While PT crystals annealed in air at 700degC showed a leakage current density of the order of 10-5 A/cm2 , annealing under a high oxygen partial pressure of 35 MPa at 700degC increased the leakage current density to 10-4 A/cm2 . This increase in leakage current by the oxidation treatment provides direct evidence that electron hole plays a dominant carrier for the leakage current property in the PT system. The conductivity at 800degC of the PT crystals proportionally increased with an increase in oxygen partial pressure, and electron hole is revealed to be a detrimental carrier even at 800degC. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that a larger weight loss due to PbO vaporization was observed under a higher oxygen partial pressure at high temperatures above 1000degC. The enhanced vacancy formation of Pb under a higher oxygen partial pressure demonstrates that the surface reaction between Pb atoms and O atoms adsorbed onto the PT surface, which leads to PbO (g), is the limiting factor for the vacancy formation in the PT system. It is suggested that Pb vacancies act as an electron acceptor for generating electron holes, leading to a higher leakage current. It is found that the mechanism of the leakage curren for BFO cyrstals is almost the same as that for PT crystals.","PeriodicalId":321007,"journal":{"name":"2007 Sixteenth IEEE International Symposium on the Applications of Ferroelectrics","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114203774","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}

Normally, for the conventional writing, we use two positive or negative square pulses to induce the positive (Pr<sup>+</sup>) or the negative (Pr<sup>-</sup>) remnant polarizations, respectively. For the conventional reading, unipolar square pulses were applied. Although the difference in output voltages between Pr<sup>+</sup> and Pr<sup>-</sup> is large, the nondestructive readout characteristic for the Pr<sup>-</sup> is poor because the Pr<sup>-</sup> memory state is quickly degraded after each reading due to non-reswitched or nonreturned domains. Therefore, for the new writing, we proposed a new memory state, Pr<sub>0</sub>, instead of Pr<sup>-</sup>. The Pr<sup>0</sup> was induced by a combined pulse with a positive part (V<sub>w</sub> <sup>+</sup>) and a negative part (V<sub>w</sub> <sup>-</sup>). For the new reading, a negative voltage (V<sub>R</sub> <sup>-</sup>) was applied, following a positive voltage (V<sub>R</sub> <sup>+</sup>) to recover the memory state to the initial one.

This paper provides a series measurement results of ultrasonic attenuation of kaolin under a wide range of concentrations (0 ~ 300,000 ppm) and various temperatures (5 ~ 25degC). Besides, the ultrasonic attenuation of silt of Shihmen reservoir in Taiwan has been measured. The mean radii for the silt ranged from 4 to 8 mum.

We have extensively studied PZT thin films and their micro-processing. However, there are several problems of degradation by crystal defects at grain boundaries in thin films and surface damage by microfabrication. Self-assembled nanocrystals are useful for solving these problems. However, position control in nanocrystal growth is very difficult. Thus, atomically flat substrates and RF magnetron sputtering together are used for better position control. RF magnetron sputtering stimulates nucleation of crystals because the sputtered particles impinge on substrates with high energy. We grew PZT nanocrystals on alpha-Al2O3 (001) single crystalline substrate surfaces.
