Mobility of Domain Walls in Proper Ferroelastic Martensites
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on the Landau-Ginzberg free energy functional for an Oh-D4h proper ferroelastic martensitic transformation the mobility of a (I 10) twin boundary in a large bicrystal has been calculated by including dissipation in the approximation of the phonon viscosity model and by solving the inverse boundary value problem for the limiting case of strong shear modulus softening. Application to actual materials requires determination of the phonon viscosity tensor from experimental ultrasonic attenuation or low frequency internal friction data after subtraction of "extrinsic" losses, especially those from pretransformation structural strain modulations ("tweed') and dislocations. Numerical application to V3Si, the only proper fenoelastic martensite for which such experimental data pertaining to the soft [I 10]/[1TO] shear mode are available, is discussed.

Ferroelastic domain switching dynamics under electrical and mechanical excitations.
In thin film ferroelectric devices, switching of ferroelastic domains can significantly enhance electromechanical response. Previous studies have shown disagreement regarding the mobility or immobility of ferroelastic domain walls, indicating that switching behaviour strongly depends on specific microstructures in ferroelectric systems. Here we study the switching dynamics of individual ferroel...

متن کاملFerroelastic Domain Boundary-Based Multiferroicity
Domain boundary engineering endeavors to develop materials that contain localized functionalities inside domain walls, which do not exist in the bulk. Here we review multiferroic devices that are based on ferroelectricity inside ferroelastic domain boundaries. The discovery of polarity in CaTiO3 and SrTiO3 leads to new directions to produce complex domain patterns as templates for ferroic devices.

We present a model based on continuum elasticity and energy minimization for the study of ferroelastic domain walls close to a surface. We focus on walls orthogonal to the surface, and predict a double-peak structure in the surface values of the squared elastic strain, which is directly related to the chemical reactivity. We also compute the height proole, which can be measured, in principle, e...
