Kinami, Masahiro Takahashi, S. Ito","doi":"10.14723/TMRSJ.43.109","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14723/TMRSJ.43.109","url":null,"abstract":"140190C. As can be seen, the leakage current density for all samples is less than 110-5 A/cm2 under an applied field of up to 150 kV/cm, indicating excellent electrical insulation properties. Furthermore, the point at which electrical breakdown occurs shifts to lower electric field as the reaction temperature decreases from 140 to 160°C. The samples produced at 180 and 190°C exhibited strong electrical insulation properties even under a high applied field of up to 300 kV/cm. Figure 7 shows room-temperature P–E hysteresis loops for a sample with a CFO layer synthesized at 180C, and a sample with no CFO layer. Both samples exhibit good hysteresis loop shapes with excellent symmetry. The values of 2Pr (6365 C/cm2) and the coercive field (2Ec: 443445 kV/cm) are the same for both samples within the experimental error. This demonstrates that the nonaqueous sol-gel process is an effective method for introducing fine ferromagnetic particles into the nanospaces between the ferroelectric plates without degrading their electrical properties. The dependence of the room-temperature 2Pr and 2Ec values on the CFO synthesis temperature is shown in Fig. 7(c). 2Pr and 2Ec are seen to be almost constant at 5867 C/cm2 and 421462 kV/cm, respectively, regardless of the reaction temperature. In particular, the 2Pr values are comparable to that for Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, which is currently used in ferroelectric non-volatile memory applications, indicating that the performance level is practical. It can therefore be concluded that the optimal reaction temperature for depositing fine CFO particles on BNEuT/Nb:TiO2 substrates by the non-aqueous sol-gel process is 180°C, from the viewpoints of the structural, magnetization magnetic field, ferroelectric, and leakage current characteristics. 4. CONCLUSION Ferromagnetic CFO thin films were synthesized on (Bi3.25Nd0.65Eu0.10)Ti3O12/Nb:TiO2 substrates at reaction temperatures of 140190C using a non-aqueous sol-gel process. The magnetic properties of the films were measured, and the sample synthesized at 180C was found to exhibit the highest residual magnetization and coercivity of 1.5 emu/g and 134 Oe, respectively. The ferroelectric properties of all samples were similar, with a large remanent polarization of 5867 C/cm2 and a coercive field of 421462 kV/cm, regardless of the reaction temperature. Based on its magnetic and ferroelectric properties, it can be concluded that the sample synthesized at 180C has potential as a practical multiferroic material.","PeriodicalId":23220,"journal":{"name":"Transactions-Materials Research Society of Japan","volume":"19 1","pages":"109-112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90873085","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 Raman spectra do not change significantly with an increase in temperature, despite the P21 Cmcm transition. The present result is described in terms of the parameter related to temperature variation at constant pressure, defined in a similar way to the Gruneisen parameter. Raman bands located above 220 cm show smaller values of the parameter than lower frequency modes, suggesting that these higher frequency modes are assigned to TaO6 internal modes. Due to the strong Ta—O chemical bonds, the dipole moments in the TaO6 octahedra and the ferroelectric polarization in the whole crystal lattice can be induced by the Ba substitution without large deviation of the Ta—O—Ta bond angles from 180, which enhances the photocatalytic performance.","PeriodicalId":23220,"journal":{"name":"Transactions-Materials Research Society of Japan","volume":"30 1","pages":"7-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76894766","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 engine output increases almost linearly as the heating water temperature (TH) rises. On the other hand, the engine output shows a gradual decrease as the temperature of SMA element during cooling (TSMA) rises to 321.4 K and then an abrupt decrease when the TSMA = 322.7 K. Thermal cycling tests under constrained strain conditions for the SMA element were carried out to investigate the effect of heating/cooling temperatures to generation stress () and reaction velocity (VR) of the SMA element. In result, increases gradually with the increase of TH. Besides, VR increases almost linearly as TH increases. This result suggests that the increase of engine output as TH increases is mainly due to the increase of the VR. Meanwhile, VR increases gradually with the increase of TSMA. Besides, increases as TSMA rise up to 318 K, above which it decreases rapidly. From these results, it may be concluded that the contributing factor to the engine output is the variation of and VR with the variation of TSMA.","PeriodicalId":23220,"journal":{"name":"Transactions-Materials Research Society of Japan","volume":"90 1","pages":"81-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84574903","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}
