Investigations on growth and characterization of pure and nb Doped 0 58pb ferroelectric single crystals

Abstract

The advanced technologies in the electronic industry will be driven newlineby new electronic materials and new physical phenomena Such materials will newlineplay an important role in the development of new generation of devices for newlinethe realization of a larger number of fascinating and practical applications newlineBased on the phenomena the electronic materials can be classified as newlineFerroelectric superconducting magenetic and semi conducting non linear newlineoptic etc Within each phenomenon there are classes of materials possessing newlinemany unique physical chemical and mechanical properties that lead to a newlinevariety of novel devices The preparation of such single crystals and the newlineunderstanding of the fundamental properties and their incorporation into the newlinedevelopmental activities are gaining ever increasing importance In this way newlinethe growth of single crystals of ferroelectrics and photorefractives will newlineelucidate the basic mechanism responsible for their non linear physical newlineproperties and their applicability in modern devices newline newline
