ABSTRACTAn anomaly of the temperature dependence of the unit cell parameter has been observed for β–PbF2 single crystals at 200 K that is interpreted as a phase transition to a pseudocubic lattice. Such a pseudocubic phase is observable at room temperature after uniaxial plastic deformation of the bulk single crystals. The structural aspects of the β→α transition have been established. The as-grown crystals of α–PbF2 phase are shown to undergo a phase transition at 100 K.

AbstractCompressive deformations of L10-ordered single crystals of FePd have been investigated from room temperature to 873 K. The critical resolved shear stress for superlattice dislocations is hard to determine resulting from buckling that occurs after a small amount of conventional plastic deformation. The CRSS for superlattice dislocations determined from yield stress is significantly larger than that of ordinary dislocations. The CRSS for octahedral glide of ordinary and superlattice dislocations are virtually independent of the temperature, and the positive temperature dependence of the yield stress is not observed for both, ordinary and superlattice dislocations, by the present experiments.

Piezoelectric properties k33 and d33 of 0.67 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.33 PbTiO3 single crystals grown by a modified Bridgman method were measured in the temperature range of 20–150 °C. Recoverability of the properties after the samples were heated to 110 °C, above the ferroelectric–ferroelectric (F–F) phase transition temperature of the composition, was found. From 20 to approximately 80 °C, k33 increases slightly, while d33 is almost doubled. Between approximately 90 and 100 °C, k33 decreases sharply to roughly a level of PZT-5 ceramics and d33 decreases to about 700 pC/N. They increase again with further increase of temperature; at 140 °C they attain 0.74 and approximately 1300 pC/N, respectively, and then decrease quickly and approach zero at about 150 °C. When heating to 110 °C followed by cooling to room temperature, the property decay is small. After more than one dozen heating–cooling cycles, k33 and d33 tend to be stable at 0.89 and approximately 1220 pC/N, respectively. The results might be helpful for device design and applications of PMN–PT single crystals.

AbstractThe plastic deformation behavior of single crystals of two transition-metal diborides, ZrB2 and TiB2 with the AlB2 structure has been investigated at room temperature as a function of crystal orientation and specimen size by micropillar compression tests. Although plastic flow is not observed at all for their bulk single crystals at room temperature, plastic flow is successfully observed at room temperature by the operation of slip on {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<11$${\bar{2}}$$ 2 ¯ 3> in ZrB2 and by the operation of slip on {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<0001> and {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<11$${\bar{2}}$$ 2 ¯ 0> in TiB2. Critical resolve shear stress values at room temperature are very high, exceeding 1 GPa for all observed slip systems; 3.01 GPa for {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<11$${\bar{2}}$$ 2 ¯ 3> slip in ZrB2 and 1.72 GPa and 5.17 GPa, respectively for {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<0001> and {1$${\bar{1}}$$ 1 ¯ 00}<11$${\bar{2}}$$ 2 ¯ 0> slip in TiB2. The identified operative slip systems and their CRSS values are discussed in comparison with those identified in the corresponding bulk single crystals at high temperatures and those inferred from micro-hardness anisotropy in the early studies.

The c-axis tunneling properties of both pristine Bi2212 and its HgBr 2 intercalate have been measured in the temperature range 4.2-250 K. Lithographically patterned 7-10 unit-cell heigh mesa structures on the surfaces of these single crystals were investigated. Clear SIS-like tunneling curves for current applied in the c-axis direction have been observed. The dynamic conductance d I/ d V(V) shows both sharp peaks corresponding to a superconducting gap edge and a dip feature beyond the gap, followed by a wide maximum, which persists up to a room temperature. Shape of the temperature dependence of the c-axis resistance does not change after the intercalation suggesting that a coupling between CuO 2-bilayers has little effect on the pseudogap.

AbstractThe two line 35Cl NQR spectrum of 4,5-dichloroimidazole was measured in the temperature range 77≦ T/K ≦ 389. The temperature dependence of the NQR frequencies conforms with the Bayer model and no phase transition is indicated in the curves v ( 35Cl)= f(T). Also the temperature coefficients of the 35Cl NQR frequencies are "normal". At 77 K the 35Cl NQR frequencies are 37.409 MHz and 36.172 MHz and at 389 K 35.758 MHz and 34.565 MHz. The compound crystallizes at room temperature with the tetragonal space group D44-P41212, Z = 8 molecules per unit cell; at 295 K : a = 684.2(5) pm, c = 2414.0(20) pm. The relations between the crystal structure and the NQR spectrum are discussed.

AbstractThe strain rate sensitivity ß of the flow stress τ is associated with workhardening and β=(δτ/δln ε) is proportional to the workhardening increment τh = τ - τy, where τy is the strain rate independent yield stress. The temperature dependence of β/τh reflects changes in the rate controlling mechanism. At intermediate and high temperatures, the hardening correlates with the density of [101] dislocations on (010). The nature of the local obstacles at room temperature is not established.

Compressive deformation of L10-ordered single crystals of FePd whose c/a ratio less than unity have been investigated from room temperature to 823 K. The results show that the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for octahedral glide of ordinary dislocations is smaller than that of super-lattice dislocations in all the temperature range investigated, that is the opposite sense to the case of Ti-56 mol% Al. The CRSS for ordinary dislocations virtually independent to the temperature. On the other hand, the CRSS for super dislocations exhibits a weak positive temperature dependence from room temperature up to 573 K and decreases in higher temperatures.

ABSTRACTThe dielectric response of BaBi2Nb2O9 (BBN) thin films has been studied as a function of frequency over a wide range of temperatures. Both dielectric constant and loss tangent of BBN thin films showed a ‘power law’ dependence with frequency, which was analyzed using the Jonscher's universal dielectric response model. Theoretical fits were utilized to compare the experimental results and also to estimate the value of temperature dependence parameters such as n(T) and a(T) used in the Jonscher's model. The room temperature dielectric constant (ε') of the BBN thin films was 214 with a loss tangent (tanδ) of 0.04 at a frequency of 100 kHz. The films exhibited the second order dielectric phase transition from ferroelectric to paraelectric state at a temperature of 220 °C. The nature of phase transition was confirmed from the temperature dependence of dielectric constant and sponteneous polarization,respectively. The calculated Currie constant for BBN thin films was 4 × 105°C.

High resolution XANES measurements have been made at the CuK-absorption edge on two La 2-x Sr x CuO 4-y single crystals; one under-doped (x = 0.13) and the other over-doped (x = 0.19). These measurements have been made in E//ab and E//c directions at several temperatures to compare the doping, orientation and temperature dependence in their behaviour. Broadly speaking, their XANES spectra resemble the typical one from a crystal with square-planar geometry and the various fine structure features assigned to the possible transitions they arise due to, particularly in terms of the fact that the 4p band in Cu splits into 4p(π) and 4p(σ) components in these square-planar systems. However, the temperature dependence of the various features in the spectra from the two crystals appear to be opposite in nature and exhibit some characteristic temperatures at which the trend seems to reverse. All the experimental results and their implication are discussed and a possibility of phase transition of these systems at lower temperatures is hinted at.
