In recent years, the ferroelectric properties of aurivillius oxides have attracted interest and an extensive amount of work has been done toward the realization of their potential application in nonvolatile memories (FeRAM: ferroelectric random access memory). Recently, we have carried out computer simulation in atomic scale in order to predict the energies associated with the accommodation of aliovalent and isovalent dopants (Pb2+, Al3+, Ga3+, In3+, Ta5+) in the aurivillius structure of BaBi4Ti4O15. In this work, the predicted stable phases were synthesized using solid state reactions and their products then were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction method. The cell parameters were determined using Rietveld refinement in orthorhombic system with space group of A21am. Results from the ferroelectric properties measurement of BaBi4Ti4O15 were also presented. The cell parameters for BaBi4Ti4O15 doped with Pb2+, Al3+, Ga3+,In3+, Ta5+ were a = 5.47116(4) b = 5.45636(5) c = 41.8649(3) Å; a = 5.47104(4) b = 5.45634(4) c = 41.8640(3) Å; a = 5.47112(4) b = 5.45648(4) c = 41.8643(3) Å; a = 5.47111(4) b = 5.45645(5) c = 41.8649(3) Å; and a = 5.47134(4) b = 5.45588(4) c = 41.8639(5) Å. The ferroelectric properties measurement for BaBi4Ti4O15 doped with Pb2+, Al3+, Ga3+,In3+, Ta5+ showed that the Pr = 15.225 mC/cm2, Ec = 33.96 kV/cm; Pr = 15.925 mC/cm2, Ec = 35.724 kV/cm; Pr = 16.625 mC/cm2, Ec = 36.504 kV/cm; Pr = 15.57 mC/cm2, Ec = 32.925 kV/cm; Pr = 17.2827 mC/cm2, Ec = 37.44 kV/cm.   Keywords: Aurivillius phase; Rietveld refinement; Ferroelectric properties; BaBi4Ti4O15

Microstructure of epitaxial ferroelectric/conductive oxide heterostructures on LaAIO3(LAO) and Si substrates have been studied by conventional and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The epitaxial films have a wide range of potential applications in areas such as non-volatile memory devices, electro-optic devices and pyroelectric detectors. For applications such as electro-optic devices the films must be single crystal and for applications such as nonvolatile memory devices and pyroelectric devices single crystal films will enhance the performance of the devices. The ferroelectric films studied are Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3(PLZT), PbTiO3(PT), BiTiO3(BT) and Pb0.9La0.1(Zr0.2Ti0.8)0.975O3(PLZT).Electrical contact to ferroelectric films is commonly made with metals such as Pt. Metals generally have a large difference in work function compared to the work function of the ferroelectric oxides. This results in a Schottky barrier at the interface and the interfacial space charge is believed to responsible for domain pinning and degradation in the ferroelectric properties resulting in phenomenon such as fatigue.

Wound healing is a complex process and an ongoing challenge for modern medicine. Herein, we present the results of study of structure and properties of ferroelectric composite polymer membranes for wound healing. Membranes were fabricated by electrospinning from a solution of vinylidene fluoride/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (VDF–TeFE) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in dimethylformamide (DMF). The effects of the PVP content on the viscosity and conductivity of the spinning solution, DMF concentration, chemical composition, crystal structure, and conformation of VDF–TeFE macromolecules in the fabricated materials were studied. It was found that as PVP amount increased, the viscosity and conductivity of the spinning solutions decreased, resulting in thinner fibers. Using FTIR and XRD methods, it was shown that if the PVP content was lower than 50 wt %, the VDF–TeFE copolymer adopted a flat zigzag conformation (TTT conformation) and crystalline phases with ferroelectric properties were formed. Gas chromatography results indicated that an increase in the PVP concentration led to a higher residual amount of DMF in the material, causing cytotoxic effects on 3T3L1 fibroblasts. In vivo studies demonstrated that compared to classical gauze dressings impregnated with a solution of an antibacterial agent, ferroelectric composite membranes with 15 wt % PVP provided better conditions for the healing of purulent wounds.
