Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor01:31

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor

6.3K
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...

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity

665
Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Physics
  • Ceramic Engineering

Background:

  • The Internet of Things (IoT) drives demand for high-performance piezoelectric sensors.
  • Single-phase oxide piezoelectric materials are critical for sensing in harsh environments.
  • Key properties include a high piezoelectric voltage coefficient (g) and Curie temperature (Tc).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a modified lead titanate (PbTiO3) ceramic with enhanced piezoelectric properties.
  • To investigate the role of grain orientation in achieving superior piezoelectric performance.
  • To explore the potential of this material for advanced sensing applications.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a grain-oriented (95% <001> texture) modified PbTiO3 ceramic.
  • Characterization of its Curie temperature (Tc) and piezoelectric voltage coefficient (g33).
  • Phase field simulations to understand the origin of the large piezoelectric response.

Main Results:

  • The developed ceramic exhibits a high Tc of 364°C.
  • An extremely large piezoelectric voltage coefficient g33 of 115 × 10^-3 Vm N^-1 was achieved.
  • Self-polarization due to grain orientation was identified as crucial for the large piezoelectric response.

Conclusions:

  • Grain-oriented PbTiO3 ceramics offer significant advantages for piezoelectric sensing.
  • The observed large g33 is attributed to maximized d33 and minimized ɛ33 in [001]-textured ceramics.
  • This material shows great promise for IoT sensing applications, especially under harsh conditions.
