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.

The Barium titanate (BaTiO3, BT) [110] grain-oriented ceramics along [110] direction were prepared by a templated grain growth (TGG) method. The [110] oriented BT platelike particles (t-BT) were used as template particles. The relationship between poling treatment program and piezoelectric constant was investigated. The change in the poling conditions did not greatly influence domain size and the piezoelectric constant. The relationship between piezoelectric properties and domain size in BT grain-oriented ceramics was investigated. The smaller domain size was required to increase the piezoelectric constant.

Abstract Probabilistic logic programming is a major part of statistical relational artificial intelligence, where approaches from logic and probability are brought together to reason about and learn from relational domains in a setting of uncertainty. However, the behaviour of statistical relational representations across variable domain sizes is complex, and scaling inference and learning to large domains remains a significant challenge. In recent years, connections have emerged between domain size dependence, lifted inference and learning from sampled subpopulations. The asymptotic behaviour of statistical relational representations has come under scrutiny, and projectivity was investigated as the strongest form of domain size dependence, in which query marginals are completely independent of the domain size. In this contribution we show that every probabilistic logic program under the distribution semantics is asymptotically equivalent to an acyclic probabilistic logic program consisting only of determinate clauses over probabilistic facts. We conclude that every probabilistic logic program inducing a projective family of distributions is in fact everywhere equivalent to a program from this fragment, and we investigate the consequences for the projective families of distributions expressible by probabilistic logic programs.
