Ferroelectric Optics:Optical Bistability in Nonlinear Kerr Ferroelectric Materials
Ferroelectric oxides with perovskite structure such as PbLaTiO3 (PLT), BaTiO3, PbTiO3, SrBi2Ta2O9 and LiNbO3 are very attractive class of materials which possess numerous useful properties such as high dielectric constant, large spontaneous polarization, and remarkable optical nonlinearity. Potential applications of these materials include real-time holography, correlation filtering and various...
متن کاملNon-Kolmogorov-Avrami-Ishibashi switching dynamics in nanoscale ferroelectric capacitors.
Switching dynamics of nanoscale ferroelectric capacitors with a radius of 35 nm were investigated using piezoresponse force microscopy. Polarization switching starts with only one nucleation event occurring only at the predetermined places. The switching dynamics of nanoscale capacitors did not follow the classical Kolmogorov-Avrami-Ishibashi model. On the basis of the consideration of two sepa...
متن کاملFerroelectricity and Self-Polarization in Ultrathin Relaxor Ferroelectric Films
We report ferroelectricity and self-polarization in the (001) oriented ultrathin relaxor ferroelectric PMN-PT films grown on Nb-SrTiO3, SrRuO3 and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, respectively. Resistance-voltage measurements and AC impedance analysis suggest that at high temperatures Schottky depletion width in a 4 nm thick PMN-PT film deposited on Nb-SrTiO3 is smaller than the film thickness. We propose that ...
متن کاملOrigin of ferroelectricity in high-T(c) magnetic ferroelectric CuO.
Cupric oxide is a unique magnetic ferroelectric material with a transition temperature significantly higher than the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. However, the mechanism of high-T(c) multiferroicity in CuO remains puzzling. In this Letter, we clarify the mechanism of high-T(c) multiferroicity in CuO by using combined first-principles calculations and an effective hamiltonian model. We find ...
متن کاملWhy So Many Nodes?
This paper provides an analysis of the representation of various grammatical phenomena in both constituency structure and dependency structure (hereafter c-structure and d-structure), including agreement, case marking, and word order in transitive sentences, as well as three theoretical constructs, and the interface between the form of a sentence and its meaning. There is a crucial structural r...
