In ferroelectric materials, hysteresis behavior is very difficult to model due to its nonlinear and history-dependent characteristics. Among approaches that are able to describe unsaturated loops, many of them are either very complicated (numerical procedures must be employed) or the resulting loops contain some undes…

We have used molecular-dynamics simulations to examine the displacement threshold energy (Ed) surface for cations and anions in Gd2Ti2O7 and Gd2Zr2O7 pyrochlores. In both pyrochlores, the Ed surface is highly anisotropic and it requires less energy to displace anions than cations. Both anion and cation Ed values are h…

We report an enhancement effect of ultraviolet illumination on the photoluminescence intensities of zinc oxide thin films. Large-grain ⟨0001⟩-textured zinc oxide thin films were deposited on amorphous-fused silica substrates using pulsed laser deposition. We found that the intensities of excitonic emission and green-b…
