High-resolution Brillouin scattering technique was applied to study the dynamics of central peaks (CPs) in two relaxor ferroelectric systems, PLZT-x/65/35 ceramics and PMN-33%PT [001] single crystals, respectively. It was found that CPs appear very close to an intermediate temperature, Td, for both type of specimens. The temperature dependence of CPs was attributed to the appearance and subsequent growth of polar nanoregions (PNRs) intrinsic to relaxor materials.

Aim: To study the temperature stability of TGS doped with ZnSO4, CdCl2, BaCl2, and compare it with that of pure TGS. Objectives: Synthesizing pure and doped TGS and studying their temperature dependence using TGA, DTA, and DSC analysis. Methods: Slow cooling solution growth was used to grow single crystals of pure and doped TGS. The TGA, DTA and DSC analysis was conducted for determining the temperature stability. Results: The thermal analysis of pure and doped TGS shows that the doped samples show a similar dependence on temperature as pure TGS. The temperature of decomposition of pure and doped samples (BTGS, ZTGS, CdTGS) was 226.60°C, 228.38°C, 229.13°C, and 239.13°C respectively. The melting onset of these samples was 214.51°C, 216.04°C, 217.69°C and 216.04°C respectively. Conclusion: The study shows that doping TGS with the above three described materials did not alter their temperature stability considerably. It is a good result as doping TGS, for varying its characteristics like absorbance, reflectance, bandgap energy, etc., which did not alter its temperature stability. Therefore, TGS doped with the above three dopants can be used at the same temperature ranges as of pure TGS but with much-improved efficiency.

The goal of this paper is to review current methods of energy harvesting, while focusing on piezoelectric energy harvesting. The piezoelectric energy harvesting technique is based on the materials’ property of generating an electric field when a mechanical force is applied. This phenomenon is known as the direct piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric transducers can be of different shapes and materials, making them suitable for a multitude of applications. To optimize the use of piezoelectric devices in applications, a model is needed to observe the behavior in the time and frequency domain. In addition to different aspects of piezoelectric modeling, this paper also presents several circuits used to maximize the energy harvested.

Single crystals of the perovskite solid solution (1 − x)Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3–xPbTiO3, with x = 0, 0.07, 0.27, and 0.75, have been synthesized by the high-temperature solution growth using PbO as flux and characterized by x-ray diffraction and dielectric and magnetic measurements. The crystal structure at room temperature changes from a pseudocubic to a tetragonal phase with the PbTiO3 (PT) content increasing to x ⩾ 0.27. As the amount of PT increases, the relaxor ferroelectric behavior of Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3 (PFW) is transformed toward a normal ferroelectric state with sharp and nondispersive peaks of dielectric permittivity at TC. Two types of magnetic orderings are observed on the temperature dependence of the magnetization in the crystals with x ⩽ 0.27. This behavior is explained based on the relationships among the magnetic ordering, perovskite structure, composition, and relaxor ferroelectric properties. Furthermore, the macroscopic magnetization of the system was measured under the application of a magnetic field, which demonstrates different magnetic behavior associated with the weakly ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and paramagnetic ordering in the temperature range of 2 to 390 K. Interestingly, the low-temperature ferromagnetism is enhanced by the addition of ferroelectric PT up to x = 0.27.

The c-axis tunneling properties of both pristine Bi2212 and its HgBr 2 intercalate have been measured in the temperature range 4.2-250 K. Lithographically patterned 7-10 unit-cell heigh mesa structures on the surfaces of these single crystals were investigated. Clear SIS-like tunneling curves for current applied in the c-axis direction have been observed. The dynamic conductance d I/ d V(V) shows both sharp peaks corresponding to a superconducting gap edge and a dip feature beyond the gap, followed by a wide maximum, which persists up to a room temperature. Shape of the temperature dependence of the c-axis resistance does not change after the intercalation suggesting that a coupling between CuO 2-bilayers has little effect on the pseudogap.
