ABSTRACTWe present the results of our systematic investigation of the RE dependency of superconductivity in the parent compounds T’-RE2CuO4 (RE = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, and Tb). Superconducting samples were prepared by metal organic decomposition (MOD). A stringent control of synthesis- and post-annealing-conditions is required to obtain superconducting samples. Superconductivity with a transition temperature (Tconset) ≥ 30 K is achieved for RE = Pr and Nd. By contrast, Tconset is at highest 20 K for RE = Gd. Our results indicate that the induction of superconductivity into T’-RE2CuO4 cuprates strongly depends on the RE3+ ionic size. This trend is discussed from the viewpoint of RE-dependent thermodynamic stability of T’-RE2CuO4. For smaller RE3+ ions, the thermodynamic boundary conditions become tighter.

AbstractThe (Pb1−xLax)TiO3, (PLT) thin films possessing good ferroelectric properties were successfully obtained by using metal-organic-decomposition (MOD) process, followed by furnace post-annealing at 600-700°C (60 min) or rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 600-700°C (60 s). Excess Pb-species incorporated in precursors for compensating for the Pb-loss during MOD process results in pronounced modification on thin film's electrical properties. The leakage current is reduced from JL= 1 × 10−3 A/cm2 to 1 × 10−4 A/cm2 (at 400 kV/cm) and the remanent polarization is increased from Pr= 8.3 µ C/cm2 to 12.6 µC/cm2, when 10 mol% excess-Pb is added. On the other hand, larger La-content in PLT films results in more pronounced Pb-loss and induces larger leakage current, which significantly degrades the ferroelectric properties of the films. The best properties obtained for PLT films prepared by the MOD process are: Pr= 12.6 µC/cm2, Ec = 80 kV/cm and JL= 10−5 A/cm2 (at 400 kV/cm).

AbstractThe electrical reliability properties of PZT (54/46) thin films have been measured for the purpose of integrating this material with silicon-based microelectromechanical systems. Ferroelectric thin films of PZT were prepared by metal organic decomposition. The charge trapping and degradation properties of these thin films were studied through device characteristics such as hysteresis loop, leakage current, fatigue, dielectric constant, capacitancevoltage, and loss factor measurements. Several unique experimental results have been found. Different degradation processes were verified through fatigue (bipolar stress), low and high charge injection (unipolar stress), and high field stressing (unipolar stress).

I propose a model of a material that exhibits negative thermal expansion (NTE) properties and criteria for the occurrence of linear and volumetric NTE. I derived the criteria for an arbitrary force between rigid units in the material. These criteria are also discussed specifically for the Lennard–Jones (6–12) potential and in more detail for metal–organic framework (MOF) materials comprising rigid units connected by organic linkers. Qualitatively, the model predictions can explain some observed results. Surprisingly, the model can produce equations for the transition temperature from NTE to positive thermal expansion (PTE), [Formula: see text] K, which is exactly the same as the temperature at which the glass transition begins to occur in most polymers, i.e., [Formula: see text] K.

AbstractBuckling and vibration study of the shape memory polymer composites (SMPC) across the glass transition temperature under heterogeneous loading conditions are presented. Finite element analysis based on C° continuity equation through the higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is employed considering non linear Von Karman approach to estimate critical buckling and vibration for the temperature span from 273 to 373 K. Extensive numerical investigations are presented to understand the effect of temperature, boundary conditions, aspect ratio, fiber orientations, laminate stacking and modes of phenomenon on the buckling and vibration behavior of SMPC beam along with the validation and convergence study. Effect of thermal conditions, particularly in the glass transition region of the shape memory polymer, is considerable and presents cohesive relation between dynamic modulus properties with magnitude of critical buckling and vibration. Moreover, it has also been inferred that type of axial loading condition along with the corresponding boundary conditions significantly affect the buckling and vibration load across the glass transition region.
