Double Crystal Diffractometer

The investigations of the domain structure in Ni single crystals is best performed with a double-crystal diffractometer. Conventional small-angle instruments do not have the necessary angular resolution to distinguish satellites of a main peak due to spin-dependent refraction of unpolarized neutrons by Bloch walls in Ni. With the help of a double-crystal diffractometer operating with lamellae crystals as monochromator and analyzer, the angular resolution is maintained but the intensity enhanced by a factor of 5.4. Within a series of measurements, it was possible to investigate Ni domains due to the high angular resolution of the new multi-double-crystal instrument and this improved intensity. The first results of the domain structure in (110) Ni single crystals and a good estimation of the Bloch wall thickness are given.

ABSTRACTFor tetragonal barium titanate (BaTiO3) single crystals, an electric field (E-field) applied along [111]c direction can induce an engineered domain configuration. In this study, the engineered domain structures with different domain sizes were induced into BaTiO3 single crystals, and their piezoelectric properties were investigated as a function of a domain size. Prior to this study, the dependence of domain configuration on the temperature and the E-field was investigated using a polarizing microscope in order to understand the optimum condition for fine and coarse domain structures. As a result, above Curie temperature (Tc) of 132.2 °C, when the E-field over 6 kV/cm was applied along [111]c direction, the engineered domain configuration with fine domain structure appeared. Moreover, it was also found that this fine domain structure was still stable at room temperature without E-field. On the other hand, the coarse domain structure was obtained by poling at just below Tc. Finally, the piezoelectric properties were measured using the 31 resonators with different kinds of domain sizes. As the result, it was found that the piezoelectric properties such as d31 and k31 increased significantly with decreasing domain sizes.

Flow can transfer the microphase separated morphology of block copolymers into a state of global order. For tri-block copolymers with cylindrical domains, this has been demonstrated by Folkes et al. (1973) and Hadziioannou et al. (1979). who established the existence of ‘single crystals’ of hexagonally ordered cylinders with uniform director throughout a sheared sample. The director is aligned with the shear direction. In this study, we investigate the flow induced ordering of cylindrical domain structure at increasing levels of shear.
