Properties of the perspective ferroelectric materials
Krejčí, Josef ; Frk, Martin (referee) ; Rozsívalová, Zdenka (advisor)
This thesis studies the properties and the applications of prospective ferroelectric materials which are used in electrical engineering and electronic industry. Further are physically explained and mathematically described the basic principles running in their structure. The practical part is aimed to build a workplace for measuring the components of the complex permittivity in the frequency and temperature area, controlled by the programmed measurement and service application using the Agilent VEE Pro 8.0 and MS Excel. The functionality of the workplace was verified on the selected material samples by measurement and evaluation of selected properties. For this issue was created electronic text, which can be used as a guide for laboratory exercises and it is an integral part of this work.

Behaviour of ferroelectrics in an electric field
Krejčí, Josef ; Rozsívalová, Zdenka (referee) ; Frk, Martin (advisor)
The submitted thesis describes characteristics and use of ferroelectric materials which find their utilization in electrotechnical and electronics industry. The thesis is mainly aimed at their behaviour in the electrical field at various intensity and also focuses on their diagnostic methods. The method using an oscilloscope is selected as the most suitable and described here in more detail. Measuring laboratory workplace for detection of characteristics of ferroelectric materials in the electrical field has been innovated with available equipment and then its utility has been verified. Temperature and electric tension dependence of components of complex permittivity and electric condition of the material has been scaled using selected samples of ferroelectrics. A text in an electronic form has been integral part of the thesis. The text can be used as an instruction manual for laboratory trainings.

Tunable materials and structures for terahertz spectral range
Skoromets, Volodymyr ; Kužel, Petr (advisor) ; Hlídek, Pavel (referee) ; Pashkin, Alexei (referee)
This thesis is devoted to an experimental study of dielectric properties of incipient fer- roelectrics. The terahertz time-domain spectroscopy was used to investigate the complex permittivity spectra in both single crystals and various strained thin film structures versus temperature and applied electric bias. Namely, it allowed characterizing the ferroelectric soft-mode dynamics and its coupling to a central mode. An electric-field tunability of bulk single crystals of SrTiO3 was determined up to room temperature for the first time. The phenomenon is governed by soft-mode stiffening under applied field. As an application we proposed and characterized a tunable one-dimensional photonic structure with a thin SrTiO3 plate inserted as a defect layer. The importance of the soft-mode dynamics was stressed also in the study of bulk high density KTaO3 ceramics. A systematic study was performed of a KTaO3 thin film and especially of a set of strained multilayers consisting of SrTiO3/DyScO3 bilayers grown on DyScO3 substrate. Strain-induced ferroelectric transition was observed in these films governed by the soft mode coupled to a lower-frequency relaxation. A general model was developed describing the whole family of the studied samples. Effect of the composition stoichiometry of SrTiO3 films grown on DyScO3 was...

PFM and Raman spectroscopy of selected dielectric materials
Borodavka, Fedir ; Gregora, Ivan (advisor) ; Baumruk, Vladimír (referee) ; Hehlen, Bernard (referee)
Title: PFM and Raman spectroscopy of selected dielectric materials Author: Fedir Borodavka Institute: Department of Dielectrics, Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, Na Slovance 2, 182 21, Prague 8, Czech Republic Supervisor: Ing. Ivan Gregora, CSc. Training institute: Department of Dielectrics, Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, Na Slovance 2, 182 21, Prague 8, Czech Republic Consultants: RNDr. Stanislav Kamba, CSc. and RNDr. Vladimír Vorlíček, CSc. Abstract: The thesis is devoted to a detailed investigation of dielectric materials using Raman spectroscopy and PFM microscopy techniques. Phonon properties of a newly synthesized guanylurea(1+) hydrogen phosphite single crystals have been studied. A tentative assignment of the observed Raman peaks has been done and the sets of A′ MIX, A′ TO and A′′ TO mode frequencies have been determined. Phonon behaviour of BiMnO3 ceramics, obtained from Raman spectra, has been char- acterized. After comparing the factor group analysis with the Raman spectra it has been concluded that the material has a centrosymmetric C2/c structure and is not ferroelectric. Lattice modes of the complex La1/2Na1/2TiO3 single crystal have been investigated. We have numerically analysed the intensity behaviour of the sharp peak at 455 cm−1 on heating and...

Lead-based relaxor ferroelectrics by Raman scattering
Rafalovskyi, Iegor ; Hlinka, Jiří (advisor) ; Deluca, Marco (referee) ; Dubroka, Adam (referee)
Title: Lead-based relaxor ferroelectrics by Raman scattering Author: Iegor Rafalovskyi Institute: Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences Supervisor: Ing. Jiří Hlinka, Ph.D., Department of Dielectrics, Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences Abstract: The following work is dedicated to measurement and analysis of Raman scat- tering spectra of different perovskite ferroelectrics, mainly lead-based relaxors in the form of bulk and thin films. Investigation of single crystal MPB composition PMN-0.32PT has shown that procedure of zero-field heating of previously field-cooled sample leads to sta- bilization of heterophase pattern with 10-100 µm parallel stripes of alternating tetragonal and rhombohedral (rhombohedral-like) phases. Another point of interest investigated in PMN-0.32PT is rhombohedral to tetragonal phase transition induced by electric field. The domain structure with 90-degree domain walls has been observed in relaxor based composition PFN-0.38PT. Adjacent domains were investigated by polarized Raman scat- tering to confirm their structure and symmetry. Relaxor ferroelectric PSN has shown totally different behavior in polarized Raman spectra if studied in the form of single crystal or epitaxial thin film. The normalized cross-polarized intensity of 810 cm−1 band measured in...
