Organic pyroelectric materials for device applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The wide range of applications of thermal imaging devices existing in military, industrial and space fields attract researchers to study pyroelectric materials which exhibit a temperature-dependent spontaneous polarisation. A brief review of pyroelectricity, pyroelectric materials and some commercial applications of these materials we will be given in this paper.

متن کاملSynthesis, structure, and properties of 4,7-dimethoxybenzo[c]tellurophene: a molecular pyroelectric material.
The formation of molecular crystals that possess a polar axis in the solid state is largely an unexplored area, and no generic understanding is available to this day. Materials with a polar axis (a permanent dipole moment in the solid state) potentially possess ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and pyroelectric properties. Pyroelectric solids are used as the keymaterial in a variety of components, ...
متن کاملApplications of pyroelectric particle accelerators
The discovery of pyroelectric X-ray generation in 1992 by Brownridge has led to a recent surge of interest in the use of the pyroelectric effect as a means of producing useful radiation. By heating or cooling a pyroelectric crystal such as lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) in a vacuum, a potential on the order of 100 kV can be generated. This potential is great enough to eject electrons from the cryst...
متن کاملPyroelectric Ceramics for Infrared Detection Applications
Pyroelectric and dielectric properties of modified PZT and PZ have been studied for their use in infrared detectors. Various material figure-of-merits for their use in infrared detector are calculated including when the pyroelectric element is placed on heat-sink condition. The results are compared with exiting candidate materials.
متن کاملGraphene-based mid-infrared room-temperature pyroelectric bolometers with ultrahigh temperature coefficient of resistance
There is a growing number of applications demanding highly sensitive photodetectors in the mid-infrared. Thermal photodetectors, such as bolometers, have emerged as the technology of choice, because they do not need cooling. The performance of a bolometer is linked to its temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR, ∼2-4% K-1 for state-of-the-art materials). Graphene is ideally suited for optoel...
