The dielectric and electrically induced strain characteristics of Fe-substituted Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 single crystals have been investigated. These investigations have shown that Fe substitution results in: (i) a lowering of the field level required to obtain large strains, (ii) an increased squareness in the ε−E r…

In order to study the effects of penetrability in mixtures of dissimilar particles we consider hard (colloidal) spheres and penetrable spheres. The latter may be taken to represent ideal, noninteracting polymer coils. Polymers and colloids interact by means of a repulsive step-function pair potential, which allows for…

A tantalum–pentoxide dielectric with an enhanced permittivity of over 50 was found to be crystallized in a hexagonal symmetry with a=0.628 nm and c=0.389 nm. The incommensurate epitaxy of tantalum pentoxide on hcp-ruthenium metal stabilizes the hexagonal phase with √3-time periodicity in plane, as compared with that o…

Photoluminescence and electroluminescence from a Si/SiO2 superlattice have been measured. They show similar characteristics and exhibit an inhomogeneously broadened photoluminescence band peaked at 2.06 eV. The excitation spectrum indicates that excitations occur in the Si layers. The insensitivity of the luminescence…

Magnetic entropy change ΔS of compounds La(Fe1−xCox)11.2Si1.8 with the cubic NaZn13-type structure was investigated around their Curie temperature TC. It is found that the phase transition is completely reversible, indicating a nature of second order phase transition. The maximum value of |ΔS|∼13.0 J/kg K under a fiel…

Static and high-frequency magnetic properties have been studied for BaFe12−2xCoxZrxO19 with x=0–1.2. The x-ray diffraction and M–H curves of aligned samples show that Co–Zr substitution can modify the anisotropy of BaFe12−2xCoxZrxO19. BaFe12−2xCoxZrxO19 with x⩽0.6 has an easy c-axis anisotropy and the anisotropy field…
