Lifetime of ferroelectric Pb„Zr,Ti...O3 ceramic cathodes with high current density

چکیده
Electron emission from ferroelectric cathodes is investigated, it is commonly suggested as an electron source for different applications due to its special characteristics such as high current density, easy treatment, and operation. In this experimental research, a lifetime of lead zirconate-titanate ceramic cathode with composition related to a ferroelectric phase was studied. The strong plasma emission from the cathode was excited in a nonreversal ~nonswitching! mode by application of unipolar high stress. Severe damage to the cathodes was observed, especially in a high repetition rate. An upper limit of the lifetime of the ferroelectric cathode with plasma-induced emission was estimated at about ;10 pulses of ;200 ns each at ;100 Hz repetition rate. Possible applications of the limited lifetime ferroelectric cathode are discussed. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1329350#

Switching ferroelectric domain configurations using both electric and magnetic fields in Pb(Zr,Ti)O3-Pb(Fe,Ta)O3 single-crystal lamellae.
Thin single-crystal lamellae cut from Pb(Zr,Ti)O3-Pb(Fe,Ta)O3 ceramic samples have been integrated into simple coplanar capacitor devices. The influence of applied electric and magnetic fields on ferroelectric domain configurations has been mapped, using piezoresponse force microscopy. The extent to which magnetic fields alter the ferroelectric domains was found to be strongly history dependent...

Multiferroic CoFe2O4-Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 lms were prepared on TiO2-terminated (001) Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrates by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The lms were epitaxial and exhibited a large in-plane magnetic anisotropy and good ferroelectric properties. A decrease in the magnetization around the ferroelectric Curie temperature indicated magnetoelectric coupling between the magnetostrictive and th...
متن کاملTransformation toughening in an antiferroelectric ceramic
Due to a larger specific volume of the ferroelectric phase, the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric transition is believed to have an enhanced toughening effect against fracture. The toughening requires a non-recoverable transformation in the crack process zone. Complementary measurement of the crystal symmetry, dielectric constant, field-induced polarization, and Raman spectrum on ceramic Pb0.99Nb...
