研究目的
Investigating the effects of alternating current treatment (ACT) on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of [001]-oriented 0.25PIN-0.43PMN-0.32PT single crystals near the morphotropic phase boundary.
研究成果
The alternating current treatment (ACT) significantly enhances the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of [001]-oriented 0.25PIN-0.43PMN-0.32PT single crystals near the morphotropic phase boundary. The optimized ACT conditions (1 kV/mm at 50 Hz over 20 cycles) improved the dielectric permittivity and piezoelectric coefficient by 48% and 54%, respectively, compared to direct current poling (DCP). The study also revealed the involvement of induced monoclinic phases in the phase transition process and the potential role of nanoscale heterogeneous polar-regions in enhancing dielectric properties at high temperatures. ACT is a promising method for improving the performance of relaxor ferroelectric single crystals for device applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to the specific composition of 0.25PIN-0.43PMN-0.32PT single crystals and the effects of ACT under the tested conditions. Further research is needed to explore the broader applicability and optimization of ACT for other compositions and conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved applying an alternating current electric field on pre-direct current poled (DCP) single crystals to investigate the induced dielectric and piezoelectric properties. The ACT conditions were optimized at 1 kV/mm, 50 Hz over 20 cycles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
[001]-oriented 0.25PIN-0.43PMN-0.32PT single crystals near the morphotropic phase boundary were used. The samples were cut into 5 × 5 × 0.5 mm3 and annealed at 600 °C for 10 h to release residual stress.
3:25PIN-43PMN-32PT single crystals near the morphotropic phase boundary were used. The samples were cut into 5 × 5 × 5 mm3 and annealed at 600 °C for 10 h to release residual stress.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: High voltage amplifier (PZD2000A, Trek), functional generator (DG1022, RIGOL), oscilloscope (DS1104Z, RIGOL), quasistatic d33 meter (ZJ-2, CAS), LCR meter (E4284A, Agilent), high temperature chamber.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The single crystal samples were first poled under a direct current electric field of 1 kV/mm at room temperature for 5 min. Then, an alternating current electric field was applied under various conditions of frequency, cycles, and amplitude. The piezoelectric constant d33 and dielectric permittivity were measured at room temperature, and the temperature dependence of dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss was measured from room temperature to 300 °C.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The dielectric permittivity was calculated from the capacitance measured by the LCR meter. The piezoelectric coefficient was measured using the quasistatic d33 meter. The temperature dependence of dielectric properties was analyzed to understand the phase transition behavior.
