چکیده
We report the fixing of a photorefractive grating in KTa(1-x)Nb(x)O(3). The procedure involves the writing of a photorefractive grating in the cubic phase and the cooling of the sample under an applied field into the rhombohedral phase. We discuss possible mechanisms responsible for the effect.

Electrical fixing of photorefractive holograms in Sro . 7 5 Bao . 25 Nb 2 O 6
Volume holograms recorded in photorefractive materials can find important applications in optical memories and optical computing systems. One problem with a photorefractive hologram is that it gets erased by the readout light. Nondestructive readout can be achieved by hologram fixing, and several fixing methods have been reported. Thermal fixing of holograms was demonstrated in LiNbO3,' Bi1 2Si...
متن کاملFixing of photorefractive volume holograms in K(1-y)Li(y)Ta(1-x)O(3).
We report the fixing of photorefractive holographic gratings with high efficiency in a sample of K(1-y)Li(y)Ta(1-x)Nb(x)O(3) doped with Cu, V, and Ti. Holograms are thermally fixed through the screening of a photorefractive space-charge f ield by a nonphotoactive species at elevated temperatures. Fixed holograms are revealed by illumination at lower temperatures. Diffraction efficiencies of 25%...

متن کاملCan an electric field induce an antiferroelectric phase out of a ferroelectric phase?
It has been widely accepted that electric fields favor the ferroelectric phase with parallel electric dipoles over the antiferroelectric phase. With detailed measurements in polycrystalline ceramics of Pb(0.99)Nb(0.02[(Zr(0.57)Sn(0.43)(1-y)Ti(y)](0.98)O(3), we demonstrate in this Letter that electric fields can induce an antiferroelectric phase out of a ferroelectric phase, i.e., trigger an app...

Double doped (Nd + K) ferroelectric lead germanate single crystals were grown by controlled cooling of melt. Greenish tinge crystals of 5 x 4 x 3 mm were found embedded in the solid. Pure lead germanate was grown by cz technique for comparative analysis. Dielectric constant and loss tangent of pure crystals showed a sharp dielectric peak at 179°C while dielectric constant of doped crystals show...
