Impact of dipolar clusters on electro-optic effects in KTa1- xNbxO3 crystal
Abstract:
Dipolar clusters are crucial structure factors in electro-optic (EO) effects. Here, the impacts of dipolar clusters on EO effects are investigated in KTa1-xNbxO3 using electric-field-dependent EO characteristics. The results indicate that the field-driven reorientation of dipolar clusters determines the orientational electric susceptibility, deeply contributing to the excellent quadratic EO effects. The controlled average size of correlated local dipoles and uniform orientation of ferroelectric domains efficiently suppress light scattering, being beneficial for the modulation of incident light. The understanding of dipolar cluster-triggered EO responses is valuable for exploring origins of large EO effects and optimizing EO properties of materials.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
