Although lead lanthanum titanate materials have been extensively studied because of its interesting structural and electrical properties, only recently we developed the OPM tech- nique to be used with rare earth elements. In this paper, we are reporting the synthesis of lead lanthanum titanate (PLT) powders by the oxidant-peroxo method (OPM) with up to 30% in mol of lanthanum, the sinterization of dense ceramics bodies at different temperatures and their electrical characterization. 2. Experimental 2.1. Synthesis All of the chemical reagents were used as received without any purification. Lead lanthanum titanate with nominal composition of Pb1−xLaxTiO3, with x up to 0.30, was prepared by the OPM route [11–17] through the addition of 1 g (0.02 mol) of tita- nium metal powder (99.7%, Aldrich, Germany) into a mixture of 90 mL of hydrogen peroxide (analytical grade, Synth, Brazil) and 60 mL of ammonia aqueous solution (analytical grade, Synth-Brazil).

The lead glycolate precursor has superior electrical properties than lead acetate trihydrate, suggesting that the lead glycolate precursor can possibly be used as a starting material mixed with other precursors such as titanium glycolate and sodium tris (glycozirconate) to produce lead titanate, lead zirconate, and lead zirconate titanate by sol-gel transition process. ∫∑§¥¬— àÕ ß“π«‘®—¬π’ȉ¥â»÷°…“°“√‡°‘¥ªØ‘°‘√‘¬“√–À«à“߇≈¥Õ–´’‡µ¥‰µ√‰Œ‡¥√µ ·≈–‡Õ∑‘≈’π‰°≈§Õ≈‚¥¬„™â “√ ‰µ√‡Õ∑‘≈’π‡µµ√–¡’π‡ªìπ§–µ–≈’ µå‡æ◊ËÕ„™â„π°“√º≈‘µ “√µ—Èßµâπ‚æ≈‘‡¡Õ√å§◊Õ‡≈¥‰°≈‚§‡≈µ [-PbOCH2CH2O-] ∑ ”§’Ë ≠™π— ¥Àπ‘ ßµ÷Ë Õ¢∫«π°“√𔉪„™à „π°“√ â ߇§√“–À— å “√‰¥Õ‡≈§µ√‘ °™π‘ ¥µ‘ “ßÊà ‰¥·°â à “√‡øÕ√‚√‰¥Õå ‡≈§µ√‘ °‘ “√·Õπ‰∑‡øÕ√å‚√Õ‘‡≈§µ√‘°·≈– “√‡æ’¬‚´‰¥Õ‘‡≈§µ√‘°®“°°“√ —߇§√“–Àå¥â«¬ “√ª√–°Õ∫ÕÕ°‰´¥å‡æ’¬ß ¢—ÈπµÕπ‡¥’¬«∑’ˇ√’¬°«à“ Oxide One Pot Synthesis (OOPS) ∑”„À≥⠓√µ—Èßµâπ‡≈¥‰°≈‚§‡≈µ¡’ ¡∫—µ‘∑“߉øøÑ“ ¥’°«à“‡≈¥Õ–´’‡µ¥‰µ√‰Œ‡¥√µ πÕ°®“°π’Ȭ—ß “¡“√∂𔉪„™âº ¡°—∫ “√µ—Èßµâπ™π‘¥Õ◊ËπÊ ‡™àπ ‰∑∑“‡π’¬¡ ‰°≈‚§‡≈µ·≈–‚´‡¥’¬¡∑√’ ‰°≈‚§‡´Õ√傧‡πµ‡æ◊ËÕº≈‘µ‡≈¥‰∑∑“‡πµ ‡≈¥‡´Õ√傧‡πµ·≈–‡≈¥‡´Õ√傧‡πµ ‰∑∑“‡πµ ‚¥¬ºà“π°√–∫«π°“√‚´≈-‡®≈∑√“π ‘™—Ëπ Key Words : OOPS, Sol-gel process, Dielectric materials §” ”§—≠ : OOPS °√–∫«π°“√‚´≈-‡®≈ «— ¥ÿ‰¥Õ‘‡≈§µ√‘° * Ph.D.

    Structure and Properties of Lead Zirconate Titanate Thin Films by Pulsed Laser Deposition GOH WEI CHUAN (B.Sc (Hons), NUS) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctoral of Philosophy Department of Physics National University of Singapore 2005 Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisors, Prof. Ong Chong Kim and Dr. Yao Kui. I would like to thank Prof. Ong for giving me the opportunity to study and perform research work in the Center of Superconducting and Magnetic Materials (CSMM). His passion and enthusiasm in the search for understanding the underlying physics of the experiments have deeply influenced my mindset in conducting experiments and will continue to be my source of inspiration and guidance. Without Prof. Ong’s constant guidance and criticism, I would have lost my bearing in the vast sea of knowledge, and would not have reached this far. I would also like to express my greatest appreciation to Dr. Yao Kui in Institute of Material Research and Engineering (IMRE). His constant advice and meticulous attention to the theoretical and experimental details had deeply influenced my way of research both in designing experiments and interpreting the results. Without his supervision and encouragements in countless hours of his time, it would not be possible for me to complete my publications and thesis. For that I am in debt to him and will forever remember his advice when pursuing my future endeavors. I am indebted to my fellow colleagues in CSMM, IMRE and Department of Physics, NUS, including A/P Sow Chorng Haur, Xu Sheng Yong, Wang Shi Jie, Li Jie, Yang Tao, Tan Chin Yaw, Rao Xue Song, Chen Lin Feng, Yan Lei, Kong Lin Bing, Liu Hua Jun, Lim Poh Chong, Yu Shu Hui, Gan Bee Keen and all those have shared their time helping me and discussing with me in this project.

Crystalline nature of the synthesized PZT has been confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction studies. The particle size and strain is calculated from X-ray peak broadening analysis by using Williamson-Hall plot. The crystallite size is also calculated using Debye-Scherrer’s formula. Also, the surface morphology and particle size of the samples were imaged using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Dielectric measurement demonstrates that decrease in dielectric constant with increase in temperature. The temperature dependence of the ac conductivity indicated that the conduction process is due to singly ionized (in ferroelectric region) and doubly ionized (in paraelectric region).

Krishnan Road, Delhi 110012, India 4 School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Fife KY16 9SS, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract We review all the published literature and show that there is no experimental evidence for homogeneous tin titanate SnTiO3 in bulk or thin-film form. Instead a combination of unrelated artefacts are easily misinterpreted. The X-ray Bragg data are contaminated by double scattering from the Si substrate, giving a strong line at the 2-theta angle exactly where perovskite SnTiO3 should appear. The strong dielectric divergence near 560K is irreversible and arises from oxygen site detrapping, accompanied by Warburg/Randles interfacial anomalies. The small (4 uC/cm2) apparent ferroelectric hysteresis remains in samples shown in pure (Sn,Ti)O2 rutile/cassiterite, in which ferroelectricity is forbidden. Only very recent German work reveals real bulk SnTiO3, but this is completely inhomogeneous, consisting of an elaborate array of stacking faults, not suitable for ferroelectric devices. Unpublished TEM data reveal an inhomogeneous SnO layered structured thin films, related to shell-core structures. The harsh conclusion is that there is a combination of unrelated artefacts masquerading as ferroelectricity in powders and ALD films; and only a trace of a second phase in Cambridge PLD data suggests any perovskite content at all.

  • Piezoelectric Response of Lead Titanate As a Function of Size
    Piezoelectric response of Lead Titanate as a function of size Master thesis by Yizhi Wu Zernike Institute, University of Groningen Group: Solid state materials for electronics Supervisors: Prof. dr. Beatriz Noheda Drs. Oleksiy Nesterov Period: September 2010-July 2011 Abstract In this project, the size effect of ferroelectric PbTiO 3 (PTO) thin films is investigated. The piezoelectric coefficient d 33 describes the linear relationship between the vertical deformation of a piezoelectric crystal and the external electric field. The theoretical analysis predicted that the d 33 increases with decreasing lateral sizes of the PTO thin film due to the release of the clamping to the substrate. In this project, the PTO thin film was fabricated into ~1 µm islands and the piezoelectric response was measured. The PTO samples are prepared by Pulsed Laser Depostion (PLD), upon a SrRuO 3 (SRO) bottom electrode and a DyScO 3 (DSO) substrate. The PTO films are [001] oriented single crystals, with a thichness of 30nm. The PTO islands are designed by Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) and etched by buffered HF (BHF). The 30nm PTO films were successfully etched, with the lateral sizes ranging from 5×5 µm2 to 0.5×0.5 µm2. The topography measured by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) showed that the PTO islands were in good shape. The ferroelectric polarization could be switched by Piezoelectric Force Microscopy (PFM). The piezoelectric hysteresis loop measured by PFM demonstrated that the piezoelectric coefficient d33 increases with decreasing lateral sizes, in a

    DE13F7563 Universität Bonn Physikalisches Institut X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy in Biological Systems: Opportunities and Limitations von Gudrun Lisa Bovenkamp X-ray absorption spectroscopy has become more important for applications in the material sciences, geology, environmental science and biology, specifically in the field of molecular biology. The scope of this thesis is to add more experimental evidence in order to show how applicable X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) is to biology. Two biological systems were investigated, at the molecular level, lead uptake in plants and the effect of silver on bacteria. This investigation also included an analysis of the sensitivity of Pb L3- and Ag L3-XANES spectra with regard to their chemical environment. It was shown that Pb L3- and Ag L3 -XANES spectra are sensitive to an environment with at least differences in the second coordination shell. The non-destructive and element specific properties of XANES are the key advantages that were very important for this investigation. However, in both projects the adequate selection of reference compounds, which required in some cases a chemical synthesis, was the critical factor to determine the chemical speciation and, finally, possible uptake and storage mechanisms for plants and antibacterial mechanisms of silver. The chemical environment of Pb in roots and leaves of plants from four different plant families and a lichen from a former lead mining site in the Eifel mountains in Germany was determined using both solid compounds and aqueous solutions of different ionic strength, which simulate the plant environment. The results can be interpreted in such a way that lead is sorbed on the surface of cell walls.
