Through three different studies using various kinds of BaTiO/sub 3/ samples: as a powder while heating over the Curie temperature; as a green ceramic as a function of the forming pressure; as a ceramic while applying a D.C. field. It is shown how X-ray diffraction is able to give information about the evolution of the 90/spl deg/ ferroelectric domain microstructure.

Modified lead titanate ceramics were prepared using mixed oxide route. A fixed amount of (1 mol%) iron (Fe) was added to get highly dense ceramics. Addition of 1 mol% tungsten (W) greatly enhanced the grain size. Lanthanum (La) concentration was changed from 2 to 25 mol%, keeping the concentration of Fe and W fixed at 1 mol%. The Curie temperature and tetragonality decreased with increasing La content. The dielectric constant showed a systematic increase with increasing La content. The piezoelectric coefficient were determined and it was found that the thickness coupling coefficient (k/sub t/) showed a marked increase with increasing La content reaching a peak value of 0.60 around 15 mol% while planar coupling coefficient (k/sub p/) was found to be almost independent of composition and having a value around 0.1. The hydrostatic figure of merit of about 1400 was achieved for 15 mol% of La which is one of the highest reported values even for hot pressed ceramics.

Reaction sequence of perovskite-phase formation crystallographic properties in the PFW-PFN system are reported. Investigation is focused on the formation of perovskite phase by a "B-site precursor method." B-site precursors were formed directly from the constituent oxides or through a competition with a pyrochlore-related phase, while perovskite phases were developed through a competition with pyrochlores. Lattice parameters of PFW and PFN were 3.985 and 4.016 /spl Aring/, respectively.

This paper will present an initial evaluation of the lead zirconate-lead zinc niobate solid solution for use in nonvolatile ferroelectric memory devices. Previous work has shown that the (x)/spl middot/PbZrO/sub 3/-(1-x)/spl middot/Pb(Zn/sub 1/3/Nb/sub 2/3/)O/sub 3/ [PZZN] system has "square" hysteresis loops accompanied by large remnant polarizations. In particular, compositions near the room temperature antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase boundary will be investigated.

Phase T,x-diagram of the Pb/sub 1-x/Ca/sub x/TiO/sub 3/ (0/spl les/x/spl les/0.62) solid solution system has been constructed in the range from room temperature to 770 K using data of single crystal optical studies and X-ray microanalysis.

The dependence of the speckle-field in Ba/sub 2/NaNb/sub 5/O/sub 15/ crystals in laser beam on the orientation of the crystals, temperature and direction of growing was investigated. The different pattern of scattering along the a and c axis make it possible to unambiguously determine the direction of the ferroelectric axis in the crystal, while abrupt change in the nature of scattering with a ferroelectric phase transition makes it possible to determine the Curie point.

Strontium barium niobate (SBN) is a ferroelectric solid solution with tetragonal tungsten bronze structure. SBN exhibits excellent pyroelectric and electro-optic properties. Solid solutions of (Sr/sub x/Ba/sub 1-x/)/sub 0.8/ Na/sub 0.4/R/sub y/Nb/sub 2/O/sub 6/ where R/sub y/=Y, Zn, Mg, Fe, have been prepared by the conventional ceramic technique. The microstructures were studied with the aid of a scanning electron microscope on fractured surfaces of ceramic compositions and the average grain diameter was measured by the linear intercept method. The results are discussed in relation to the grain sizes.

Several kinds of dopants (alanine, LiVO/sub 3/ and valine) doped TGS were grown from solution by slow cooling method. Temperature dependence dielectric spectra were measured to study the variation of transition temperature, K/sub max/ and room temperature dielectric constant depending on the dopants. Furthermore, several pieces were selected to investigate the positional inhomogeneities of the same sample. D-E hysteresis loop measurements were done to check for the internal bias field (E/sub b/). We could not get a high figure of merit (p/K) in valine doped TGS because of low temperature relaxation around -10/spl deg/C, although it has three times higher pyroelectric coefficient than that of alanine at transition temperature (T/sub C/).

Thin films of barium strontium titanate, Ba/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/TiO/sub 3/, were deposited on Si and ITO/glass substrates with 200/spl sim/300 nm thickness by sol-gel method. The precursor solution of BST was prepared by mixing the 0.2 M precursor solutions of BaTiO/sub 3/ and SrTiO/sub 3/ with proper molar ratio. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show characteristic peaks with weak and broad features indicating that the polycrystalline BST film has poor crystallinity. The grain size and the surface morphology of the films were investigated by atomic force microscope (AFM). Especially, dependence of the film structures on the treatments of precursor solution such as hydrolysis and modification with acetic acid was investigated. The I-V (current-voltage) characteristics of the films was also dependent on the precursor structure. The C-V (capacitance-voltage) behavior of the films with MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) and MIM (metal-insulator-metal) structures were studied. Also, dielectric permittivity which was very strongly dependent on the crystallinity of the films was discussed in conjunction with precursor structures.
