摘要:

简单钙钛矿晶体在冷却至低温时会发生结构相变,这会显著改变晶体的材料特性。在本研究中,我们对经历相变的钙钛矿晶体的介电常数随温度的演化进行了严格表征。具体而言,我们通过同时测量多个微波横电谐振模和横磁谐振模的频率,对钛酸锶(Strontium Titanate)单晶在294.6 K至5.6 K的温度区间开展了精密测量。本研究采用的谐振频率多模微波测量技术,可在晶体发生结构相变时高精度测定介电常数的任何诱发各向异性。与此前的研究结果相比,我们明确证实室温下该晶体的介电常数为各向同性,数值为$316.3\boldsymbol{\u00b1}2.2$,这与其众所周知的立方结构相符;同时我们确定了晶体被冷却至更低温度时介电各向异性的起始点。研究表明,当温度低于105 K时,晶体结构变为四方相,介电常数呈现单轴各向异性;当温度低于51 K时,晶体结构变为正交相,介电常数呈现双轴各向异性。

英文摘要:

Simple perovskite crystals undergo structural phase transitions on cooling to low temperatures, which significantly change the material properties of the crystal. In this work we rigorously characterize the temperature evolution of permittivity of a perovskite crystal as it undergoes phase transitions. In particular, we have undertaken precision measurements of a single crystal of Strontium Titanate from 294.6 K to 5.6 K, by measuring the frequency of multiple microwave transverse electric and magnetic resonant modes simultaneously. The multi-mode microwave measurement technique of resonant frequency used in this work allows high precision determination of any induced anisotropy of the permittivity as the crystal undergoes structural phase transitions. Compared with previous results we unequivocally show that the permittivity has an isotropic value of $316.3\pm2.2$ at room temperature, consistent with its well-known cubic structure, and determine the onset of dielectric anisotropy as the crystal is cooled to lower temperatures. We show that the crystal exhibits uniaxial anisotropy in the permittivity below 105 K when the structure becomes tetragonal, and exhibits biaxial anisotropy in the permittivity below 51 K when the structure becomes orthorhombic.
