Coherent coupling in ferroelectric superlattices

Description: The phase transition and dielectric behavior of ferroelectric multilayers have been discussed. The coherent interaction between ultra-thin layers can be significantly strong, resulting in a broad diffuse phase transition. The thicknesses of layers and their spatial distributions hold the keys of enhancing dielectric properties in a broad temperature range.

The Monoclinic Phase in PZT: New Light on Morphotropic Phase Boundaries

Description: A summary of the work recently carried out on the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) of PZT is presented. By means of x-ray powder diffraction on ceramic samples of excellent quality, the MPB has been successfully characterized by changing temperature in a series of closely spaced compositions. As a result, an unexpected monoclinic phase has been found to exist in between the well-known tetragonal and rhombohedral PZT phases. A detailed structural analysis, together with the investigation of the… more
