Study Of Static And Dynamical Properties Of Complex Antiferroelectrics Materials, Kinnary Yogeshbhai Patel
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The aim of this dissertation is the investigation of the static and dynamical properties of the complex antiferroelectric materials using Effective Hamiltonian method and First principles calculations. In chapter 3, a novel elemental interatomic coupling in perovskite materials which bilinearly couples the antiferroelectric displacements of cations with the rotations of the oxygen octahedra. This new coupling explains a very complex crystal structure of prototypical antiferroelectric PbZrO3. My explanation provides a unified description of many other complex antipolar crystal structures in variety of perovskite materials, including the occurrence of incommensurate phases in some of them. In chapter 4, results and analysis …

Static And Dynamical Properties Of Multiferroics, Sayed Omid Sayedaghaee
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Since the silicon industrial revolution in the 1950s, a lot of effort was dedicated to the research and development activities focused on material and solid-state sciences. As a result, several cutting-edge technologies are emerging including the applications of functional materials in the design and enhancement of novel devices such as sensors, highly capable data storage media, actuators, transducers, and several other types of electronic tools. In the last two decades, a class of functional materials known as multiferroics has captured significant attention because of providing a huge potential for new designs due to possessing multiple ferroic order parameters at the …
