Analysis of Polar Structure in High Temperature Relaxor Dielectrics: Framework for Materials Discovery

Lead Research Organisation: University of Glasgow

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description It is becoming apparent that local chemical ordering on the nanoscale is present in the ceramics with the high temperature - wide temperature range stable dielectric constant. This seems to correlate with some local polarisation ordering. Data is currently being analysed prior to publication.
Exploitation Route We need to finish the analysis of the data taken in the programme. Also, the samples are still present and will be analysed once the current national crisis is over in the aim of publishing the results in the next year.
