چکیده
Characterization methods for bulk non-centrosymmetric compounds are described. These methods include second-harmonic generation, piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, and ferroelectricity. In this tutorial review with each phenomenon, details are given of the measurement techniques along with a brief history and background. Finally, data interpretation is discussed.

Niobates Nanowires: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications
Perovskite oxides such as alkaline niobates crystal possess many interesting properties including piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, electro-optic and nonlinear optical response (Bhalla et al., 2000). The most common alkaline niobates material is lithium niobate (LiNbO3). Since the discovery of LiNbO3 ferroelectricity (Matthias & Remeika, 1949), its properties are widely exploited by electronic...
متن کاملProbing helix formation in chains of vertex-linked octahedra{{
The rational design of crystal structures based on the chemical nature of molecular components, a longstanding and exciting research topic in organic solid state chemistry, is an emerging theme of crystal engineering in inorganic solid state chemistry. In particular, noncentrosymmetric structures, or those lacking inversion symmetry, are important for future technologies that are based on piezo...
متن کاملSecond Harmonic Generation Diagnostic of Layer by Layer Deposition from Disperse Red 1–Functionalized Maleic Anhydride Copolymer
Layer-by-layer (LBL) electrostatic assembly of poly-electrolytes is proving to be an increasingly rich and versatile technique for the formation of multilayered thin films with a wide range of electrical, magnetic, and optical properties. In the present work we synthesized a new nonlinear optical (NLO) maleic acid copolymer containing Disperse Red 1 moieties, built-up multilayer assemblies by a...
متن کاملPiezoelectricity and Ferroelectricity in Biomaterials: From Proteins to Self-assembled Peptide Nanotubes
Piezoelectricity is one of the common ferroelectric material properties, along with pyroelectricity, etc. There has been widespread observation of piezoelectric and ferroelectric phenomena in many biological systems and molecules, and these are referred to as biopiezoelectricity and bioferroelectricity. Investigations have been made of these properties in biological and organic macromolecular s...
متن کاملSecond harmonic generation from the surface of centrosymmetric particles in bulk solution
Second harmonic generation (SHG) is reported for the first time from the surfaces of centrosymmetric particles in bulk isotropic solution. Although SHG is generally described as electric dipole forbidden in centrosymmetric systems, we show that this requires the system to be centrosymmetric on length scales much less than the coherence length of the process. This condition is not satisfied for ...
