Based on a generalized form of the second law of thermodynamics, in which the temperature-dependent energy levels of a system are appropriately included in entropy generation, we show that the effect reasonably appears in efficiencies of thermodynamic processes.

Abstract Lifetime measurements down to nearly liquid helium temperatures are used for determining energy levels and transition rates between excited levels and relaxations into the ground state. Energies are obtained from temperature dependent lifetimes by fitting experimental curves to model functions pertinent for thermally activated processes. Rates are calculated from solutions of rate equations. Similar parameters for pure and doped Pt(IV) hexahalogeno complexes indicate that excited levels largely belong to molecular units. Some of the rates between excited states are only somewhat larger than decay rates into the ground state, which is a consequence of the polyexponential decay measured also at low temperature (2 K). In the series of halogen complexes, the rates between spinorbit levels resulting from 3T1g increase from fluorine to bromine, although energy splittings become larger. Due to the decreasing population of higher excited states in this series, K^PtFö shows a tri-exponential, K2PtCl6 a bi-exponential and FoPtBr6 a mono-exponential decay. In the latter case the population density of higher excited states relaxes so fast that emission occurs primarily from the lowest excited Γ3(3T1g) level. Phase transitions and emission from chromophores on different sites can also be observed.

Cathodoluminescence Study

Electron-beam-induced current (EBIC) and cathodoluminescence (CL) have been applied to investigate the electrical and optical behaviors of dislocations in SrTiO3. The electrical recombination activity and defect energy levels of dislocations have been deduced from the temperature-dependent EBIC measurement. Dislocations contributed to resistive switching were clarified by bias-dependent EBIC. The distribution of oxygen vacancies around dislocations has been obtained by CL mapping. The correlation between switching, dislocation and oxygen vacancies was discussed.

Electrical Polarization

AbstractThe polarization suppression and electrical properties directly associated with the electrical polarization fatigue in SrBi2Ta2O9system were systematically investigated using Pt/SBT/Pt capacitors. Three general observations were made after 109 switching cycles: (i) ∼95% of the remanent polarization was conserved, (ii) both high and zero bias field capacitance decreased, and (iii) leakage current density increased from approximately 10−7 to 10−5 A/cm2at ∼30kV/cm2. In addition, the “knee” field, at which the leakage abruptly increases, assumed smaller values with cumulative switching cycles. Temperature dependent leakage data was collected for both as-deposited and field-cycled samples. Based on these results, we propose the possibilities of enhanced concentration of charge carriers or additional reductions in interfacial conduction barriers. Motion of oxygen vacancies to less-shallow energy levels near electrode/ferroelectric interface may allow this mechanism to occur.

Temperature Dependent Photoluminescence

The temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) properties of an anti-perovskite [MnBr4]BrCs3 sample in the temperature range of 78–500 K are studied in the present work. This material exhibits unique performance which is different from a typical perovskite. Experiments showed that from room temperature to 78 K, the luminous intensity increased as the temperature decreased. From room temperature to 500 K, the photoluminescence intensity gradually decreased with increasing temperature. Experiments with varying temperatures repeatedly showed that the emission wavelength was very stable. Based on the above-mentioned phenomenon of the changing photoluminescence under different temperatures, the mechanism is deduced from the temperature-dependent characteristics of excitons, and the experimental results are explained on the basis of the types of excitons with different energy levels and different recombination rates involved in the steady-state PL process. The results show that in the measured temperature range of 78–500 K, the steady-state PL of [MnBr4]BrCs3 had three excitons with different energy levels and recombination rates participating. The involved excitons with the highest energy level not only had a high radiative recombination rate, but a high non-radiative recombination rate as well. The excitons at the second-highest energy level had a similar radiative recombination rate to the lowest energy level excitons and a had high non-radiative recombination rate. These excitons made the photoluminescence gradually decrease with increasing temperature. This may be the reason for this material’s high photoluminescence efficiency and low electroluminescence efficiency.
