Temperature effect on the structural ferroelectric - paraelectric transition in Li2Ge7O15

2016-04-08
Li2Ge7O15 (LGO) undergoes the ferroelectric - paraelectric transition at T-c =283.5K. The crystal structure of LGO is orthorhombic with the four formula units in the unit cell in the paraelectric phase (T < T-C) . The ferroelectric phase of LGO (T < T-C) has also the orthorhombic crystal structure with the pseudotrigonal symmetry of the unit group. In this study, we investigate the structural ferroelectric - paraelectric phase transition in Li2Ge7O15.Temperature effect on various physical properties such as the dielectric constant, spontaneous polarization, reflected intensity related to the order parameter, the Raman frequencies of the lattice (Ag) modes and the linear thermal expansion, is studied here by analyzing the experimental data from the literature close to the ferroelectric - paraelectric transition in Li2Ge7O15.An order-disorder type of transition is indicated on the basis of our analyses of the physical properties studied here within the mean field (molecular field) theory for the ferroelectric - paraelectric transition in Li2Ge7O15.

Sen, S.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Kavruk, D. (2010-01-01)
Spontaneous polarization and the dielectric susceptibility are calculated as a function of temperature close to the paraelectric-ferroelectric phase transition (T-C=223 K) in (NH4)(2)SO4 This calculation is performed using a mean field model by fitting the expressions derived for the dielectric susceptibility to the experimental data for the dielectric constant at the fixed frequencies of 100, 500 and 2000 Hz in ammonium sulfate

Enginer, Y.; Salihoǧlu, S.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2003-08-01)
We have developed a mean field model for the paraelectric-ferrielectric phase transition in ammonium sulphate. In our model we assume that the quadrupolar. interactions are the dominant mechanism for this type of transition. The fit of our calculated susceptibility to the experimental data shows that the free energy, with a quadrupolar coupling term, can also adequately explain the observed behaviour of ammonium sulphate

We calculate the order parameter (spontaneous polarization) and the inverse dielectric susceptibility at various temperatures in the ferroelectric phase of LiNbO3 for its ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition (T-C =1260 K) using the Landau phenomenological model. For this calculation, the Raman frequencies of the soft optic mode (TO1) are used as the order parameter and the fitting procedure is employed for both the order parameter and the inverse dielectric susceptibility by means of the observed dat...

Filler nanoparticles pave the way for the development of novel halogen-free flame-retardant polymers. The aim of this study was to investigate the thermal degradability, and in particular, the thermal degradation mechanism of organophosphorus flame-retardant poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites containing nanoclay (NC) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT). For this purpose, thermogravimetry and direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analysis were utilized. The onset of degradation was delayed thro...

We investigate dynamic formation of nanosheet charge accumulations by heterointerface engineering in double injection layer (DIL) based organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Our experimental results show that the device performance is considerably improved for the DIL device as the result of heterointerface injection layer (HIIL) formation, in comparison to reference devices, namely, the current density is doubled and even quadrupled and the turn-on voltage is favorably halved, to 3.7 V, which is promising...
