Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:42.15(Physics, Applied)We have investigated the physical properties of LuFeCuO, which is a derivative material of the electronic ferroelectric LuFeO. From electron diffraction measurements at room temperature, ionic ordering of Fe and Cu in the a-b plane was observed. This ordering is similar to that in LuFeO and has an electric dipole. The observation of small domains (5-10 nm) indicates the presence of polar regions. Dielectric measurements showed that a peak of dielectric constant appeared at around 500 K, and the peak value was about 1000, indicating that LuFeCuO is a dielectric material. We will present the experimental data on the samples prepared under high-pressure oxygen.

Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:33.28(Physics, Applied)We have investigated the physical properties of HoFeO and RR'FeO (R, R': rare earths). Dielectric measurements showed their dielectric constants of 1000 at around room temperature, which is characteristic of the RFeO series (R: rare earths). However, the magnetic transition temperatures and the coherency in dielectric response were found to be different from those of RFeO reported so far. Interestingly, these materials suggested higher ferroelectric temperatures than those reported so far, suggesting a possibility of application of these materials.

Times Cited Count:12 Percentile:44.62(Physics, Applied)We have investigated the electronic ferroelectric material YFeOby means of electron transmission microscopy. The measurement at room temperature showed the charge-ordered structure of Fe ions in the a-b plane, which is the origin of ferroelectricity. An enlargement of unit cell along the c-axis was also observed. These phenomena were not observed at high temperatures around 600 K. That is, the charge ordering in the a-b plane appeared below about 500 K, whreas the enlargement of unit cell along the c-axis was found at room temperature. Below 100 K, an additional enlargement of unit cell along [119] was observed. This behavior is characteristic of YFeO. These results are discussed in connection with the dielectric properties.

Times Cited Count:24 Percentile:64.31(Physics, Applied)Local structure analysis of (1-)BiFeO-BaTiO mixture was carried out by synchrotron radiation X-ray pair-distribution function (PDF) method. The PDF peak is resolved as a doublet due to the presence of two distinct bond length, Bi-O and Ba-O. Cubic perovskite lattice of (1-)BiFeO-BaTiO solid solution distorts locally to accomodate the distinct Bi-O and Ba-O bond lengths.
