RESUMEN
Lanthanum modified lead zirconate titanate (abbreviated as PLZT) Electro-Optical ceramics with various Bi concentration were prepared by a hot-press process. The PLZT ceramic samples all present a single perovskite structure with no second phase detected. Bi3+ ion was considered to mainly enter the A-site of perovskite ABO3 structure of PLZT ceramics by the X-Ray Diffractionanalysis. The maximum permittivity (εm) of the PLZT samples decreased obviously as Bi concentration increased, while their remnant polarization (Pr) decreased slightly. In particular, the PLZT sample with 0.14 wt% Bi doping presented a higher optical transmittance 61.8% (λ = 633 nm), and its electric-induced light scattering performance was found to be improved obviously, the maximum light deduction value of ~47.6% was obtained.
RESUMEN
Converting light energy to electrical energy in photovoltaic devices relies on the photogenerated electrons and holes separated by the built-in potential in semiconductors. Photo-excited electrons in metal electrodes are usually not considered in this process. Here, we report an enhanced photovoltaic effect in the ferroelectric lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) by using low work function metals as the electrodes. We believe that electrons in the metal with low work function could be photo-emitted into PLZT and form the dominant photocurrent in our devices. Under AM1.5 (100â mW/cm²) illumination, the short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage of Mg/PLZT/ITO are about 150 and 2 times of those of Pt/PLZT/ITO, respectively. The photovoltaic response of PLZT capacitor was expanded from ultraviolet to visible spectra, and it may have important impact on design and fabrication of high performance photovoltaic devices based on ferroelectric materials.
RESUMEN
The structure of the title compound, [Cd(2)(C(8)H(4)O(4))Cl(2)(C(6)H(15)NO(3))](n), consists of one-dimensional chains in which each centrosymmetric tetranuclear Cd(4)Cl(4)O(2) cluster is terminated by two chelating triethanolamine (teaH(3)) ligands but linked to two adjacent clusters through four bridging benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (bdc) ligands. The tetranuclear Cd(4)Cl(4)O(2) clusters are held together via bridging Cl and O atoms. Three directional hydrogen bonds from the multi-podal hydroxy groups of the teaH(3) ligand stabilize and extend the one-dimensional chains into a three-dimensional framework. All three hydroxy groups of the teaH(3) ligand form hydrogen bonds, illustrating the fact that the teaH(3) ligand can serve as an excellent hydrogen-bond donor.
RESUMEN
The title compound, {(C(14)H(18)N(2))[Pb(2)I(6)]}(n), consists of discrete 1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-(ethane-1,2-di-yl)dipyridinium cations and one-dimensional [Pb(2)I(6)](n) anions. The organic cation has an inversion center at the mid-point of the ethane C-C bond. In the anion, the Pb(II) atom is coordinated by six I atoms in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The I atoms bridge the Pb(II) atoms into a polymeric chain running along [001]. These inorganic chains are separated by the isolated organic cations.
