AbstractModified BaTiO3 ceramics are candidate materials for infrared sensors in nightvision equipment. Measurements of dielectric constants, dielectric losses, pyroelectric coefficient, and heat capacities as functions of temperature and frequency are performed. Crystallographic and grain size data are also presented. It is shown that additions of these impurities to BaTiO3 alters the temperature of phase transformations and, with it, dielectric and pyroelectric properties. The results of these measurements were compared with those of PZT and PbTiO3 ceramics, which are currently the favoredmaterials for uncooled detector arrays, as well as PbTiO3 and PZT thin films. It is concluded that these oxide ceramics offer the combination of preparative ease of property modification and show good performance at low impurity concentrations.

AbstractThe grain size of MOCVD-Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films was successfully controlled by changing the grain size of Ir bottom electrodes and by changing the growth rate of PZT films. In Ir/PZT/Ir/SiO2/Si capacitors, the grain size of PZT thin films increased from 120 to 240nm as the grain size of bottom Ir electrodes increased from 50 to 200nm. The dielectric constants of PZT thin films increased from 760 to 1440 as the grain size increased from 120 to 240nm. Remanent polarization increased and coercive field decreased as the grain size increased. This dependence of electrical properties on the grain size coincided with that of ceramics.

Grain refinement is a critical technology for the successful production of cast parts; whether that be preforms such as extrusion billet or rolling slab, or near net-shape castings. A refined microstructure has many advantages with reduced defects and improved mechanical properties. This article describes the approaches to the prediction of grain size in Al-alloys refined by Al-Ti-B master alloys. Included are empirical approaches based on the generation and analysis of grain size data, the development of analytical equations, and the use of finite element approaches to the prediction of grain sizes. It is clear that researchers have a good ability to predict grain size of Al-alloys grain refined by Al-Ti-B master alloys, although there are still some outstanding challenges, particularly in considering more extreme solidification conditions and poisoning of the master alloys.

ABSTRACTHighly textured PbZrxTi1−xO3 (PZT) thin films with x= 0-0.6 were grown on LaNiO3 coated Si substrates at 600 °C by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The preferred crystalline orientation of PZT thin films with various Zr concentration were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Microstructures were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dielectric constants, hysteresis and fatigue behavior of these thin films were also measured. The relationship between growth rate and the preferential orientation is discussed. Furthermore, the dependence of the electrical properties on Zr concentration and preferential orientation is demonstrated.

Grain size is one of the most important records for sedimentary environment, and researchers have made remarkable progress in the interpretation of sedimentary environments by grain size analysis in the past few decades. However, these advances often depend on the personal experience of the scholars and combination with other methods used together. Here, we constructed a prediction model using the K-nearest neighbors algorithm, one of the machine learning methods, which can predict the sedimentary environments of one core through a known core. Compared to the results of other studies based on the comprehensive data set of grain size and four other indicators, this model achieved a high precision value only using the grain size data. We have also compared our prediction model with other mainstream machine learning algorithms, and the experimental results of six evaluation metrics shed light on that this prediction model can achieve the higher precision. The main errors of the model reflect the length of the conversation area of sedimentary environment, which is controlled by the sedimentary dynamics. This model can provide a quick comparison method of the cores in a similar environment; thus, it may point out the preliminary guidance for further study.
