Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor01:31

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor

6.1K
The presence of a dielectric medium in a capacitor not only changes the voltage and capacitance but also affects the electric field. In general, dielectrics can be of two types: polar and nonpolar. In a polar dielectric, the positive and negative charges in the molecules are separated by a distance and hence have a permanent dipole moment. In contrast, no such charge separation exists in a nonpolar dielectric, however the nonpolar molecules get polarized in the presence of an external electric...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Ferroelectric Materials

Background:

  • Ferroelectric polymers exhibit spontaneous electric polarization.
  • Developing efficient poling methods is essential for harnessing their properties.
  • Thiourea groups offer strong hydrogen bonding, influencing material behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new poling method for ferroelectric polythioureas.
  • To utilize cooperativity and hydrogen bonding of thiourea groups.
  • To achieve remanent polarization in polythiourea films.

Main Methods:

  • A novel "surface energy poling" technique was employed.
  • Polythiourea films were sandwiched between materials with differing surface energies (metal and polytetrafluoroethylene).
  • Films were heated above the glass transition temperature (Tg) and slowly cooled.

Main Results:

  • The surface energy poling method successfully induced remanent polarization.
  • The resulting polythiourea film exhibited a pyroelectric constant of 10 μm²/K.
  • Evidence of remanent polarization was confirmed.

Conclusions:

  • Surface energy poling is an effective method for creating ferroelectric polythioureas.
  • This technique offers a new pathway for material poling, analogous to liquid crystal orientation.
  • The strong hydrogen bonding in polythioureas facilitates this poling process.
