The uniformity and homogeneity of the prepared films were controlled by varying the power of the source, the target-substrate distance and the pressure of the plasma gas which is argon. In order to test the Preisach Model, we carried outmeasurements according to two directions: parallel and perpendicular to the substrate plane using a Vibrating SampleMagnetometer at room temperature. Good agreement has been obtained by comparing the experimental hysteresis loops to theones determined using Preisach model. We conclude that this model is powerful in predicting the magnetic properties ofmultilayer systems. # Cr/NiO/Ni #MAGNETRON_SPUTTERING #PREISACH MODEL #MAGNETIC_HYSTERESIS","PeriodicalId":19388,"journal":{"name":"OAJ Materials and Devices","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84135060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, to develop environment friendly materials, lead-free ceramics derived from BaTiO3 were found to be interesting owing to their attractive ferroelectric performances. Moreover, the ferroelectric materials present interesting characteristics suitable for photoelectrochemical applications. In this perspective, ferroelectric and photoelectrochemical properties of Ba0.785Bi0.127Y0.017TiO3 (BBiYT), Ba0.975Eu0.017(Ti0.75Zr0.25)O3 (BETZ) and Ba(Ti0.96Mg0.013Nb0.026)O3 (BTMN) compositions are presented and discussed. The relative permittivity and losses are determined under dry helium as a function of both temperature(77-450 K) and frequency (102-2.105 Hz). BTMN compositions are characterized by a normal ferroelectric behaviour, while BBiYT and BETZ present relaxor ferroelectric properties. All these compounds present photoelectrochemical properties with different applications: eosin oxidation under solar light (BTMN), chromate reduction (BETZ) after 6 h of exposition to sunlight and H2 production upon visible light (BBiYT).","PeriodicalId":19388,"journal":{"name":"OAJ Materials and Devices","volume":"32 5S 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81024314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dependence of their structural properties as a function of the deposition parameters was studied. It has been found that the out of plane orientation of PKN film depends on the oxygen pressure used during the growth. Indeed, PKN thin film is oriented [001] for low pressure and is oriented [530] for high pressure.
