    Abstract:

    Abstract The structural, magnetic and optical properties of (ZnO)1−x(MnO2)x (with x = 0.03 and 0.05) thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were studied. The pellets used as target, sintered at different temperatures ranging from 500 °C to 900 °C, were prepared by conventional solid state method using ZnO and MnO2 powders. The observation of non-monotonic shift in peak position of most preferred (1 0 1) ZnO Diffraction Plane in XRD spectra of pellets confirmed the substitution of Mn ions in ZnO lattice of the sintered targets. The as-deposited thin film samples are found to be polycrystalline with the preferred orientation mostly along (1 1 0) Diffraction Plane. The UV–vis spectroscopy of the thin films revealed that the energy band gap exhibit blue shift with increasing Mn content which could be attributed to Burstein–Moss shift caused by Mn doping of the ZnO. The deposited thin films exhibit room temperature ferromagnetism having effective magnetic moment per Mn atom in the range of 0.9–1.4μB for both compositions.

  • quantitative domain engineering for realizing d36 piezoelectric coefficient in tetragonal ceramics

    Abstract:

    Abstract Piezoelectric devices based on d36 mode are remarkably stable that depolarization rarely occurs in d36 face shear mode, because d36 mode is completely different from d15 thickness shear mode, where the applied electric field is perpendicular to poling direction and depolarization is ineluctable due to 90° dipole rotation. However, piezoelectric ceramics conventionally possess three piezoelectric coefficients (i.e., d33, d31, and d15), while d36 only exists in single crystals of specific point groups and cut directions. In this work, we propose a method to realize d36 piezoelectric coefficient in tetragonal piezoelectric ceramics by mechanical and electric domain engineering. This method is successfully applied in bismuth scandium-lead titanate (abbreviated as BS-PT) high-temperature piezoelectric ceramics with a resultant d36 up to 160 pC/N, which broadens the application of BS-PT ceramics, such as face shear actuator, energy harvester, transducer, etc. We find that domain engineering by transversal electric poling is preferred compared with the transversal mechanical poling, due to the simpler process, higher reliability, and higher resultant d36 piezoelectric coefficient. By combining the Diffraction-Plane-Transformation (DPT) model with the domain engineering via transversal electric poling, we demonstrate a quantitative domain engineering method for the first time, which could be used for optimizing the piezoelectric properties by precise design of the domain structures in piezoelectric materials.

  • A Diffraction-Plane-transformation model for quantitatively evaluating 90° domain evolution in tetragonal BS-PT piezoelectric ceramic
    Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2018
    Co-Authors: Xiangyu Gao, Jikun Yang, Shuxiang Dong
    Abstract:

    Abstract The domain structure of 0.367 BiScO 3 - 0.633 PbTiO 3 piezoelectric ceramic is investigated from the view of different electrical poling. The X-ray-Diffraction (XRD) approach is used to acquire relative intensity ratio of domain reflections, thus the domain switching fraction or domain texture that results from electrical poling is directly observed. Based on the XRD profiles, a Diffraction-Plane-transformation (DPT) model that can provide a visualized insight into domain switching in tetragonal perovskite phase is proposed. The intensity variation of Diffraction reflections in XRD pattern is comprehensively explained by DPT model, meanwhile an alternative method is also proposed to estimate the domain switching fraction in comparison with previously reported method. The experimental results show that the proposed DPT model is a simple, rational and effective method, which is also of edificatory significance to other tetragonal perovskite piezoelectric ceramic.
