Induction of Nuclear Reactions through Piezoelectrics and other Means

Abstract:

In this paper we shall rst describe low energy nuclear transmutation theory [LENT]and then apply it to describe how a \smart" material such as a piezoelectric rock when crushedcan induce nuclear reactions with production of neutrons which have been observed. An experimentalprogram being set up at Perugia for realizing LENT is also briey noted.

Experimental Investigation of Non-Linear Behaviour of PZT Piezoceramics at Low Temperatures

Authors: Michael Nicolai, Stefan Uhlig, Andreas Schönecker, Alexander Michaelis

Abstract: The complex, non-linear, irreversible, hysteretic behaviour of polycrystalline ferroelectric materials is the result of domain wall motion and correlates with the phase composition of the ceramic. This paper reports on our investigation of the ferroelectric polarization of PZT ceramics in dependence of temperature in the range between -175 and 150°C. We compare five commercial piezoelectric materials used in actuator applications. The obtained data, derived correlations, and material functions are very helpful for understanding the material properties in practical applications and give input values for temperature depended numerical hysteretic models [1].

Study on Magnetoelectric Effect in Amorphous Ribbon /PZT Laminate Materials

Authors: Bing Hao Bao, Xing Cheng Tian

Abstract: Magnetoelectric(ME) effect in magnetoelectric laminate materials have potential application in many fields. In this paper, Fe78Si9B13 amorphous ribbons /PZT/amorphous ribbons sandwich structure laminate materials were fabricated. By theoretical analysis and experimental verification, we studied systemically on the characteristics of the magnetoelecric laminate materials, such as optimized bias magnetic field of the ME effect, ME voltage coefficient at low frequency and the resonant frequency of the magnetoelecric laminate element. ME effect can be used to develop new ac magnetic sensor and other devices.

A Linear Mapping Hysteresis Model Based on Theory of Microscopic Polarization

Authors: Chang Hai Ru, Wei Da Li, Ming Qiang Pan

Abstract: In this paper, the underlying anhysteretic polarization is quantified through constitutive equations derived using Boltzmann statictics and Langevin model. The remanent polarization and the irreversible polarization are analyzed. A thermodynamic description of ferroelectric phenomena is proposed to address the coupling relations between electrical field and mechanical field by considering the series expansion of the elastic Gibbs energy function. A simple linear mapping hysteresis model based on theory of microscopic polarization is derived. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, a micro-positioning stage driven by the PZT in open-loop operation was used to test. The experimental results show that the proposed hysteresis model could precisely describe hysteresis phenomena. The fitting error is within 0.5%.

Surface Effects on the Buckling of Piezoelectric Nanobeams

Authors: Kai Fa Wang, Bao Lin Wang

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the influence of surface effects including residual surface stress, surface piezoelectric and surface elasticity on the buckling behavior of piezoelectric nanobeams by using the Timoshenko beam theory and surface piezoelectricity model. The critical electric potential for buckling of piezoelectric nanobeams with different boundary condition is obtained analytically. From the results, it is found that the surface piezoelectric reduces the critical electric potential. However, a positive residual surface stress increases the critical electric potential. In addition, the shear deformation reduces the critical electric potential, and the influence of shear deformation become more significant for a stubby piezoelectric nanobeam.

A study on polarization properties of the carbon black modified 0-3 cement-based piezoelectric composites

Authors: Mi Mi Li, Shi Feng Huang, Shi Hui Xie, Mei Juan Zhou, Xin Cheng

Abstract: A carbon black modified 0–3 cement-based piezoelectric composite was fabricated with piezoelectric ceramic [0.08Pb(Li1/4Nb3/4)O•0.47PbTiO3•0.45PbZrO3], sulphoaluminate cement and carbon black by compressing technique. The influences of poling conditions on the piezoelectric and dielectric properties of the composites were investigated. The results show that the higher poling electric field, the longer poling time and the higher poling temperature, the composites have the higher piezoelectric strain factor d33, piezoelectric voltage factor g33, dielectric constant εr and dielectric loss tanδ. At the same time, the carbon black modified composites are polarized more easily than the unmodified composites, and have better piezoelectric and dielectric properties. Meanwhile, the optimum poling conditions were obtained, and the optimum poling field E, poling time t and poling temperature T were 4 kV/mm, 20 min and 80 °C.
