AbstractPyroelectric properties of triglycine sulfate (TGS) thick films, separately doped with L and D alanine were investigated. Internal bias field of about 1 kV/cm, induced by the two dopants, stabilize the polarization in the opposite direction on the ferroelectric axis. Pyroelectric current (under constant stress) was recorded with a computer controlled Keithley 6517 electrometer, crossing up and down the Curie point. A reverse external electric field was applied on doped materials during heating, crossing up the Curie point. It is shown that the pyroelectric coefficient can be increased about four times at room temperature under un optimized DC electric field applied on the pyroelectric wafer.

Compositionally graded Ba(1-x)SrxTiO3 thick films were fabricated by the airflow deposition technique. Films displayed hysteresis translation along the polarization axis when driven by an alternating electric field. The trend of the hysteresis shift as a function of temperature is similar to the difference of DC currents measured when a positive and negative DC electric field is applied. The study suggests that the origin of this phenomenon lies in an asymmetry of the film conductance due to the presence of asymmetric Schottky contacts at the BaTiO3/Ag and Ag/Ba0.xSr1-0.xTiO3 interfaces.

The effect of a DC electric field on the formation and the characteristics of a nitrogen bubble injected from an orifice were studied experimentally and theoretically. This study was the first to divide the bubble growth process into four stages (waiting, expansion, deformation and detachment) according to the variation of the bubble shape in order to analyze the bubble behavior in the electric field. During the waiting stage, the waiting interval decreases significantly as the electric field strength rises. In the expansion stage, the minor axis reaches a maximum that decreases with increasing the electric field strength. Within the deformation stage, the major axis achieves its maximum and so does the aspect ratio. As the electric field strength rises, both the maximums of the major axis and the aspect ratio increase. At the detachment stage, as the electric field strength is intensified, the major axis lengthens, the minor axis shortens and the aspect ratio lengthens. From the waiting stage to the detachment stage, the effect of the electric field on the major axis of the bubble is marginal, while with increasing the electric field strength, the minor axis decreases distinctly and thus the aspect ratio increases. To employ the four-stage model, the bubble growth process was analyzed in detail under the electric field. The electric stress exerted on the bubble surface was calculated. The results show that the electric stress compresses the bubble equator and elongates the poles of the bubble, causing the bubble to elongate along the electric field direction.

AbstractA conducting drop suspended in a viscous dielectric and subjected to a uniform DC electric field deforms to a steady-state shape when the electric stress and the viscous stress balance. Beyond a critical electric capillary number $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}\mathit{Ca}$, which is the ratio of the electric to the capillary stress, a drop undergoes breakup. Although the steady-state deformation is independent of the viscosity ratio $\lambda $ of the drop and the medium phase, the breakup itself is dependent upon $\lambda $ and $\mathit{Ca}$. We perform a detailed experimental and numerical analysis of the axisymmetric shape prior to breakup (ASPB), which explains that there are three different kinds of ASPB modes: the formation of lobes, pointed ends and non-pointed ends. The axisymmetric shapes undergo transformation into the non-axisymmetric shape at breakup (NASB) before disintegrating. It is found that the lobes, pointed ends and non-pointed ends observed in ASPB give way to NASB modes of charged lobes disintegration, regular jets (which can undergo a whipping instability) and open jets, respectively. A detailed experimental and numerical analysis of the ASPB modes is conducted that explains the origin of the experimentally observed NASB modes. Several interesting features are reported for each of the three axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric modes when a drop undergoes breakup.

The electromechanical properties of layered, two-dimensional materials of CuInP2S6 family have been investigated. It was shown that, at room temperature, which is above phase transition and under DC bias electric field, these materials behave as a piezoelectric because of electrostriction. In this case, the piezoelectric and electromechanical coupling coefficients are odd functions of the bias field and have a linear dependence on the bias field. The relative changes of ultrasonic velocity are found to have a quadratic dependence on the bias DC field. In bias fields of about 20 kV/m, the values of square of electromechanical coupling coefficient could be high enough (>20%) for longitudinal vibrations in thin plates of investigated CuInP2(S,Se)6 materials in the paraelectric phase. In the ferroelectric phase, the external DC electric field acts as polarizing field and electromechanical coupling coefficients sufficiently increase. At the transitions, the piezoelectric anomalies have been observed.

Pb0.97La0.02(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 antiferroelectric thick films were prepared on platinized silicon substrates by sol–gel methods. Films showed polycrystalline perovskite structure with a strong (100) preferred orientation. The antiferroelectric nature of the films was confirmed by the double hysteresis behaviors versus applied field. The temperature dependence of dielectric constant and loss displayed the Curie temperature was 225oC.The current caused by the polarization and depolarization of polar was detected at coupling application of electric field and temperature. The phase transition characterization could be effectively adjusted by electric field and temperature.
