Utilizing Highly Crystalline Pyroelectric Material as Functional Gate Dielectric in Organic Thin-Film Transistors

ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 8 2009
Nguyen Thanh Tien
Highly crystalline P(VDF-TrFE) materials have a large remnant polarization that causes the ID,VD curves to have no current saturation in the region where they normally would. This high crystallinity also results in a positive pyroelectricity, which is different from the conventional low response and nonlinear negative pyroelectricity. [source]


Effects of Rare-Earth Dopants on the Ferroelectric and Pyroelectric Properties of Strontium Barium Niobate Ceramics

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY, Issue 6 2009

Effects of various rare-earth (RE) dopants (Y3+, La3+, Ce3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, Tm3+, Dy3+, Er3+, and Yb3+) on the dielectric, ferroelectric, and pyroelectric properties of Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 (SBN50) ceramics were investigated. In the present studies, the doping concentrations of all the RE dopants were fixed at 1 mol%. Their potential usefulness in pyroelectric applications was discussed based on their measured pyroelectric detectivity figure of merit (FOM). On the basis of our studies, for RE dopants with atomic numbers smaller than Nd, their dielectric constants were greatly increased, while for RE dopants with atomic numbers larger than Sm, their dielectric constants as well as dielectric losses became smaller. Among various dopants, Eu-doped SBN showed the most improved ferroelectric properties. Its remnant polarization (Pr) was increased to 4.86 ,C/cm2 as compared with 3.23 ,C/cm2 obtained in undoped SBN50. On the other hand, Gd-doped SBN exhibited the largest pyroelectric coefficient of 168 ,C/m2 K, which was over three times of that of the undoped sample (49 ,C/m2 K). The work shows that Gd-doped SBN exhibits the greatest potential for pyro-applications because it bears the largest FOM of 0.45 × 10,5 Pa,0.5 [Correction: After online publication on 11/05/2008, an error was found in this article. The original value, 1.35×10,5 Pa,0.5, was incorrect. The data has been replaced with the correct value.]. [source]

Lift-Off PMN,PT Thick Film for High-Frequency Ultrasonic Biomicroscopy

Benpeng Zhu
Piezoelectric 0.65Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3,0.35PbTiO3 (PMN,35PT) thick film with a thickness of approximately 12 ,m has been deposited on the platinum-buffered Si substrate using a sol,gel composite method. The separation of the film from the substrate was achieved using a wet chemical method. The lifted-off PMN,35PT thick film exhibited good dielectric and ferroelectric properties. At 1 kHz, the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss were 3326 and 0.037, respectively, while the remnant polarization was 30.0 ,C/cm2. A high-frequency single-element acoustic transducer fabricated with this film showed a bandwidth at ,6 dB of 63.6% at 110 MHz. [source]


Structural and Electric Properties of Sol,Gel-Derived Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 Multilayers

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 4 2007
X. K. Hong
Crack-free Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 (BST) and Mn-doped Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 (BSTM) multilayers with thickness over 2 ,m have been prepared by chemical solution deposition based on one single precursor. Both multilayers exhibit good performance as Bragg reflectors. Mn doping tends to suppress the leakage current in BST multilayers effectively by smoothing the layers and the reduction of the charge carries. The Mn-doped BST multilayer displays an excellent ferroelectric property, with an average remnant polarization (Pr+,Pr,)/2 of 12.69 ,C/cm2 and an average coercive field (E+,E,)/2 of about 72.95 kV/cm under an applied field of 440 kV/cm.

Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Properties of Na1,xBaxNb1,xTixO3 Ceramics

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 9 2006
J. T. Zeng
Piezoelectric ceramics Na1,xBaxNb1,xTixO3 with low BaTiO3 concentrations x have been prepared by the solid-state reaction method, and their ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties have been studied. The ceramics are classic ferroelectrics when x,0.10, and the ferroelectric,paraelectric phase transition becomes diffusive when x,0.15. A low doping level of BaTiO3 changes the NaNbO3 ceramics from antiferroelectric to ferroelectric. With the increase in BaTiO3 doping level, the Curie temperature of ceramics decreases linearly and the remnant polarization and coercive field also decrease, while their dielectric constant increases. Na0.9Ba0.1Nb0.9Ti0.1O3 ceramics show the largest piezoelectric constant d33 (147 pC/N) and good sinterability, suggesting that it is a good candidate for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. [source]
