The measurements of SbSCl x I 1-x(x = 0.2) temperature dependent capacitance were carried out. The temperature of ferroelectric phase transition TC ≈340 K was measured experimentally. TC of SbSCl x I 1-x was calculated theoretically in anharmonic and harmonic approximations. TC was calculated in anharmonic approximation using temperature dependence of mean potential energy of Sb atoms as a function of the soft B1u symmetry normal coordinate along c(z)-axis. Moreover, TC was calculated in harmonic approximation using temperature dependence of vibrational thermodynamic functions (Helmholc free energy). TC dependence from unit cell parameters a, b and from mixture composition x was carried out.

Ba(Ti1−x−y SnxGey )O3 (BTSG-x-y; x = 0, 0.05; y = 0–0.05) powders were synthesized by a sol-gel (SG) method and for comparative purposes also by a mixed-oxide (MO) method. In this system, BaGeO3 functions as sintering additive. Due to smaller particle sizes of the SG powders a higher sintering activity was found, which resulted in reduced grain growth and in a more homogenous grain size distribution for the corresponding ceramics. The dependence on the paraelectric ⇆ ferroelectric phase transition, i.e. the phase transition temperature, thewidth of the transition region and completeness were examined by dielectric measurements,DTA as well as by SEM, EDX and XRD investigations with respect to the BaGeO3 content, synthesis method and sintering temperature. The phase transition temperatures of the SG ceramics are remarkably higher than those of the MO ceramics with the same nominal compositions. The reason is a lower tin concentration within the grains of SG ceramics as confirmed by EDX and XRD investigations. The presence of BaGeO3 in barium titanate–stannate system on the basis of a SG method caused an improved incorporation of tin in theBaTiO3 lattice.

A detailed study of the effect of temperature and pressure on heat capacity, entropy and hysteresis phenomena near the ferroelectric phase transition in ammonium sulfate (AS) was performed. An analysis of experimental results within the framework of the phenomenological theory showed that taking into account the temperature-dependent part of the anomalous entropy leads to a significant increase in the barocaloric effect (BCE). The maximum values of extensive and intensive BCE near the tricritical point are outstanding: Δ S B C E m a x ≈ 85 J/kgK, Δ T A D m a x ≈ 12 K and can be achieved at low pressure ∼0.5 GPa.

The paper discusses the features of the effect of modification with lithium carbonate on the dielectric dispersion of lead ferroniobate ceramics. The modifier has been previously shown to change the ways of the recrystallization sintering and therefore reduce the sintering temperature of the ceramics, increase their average grain size, and improve their dielectric and piezoelectric properties. In this study, the emphasis is placed on the analysis of the diffusion effects of the ferroelectric phase transition upon such modification considered from the standpoint of the chemical specifics of the modifier and its location in the structure of the parent compound.

AbstractThe proximity to structural phase transitions in IV-VI thermoelectric materials is one of the main reasons for their large phonon anharmonicity and intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity κ. However, the κ of GeTe increases at the ferroelectric phase transition near 700 K. Using first-principles calculations with the temperature dependent effective potential method, we show that this rise in κ is the consequence of negative thermal expansion in the rhombohedral phase and increase in the phonon lifetimes in the high-symmetry phase. Strong anharmonicity near the phase transition induces non-Lorentzian shapes of the phonon power spectra. To account for these effects, we implement a method of calculating κ based on the Green-Kubo approach and find that the Boltzmann transport equation underestimates κ near the phase transition. Our findings elucidate the influence of structural phase transitions on κ and provide guidance for design of better thermoelectric materials.
