Rhombohedral PZT Thin Films Prepared by Sputtering
PZT thin films with a rhombohedral perovskite structure were successfully grown on (111) PLT/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si and (111) Ir/SiO2/Si substrates. The... -
Correlation Between Domain Structures and Dielectric Properties in Single Crystals of Ferroelectric Solid Solutions
In the present chapter, the growth of single crystals in relaxor–PbTiO3 (PT) solid solution system by the flux method and the solution Bridgman... -
Relaxor Superlattices: Artificial Control of the Ordered–Disordered State of B-Site Ions in Perovskites
We have developed a new superlattice technique to artificially control the B-site ordering state. The technique has been applied to Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3,... -
Pb-Based Ferroelectric Thin Films Prepared by MOCVD
This Chapter focuses on the preparation and ferroelectric properties of Pb-based thin films and nanostructures. First, the growth behavior of... -
Chemical Solution Depositionof Layer-Structured Ferroelectric Thin Films
Ferroelectric rare-earth-doped Bi4Ti3O12 thin films have been successfully prepared on Si-based substrates by using metallo-organic precursor... -
Concluding Remarks
So far, the 3DXRD microscope has mainly been applied to fundamental studies in metallurgy. As demonstrated in Chap. 9, the method is sufficiently... -
The 3DXRD Microscope
The 3DXRD microscope at ESRF is installed in a separate laboratory, the second experimental hutch at beamline ID11 [1,2]. The beamline is an... -

An understanding of polycrystalline deformation is essential for science and industry, in order to predict the development of texture and flow stress... -
Combining 3DXRD and Absorption Contrast Tomography
The 3DXRD setup sketched in Fig. 3.1 is very similar to the setup typically used for absorption contrast x-ray tomography at synchrotrons.... -
Multigrain Crystallography
Traditionally, x-ray crystallography is based on either powder diffraction data or single-crystal studies. Both methods have their distinct... -
Electrochemistry and Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence of Semiconductor Nanocrystals in Solutions and in Films
A retrospective overview of electrochemical studies of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) is given. The electrochemical behavior of monodisperse NCs... -
Intra-Solid and Inter-Solid Reactions of Molecular Crystals: a Green Route to Crystal Engineering
The thesis developed in this chapter is that reactions taking place between molecular solids or within molecular solids, or involving a molecular... -
Asymmetric Induction in Organic Photochemistry via the Solid-State Ionic Chiral Auxiliary Approach
After a brief introduction and summary of various methods of asymmetric induction in organic photochemistry, the main part of the review covers the... -
The Zintl–Klemm Concept Applied to Cations in Oxides. II. The Structures of Silicates
The structures of ternary and quaternary silicates are revisited on the basis of the Zintl–Klemm concept and the Pearson's generalised octet rule.... -
Intraband Spectroscopy and Semiconductor Nanocrystals
This chapter reviews intraband spectroscopy as it has been applied to semiconductor nanocrystals synthesized by colloid methods. -
