Welcome Session 1 Relaxor Structure and Dynamics Chair –
The effect of electron irradiation on the ferroelectric properties ofLangmuir-Blodgett films of the copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) isinvestigated using 1.26 MeV electrons with dosages from 16 to 110 Mrad. Films wereirradiated in the ferroelectric state to investigate the effect of defect introduction inultrathin films. Electron irradiation is known to ...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Ferroelectrics
The investigation of the finite-size effect in ferroelectric crystals and films has been limited by the experimental conditions. The smallest demonstrated ferroelectric crystals had a diameter of 200 A and the thinnest ferroelectric films were 200 A thick, macroscopic sizes on an atomic scale. Langmuir ± Blodgett deposition of films one monolayer at a time has produced high quality ferroelectri...
متن کاملOptical second-harmonic-generation probe of two-dimensional ferroelectricity.
Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) is used as a noninvasive probe of two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectricity in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of the copolymer vinylidene fluoride with trifluoroethylene. The surface 2D ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition in the topmost layer of the LB films and a thickness-independent (almost 2D) transition in the bulk of these films are observed in t...
متن کاملOriented polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) films by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition: a synchrotron X-ray diffraction study.
Langmuir-Blodgett films of polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene - P(VDF-TrFE)-copolymers possess substantially improved electrocaloric and pyroelectric properties, when compared with conventionally spin-cast films. In order to rationalize this, we prepared single-layered films of P(VDF-TrFE) (70 : 30) using both deposition techniques. Grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS),...
متن کاملThe effect of interlayer interactions on the ferroelectricâ•fiparaelectric phase transition in multilayered thin films of vinylidene fluorideâ•fitrifluoroethylene copolymers
The interaction between ferroelectric polymer films with different transition temperatures is evident in the effect of layer thickness on the ferroelectric– paraelectric phase transition in multilayer films, as revealed by x-ray diffraction and dielectric measurements. The multilayer samples consisted of alternating Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of two different copolymers of vinylidene fluoride...
