Dielectric properties of complex perovskite lead scandium tantalate under dc bias (1998)

Chu, F., Fox, G. R., Setter, N.

The weak-field dielectric properties of ordered, disordered, and lead-deficient disordered Pb(Sc0.5Ta0.5)O-3 (PST) ceramics (PST-O, PST-D, and PST-DV, respectively) were investigated under various...

Formation of a Metastable BCC Solid Solution and Decomposition to a C15 Laves Phase in Melt-Spun CrNb10Ti10 (1997)

Chen, Katherine C., Kotula, P. G., Chu, F., Thoma, Dan J.

A metastable, disordered bcc phase has been formed from the melt in a Cr-rich alloy of the Nb-Cr-Ti system, where large volume fractions of the Laves phase would develop under equilibrium...

TEM of antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase boundary in (Pb1-xBax)(Zr1-xTix)O-3 solid solution (1997)

Reaney, I. M., Glazounov, A., Chu, F., Bell, A., Setter, N.

TEM and XRD have been used to characterise the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase boundary which exists in the (Pb1-xBax)(Zr1-xTix)O-3 solid solution close to the PbZrO3 end member. Electron...

High frequency dielectric relaxation in Pb(Sc1/2Ta1/2)O-3 ceramics (1996)

Chu, F., Setter, N., Elissalde, C., Ravez, J.

Pb(Sc1/2Ta1/2)O-3 ceramics have been characterized by dielectric measurements in a wide range of frequencies (10(2)-10(9) Hz). A strong dispersion occurs with two low and high frequency contributions...

Piezoelectricity and Phase-Transitions of the Mixed-Layer Bismuth Titanate Niobate Bi7ti4nbo21 (1995)

The piezoelectric properties of the bismuth titanate niobate Bi7Ti4NbO21 have been studied. The two phase transitions at 677 degrees and 856 degrees C are analyzed based on the measured piezoelectric...

Role of Defects in the Ferroelectric Relaxer Lead Scandium Tantalate (1995)

CHU, F., Reaney, I. M., Setter, N.

Unlike Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 and similar ferroelectric relaxors which never truly become ferroelectric at zero-field, disordered Pb(Sc1/2Ta1/2)O-3 (PST) is a relaxer that spontaneously transforms into a...
