SrTiO3单晶的应变梯度诱导极化

Strain gradient induced polarization in SrTiO3 single crystals

摘要:

压电性仅在非中心对称材料中是固有的,但如果受到不均匀变形,也可以在中心对称晶体中获得压电响应。这种现象被称为挠曲电,影响绝缘体的功能特性,特别是高介电常数材料的薄膜。我们测量了顺电SrTiO $_3$单晶中的应变梯度诱导极化作为温度和取向的函数,并低于105 K的相变。估计得到的挠曲电张量的所有组件,并基于这些计算表明,在SrTiO $_3$中的缺陷周围的局部极化可能超过最大的铁电极化。在相变下方检测到的挠曲电响应的符号反转表明SrTiO $_3$的铁弹畴壁可能是极性的。

英文摘要:

Piezoelectricity is inherent only in noncentrosymmetric materials, but a piezoelectric response can also be obtained in centrosymmetric crystals if subjected to inhomogeneous deformation. This phenomenon, known as flexoelectricity, affects the functional properties of insulators, particularly thin films of high permittivity materials. We have measured strain-gradient-induced polarization in single crystals of paraelectric SrTiO$_3$ as a function of temperature and orientation down to and below the 105 K phase transition. Estimates were obtained for all the components of the flexoelectric tensor, and calculations based on these indicate that local polarization around defects in SrTiO$_3$ may exceed the largest ferroelectric polarizations. A sign reversal of the flexoelectric response detected below the phase transition suggests that the ferroelastic domain walls of SrTiO$_3$ may be polar.
