)>90%, inherent in domain engineered single crystals. The effect of acceptor doping was also evident in the build-up of an internal bias (E(i) approximately 1.6 kVcm), shown by a horizontal offset in the polarization-field behavior. Together with the relatively high usage temperature (T(R-T) approximately 140 degrees C), the Mn doped crystals are promising candidates for high power and broad bandwidth transducers.

Domain size engineering in tetragonal Pb(In(1∕2)Nb(1∕2))O(3)-Pb(Mg(1∕3)Nb(2∕3))O(3)-PbTiO(3) crystals.

Project description:The effect of domain size on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of [111]-oriented tetragonal Pb(In(1∕2)Nb(1∕2))O(3)-Pb(Mg(1∕3)Nb(2∕3))O(3)-PbTiO(3) crystals was investigated. The dielectric permittivity (ɛ(33 ) (T)∕ɛ(0)) and piezoelectric coefficient (d(33)) were found to be on the order of 13 800 and 1630 pC∕N, respectively, for samples with domain size of ∼500 nm, a 3-fold increase to crystals with domain size of ∼50 μm. Rayleigh analysis revealed that the extrinsic contribution to the piezoelectric response increased from ∼8% to 30% with decreasing domain size, due to the increased domain wall density and associated irreversible domain wall motion. The enhanced properties were thought to relate to the fine domain structures, however, showing a poor electric field and temperature stabilities with domain size of 500 nm. Of particular significance is that samples with domain size being on the order of 5 μm exhibit field and temperature stabilities, with yet high piezoelectric properties, make it potential for transducer applications.

Monoclinic M(B) phase and phase instability in [110] field cooled Pb(Zn(13)Nb(23))O(3)-4.5%PbTiO(3) single crystals.

Project description:We report the finding of a monoclinic M(B) phase in Pb(Zn(13)Nb(23))O(3)-4.5%PbTiO(3) single crystals. High precision x-ray diffraction investigations of [110] field cooled crystals have shown a transformation sequence of cubic(C)-->tetragonal(T)-->orthorhombic(O)-->monoclinic(M(B)), which is different from that previously reported [A.-E. Renault et al., J. Appl. Phys. 97, 044105 (2005)]. Beginning in the zero-field-cooled condition at 383 K, a rhombohedral (R)-->M(B)-->O sequence was observed with increasing field. Coexisting M(B) and O phases were then found upon removal of field, which fully transformed to M(B) on cooling to room temperature.

Giant reversible anisotropy changes at room temperature in a (La,Sr)MnO3/Pb(Mg,Nb,Ti)O3 magneto-electric heterostructure.

Project description:In a model artificial multiferroic system consisting of a (011)-oriented ferroelectric Pb(Mg,Nb,Ti)O3 substrate intimately coupled to an epitaxial ferromagnetic (La,Sr)MnO3 film, electric field pulse sequences of less than 6 kV/cm induce large, reversible, and bistable remanent strains. The magnetic anisotropy symmetry reversibly switches from a highly anisotropic two-fold state to a more isotropic one, with concomitant changes in resistivity. Anisotropy changes at the scale of a single ferromagnetic domain were measured using X-ray microscopy, with electric-field dependent magnetic domain reversal showing that the energy barrier for magnetization reversal is drastically lowered. Free energy calculations confirm this barrier lowering by up to 70% due to the anisotropic strain changes generated by the substrate. Thus, we demonstrate that an electric field pulse can be used to 'set' and 'reset' the magnetic anisotropy orientation and resistive state in the film, as well as to lower the magnetization reversal barrier, showing a promising route towards electric-field manipulation of multifunctional nanostructures at room temperature.

Design of three-shell icosahedral matryoshka clusters A@B₁₂@A2₂₀ (A = Sn, Pb; B = Mg, Zn, Cd, Mn).

Project description:We propose a series of icosahedral matryoshka clusters of A@B12@A20 (A = Sn, Pb; B = Mg, Zn, Cd), which possess large HOMO-LUMO gaps (1.29 to 1.54 eV) and low formation energies (0.06 to 0.21 eV/atom). A global minimum search using a genetic algorithm and density functional theory calculations confirms that such onion-like three-shell structures are the ground states for these A21B12 binary clusters. All of these icosahedral matryoshka clusters, including two previously found ones, i.e., [As@Ni12@As20](3-) and [Sn@Cu12@Sn20](12-), follow the 108-electron rule, which originates from the high Ih symmetry and consequently the splitting of superatom orbitals of high angular momentum. More interestingly, two magnetic matryoshka clusters, i.e., Sn@Mn12@Sn20 and Pb@Mn12@Pb20, are designed, which combine a large magnetic moment of 28 µB, a moderate HOMO-LUMO gap, and weak inter-cluster interaction energy, making them ideal building blocks in novel magnetic materials and devices.

Complete set of elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric constants of [011]C poled rhombohedral Pb(In0.5Nb0.5)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3:Mn single crystals.

Project description:Mn modified rhombohedral Pb(In0.5Nb0.5)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PIN-PMN-PT:Mn) single crystals poled along [011]C crystallographic direction exhibit a "2R" engineered domain configuration, with macroscopic mm2 symmetry. The complete sets of material constants were determined using combined resonance and ultrasonic methods, and compared to [001]C poled PIN-PMN-PT:Mn crystals. The thickness shear piezoelectric coefficient d15 and electromechanical coupling factor k15 were found to be on the order of ∼3000 pC/N and 0.92, respectively, with longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient d33 and coupling factor k33 being on the order of ∼1050 pC/N and 0.90. Of particular importance is that PIN-PMN-PT:Mn single crystals exhibited high mechanical quality factor Q33 ∼ 1000, comparable to "hard" PZT8 ceramics, which can also be confirmed by the low extrinsic contribution, being ≤2% from the Rayleigh analysis.

The effect of mustard gas on salivary trace metals (Zn, Mn, Cu, Mg, Mo, Sr, Cd, Ca, Pb, Rb).

Project description:We have determined and compared trace metals concentration in saliva taken from chemical warfare injures who were under the exposure of mustard gas and healthy subjects by means of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) for the first time. The influence of preliminary operations on the accuracy of ICP-OES analysis, blood contamination, the number of restored teeth in the mouth, salivary flow rate, and daily variations in trace metals concentration in saliva were also considered. Unstimulated saliva was collected at 10:00-11:00 a.m. from 45 subjects in three equal groups. The first group was composed of 15 healthy subjects (group 1); the second group consisted of 15 subjects who, upon chemical warfare injuries, did not use Salbutamol spray, which they would have normally used on a regular basis (group 2); and the third group contained the same number of patients as the second group, but they had taken their regular medicine (Salbutamol spray; group 3). Our results showed that the concentration of Cu in saliva was significantly increased in the chemical warfare injures compared to healthy subjects, as follows: healthy subjects 15.3± 5.45 (p.p.b.), patients (group 2) 45.77±13.65, and patients (Salbutamol spray; group 3) 29 ±8.51 (P <0.02). In contrast, zinc was significantly decreased in the patients, as follows: healthy subjects 37 ± 9.03 (p.p.b.), patients (group 2) 12.2 ± 3.56, and patients (Salbutamol spray; group 3) 20.6 ±10.01 (P < 0.01). It is important to note that direct dilution of saliva samples with ultrapure nitric acid showed the optimum ICP-OES outputs.

Synthetic approach of ternary magnesium niobate (Mg-Nb-O) compounds.

Project description:Magnesium based niobium oxides (Mg-Nb-O) were prepared by solid-state reactions owing to understand the function of transition metal oxides as promoters/catalysts for practical application. Magnesium niobate (Mg3Nb6O11) was synthesized for the first time in nearly pure form reported in this context. MgNb2O6 and Mg4Nb2O9 were prepared in oxidizing conditions; on the contrary, Mg3Nb6O11 preferred reducing environment. Stoichiometric mixtures of the precursor materials MgO, Nb2O5 and/or metallic Nb were annealed for the syntheses which revealed the effect of temperature on phase formation, reaction kinetics and heat of reaction. The products were examined by ex-situ, in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Crystallographic parameters of various binary and ternary compounds (Mg/Nb/O) formed in different calcination conditions, were extracted by Rietveld method. In-situ experiment results in single step reaction for the MgNb2O6 synthesis and the heat of formation of the solid-state reaction obtained to be minimum (93 kJ/mol). In contrast, the formation of Mg4Nb2O9 and Mg3Nb6O11 compounds towards pure phases rather complicated due to multistep reactions and corresponding heat of formation were estimated to be 140 and 190 kJ/mol. Experimental results have been discussed based on kinetic and thermodynamic constrains.

Electromechanical properties and anisotropy of single- and multi-domain 0.72Pb(Mg(1∕3)Nb(2∕3))O(3)-0.28PbTiO(3) single crystals.

Project description:Complete sets of elastic, piezoelectric, and dielectric constants of 0.72Pb(Mg(1∕3)Nb(2∕3))O(3)-0.28PbTiO(3) single crystal poled along [111](c) (single domain) as well as non-polar axes [001](c) and [011](c) (multidomain) have been measured under natural conditions. These data allowed us to evaluate accurately the extrinsic contributions to the superior piezoelectric properties. Very large extrinsic contributions to the unusual anisotropies in multidomain crystals are confirmed. We found that the instability of domain structures is the origin of the low mechanical quality factor Q for the multidomain relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystals. Our results can provide useful guidance in future design of domain engineered materials.

Electric field dependence of nonlinearity parameters and third order elastic constants of 0.70Pb(Mg(13)Nb(23))O(3)-0.30PbTiO(3) single crystal.

Project description:Through second harmonic measurements, the ultrasonic nonlinearity parameters of [001](c) and [111](c) polarized 0.70Pb(Mg(13)Nb(23))O(3)-0.30PbTiO(3)(PMN-0.3PT) single crystals have been measured as a function of bias electric field. It was found that the nonlinearity parameter increases almost linearly with field at low field but shows a drastic increase near the coercive field. The [111](c) polarized single domain crystal has much smaller nonlinearity parameter than that of the [001](c) polarized multidomain crystal. Based on effective symmetries of these crystals, we were able to derive the field dependence of several third order elastic constants, which are important parameters for high field applications.

Entropy-Induced Self-Assembly of Colloidal Crystals with High Reflectivity and Narrow Reflection Bandwidth.

Project description:Cracks and defects, which could result in lower reflectivity and larger full width at half maximum (FWHM), are the major obstacles for obtaining highly ordered structures of colloidal crystals (CCs). The high-quality CCs with high reflectivity (more than 90%) and 9.2 nm narrow FWHM have been successfully fabricated using a fixed proportion of a soft matter system composed of silica particles (SPs), polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), and ethanol. The influences of refractivity difference, volume fractions, and particle dimension on FWHM were illuminated. Firstly, we clarified the influences of the planar interface and the bending interface on the self-assembly. The CCs had been successfully fabricated on the planar interface and presented unfavorable results on the bending interface. Secondly, a hard sphere system consisting of SPs, PEGDA, and ethanol was established, and the entropy-driven phase transition mechanism of a polydisperse system was expounded. The FWHM and reflectivity of CCs showed an increasing trend with increasing temperature. Consequently, high-quality CCs were obtained by adjusting temperatures (ordered structure formed at 90 °C and solidified at 0 °C) based on the surface phase rule of the system. We acquired a profound understanding of the principle and process of self-assembly, which is significant for preparation and application of CCs such as optical filters.
