The in-plane displacement is obtained by using the DSCM, and the out-plane displacement is obtained by the geometrical relation of the triangle theory. In this application, high field electrostrictive strains of barium titanate/polyurethane elastomer composite materials are measured. The electrostrictive strain is evaluated when the application of an electric field is repeated, and then the electrostrictive coefficient of the sample is obtained. To improve the measuring accuracy, the bilinear interpolation of gray value is used to obtain the sub-pixel gray value. The results are compared with those obtained from the surface fitting algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that the electrostrictive response of polyurethane increases with the introduction of barium titanate into polyurethane. And by using the DSCM, the measurement of the characteristic of electrostriction can be done quickly and accurately. The DSCM provides an effective tool for the evaluation of electrostrictive response.展开更多

Firstly,Ti2O(O2)2(ta)24-complex ions were prepared by the reaction of H2O2,Ti4+ and ta3-(ta=C6H6O6N3-) with a desirable amount of surface active agent,and then the Ba2Ti2O(O2)2(ta)2·2H2O precursor was obtained by reaction between Ti2O(O2)2(ta)24-and Ba2+. Finally,the precursor was annealed at 800 ℃ for 2 h to obtain BaTiO3 powder. The morphology,the particle size distribution,the purity and the molar ratio of Ba to Ti of BaTiO3 powder were investigated systematically by TEM,XRD,IR,Raman and chemical analysis,respectively. The results show that the BaTiO3 powders with the grain size of about 40 nm have a tetragonal crystalline structure at room temperature and a spherical morphology.展开更多

The microstructure, morphology and dielectric properties were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope and impedance method. The results show that the La2/3TiO3 particles consist of nearly homogenous and lamellar grains. The particles can be sintered into porous ceramics above 1150℃. The dielectric properties of La2/3 TiO3 show that both the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss tangent decrease with the increase of frequency.展开更多

In particular, there are plans to use them in constellations of small spacecraft for remote sensing of various regions of the magnetosphere. They require a payload with specific size, weight and power consumption. In order to respond to this demand, new instruments have to be developed. Those instruments should exhibit at least the same performances as those used in larger satellites while fulfilling the specific requirements imposed by the satellites size. For this reason, the authors currently develop a xylophone bar magnetometer (XBM) based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) with integrated detector electronics. The principle of this magnetometer is based on a classical resonating xylophone bar. A sinnsoidal current oscillating at the fundamental bending resonant frequency of the bar is applied through the device, and when an external magnetic field is present, the resulting Lorentz force yields the bar to vibrate at its fundamental mode with a displacement directly proportional to the amplitude in one direction of the ambient magnetic field. When designing a MEMS XBM, the detection method is a crucial aspect. The measurement method largely influences the geometry of the magnetometer as well as the manufacturing technology. Due to the constraints in terms of size, weight and power consumption, the two most promising measurement methods are capacitive and piezoelectric ones. Several designs including these measurement techniques are presented and simulated under realistic conditions. First, designs including lateral electrodes for capacitive measurement are tackled based on Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) process. For the piezoelectric detection, a new configuration based on Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT)/Pt structure is introduced and leads to much better sensitivity than the traditional Pt/PZT/Pt sandwich structure. Finally, the principle of electronic circuits enabling high sensitivity and low power consumption are proposed.展开更多

The samples were characterized using XRD, TEM, BET, XPS, surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) and field-induced surface photovohage spectroscopy (FISPS). Effects of temperature and pH in the hydrothermal process on particle sizes, specific surface areas, and photoeatalytic properties of the TiO2 nanoerystalline were investigated. The experimental results indicate that the photocatalysis activity of TiO2 nanoparticles prepared in basic medium ( B-TiO2 ) is superior to that in acidic medium ( A-TiO2 ), which is ascribed to the difference of surface state between A-TiO2 and B-TiO2.展开更多
