Preparation of Novel Materials Using SMMs
Magnetic hysteresis is considered a distinctive feature of bulk magnetic materials, where it arises from long-range ordering and irreversible... -
Single-Chain Magnets:Theoretical Approach and Experimental Systems
Recently, a new class of nano-magnets has been discovered and called single-chain magnets (SCMs) by analogy to the single-molecule magnets (SMMs).... -
Theoretical Aspects of Phase Transitions in Ferroelectric Thin Films
Phase transitions in ferroelectric thin films are discussed theoretically on the basis of the Tilley–Zeks model for the case where the transition is... -
Physics of Ferroelectric Interfaces: An Attempt at Nanoferroelectric Physics
Experiments on devices can be regarded as part of basic physics. Here, theoretical analyses of devices using the interface in a ferroelectric... -
Analysis of Ferroelectricity and Enhanced Piezoelectricity near the Morphotropic Phase Boundary
In this Chapter, we discuss the phase diagram, dielectric constants, elastic constants, piezoelectricity and polarization reversal in the vicinity of... -
Chain \protect\mbox{FeRAMs}
A chain FeRAM (TM) is a solution for future high-density and high-speed nonvolatile memory. One memory cell consists of one transistor and one... -
Recent Development in the Preparation of Ferroelectric Thin Films by MOCVD
Recent research by our group, concerned with the preparation of ferroelectric thin films by MOCVD, is summarized. MOCVD has been investigated as a... -
10 Slip or Temperature Dependent Frictional Contact
The frictional contact problems which have been described up to now contained a constant friction coefficient, although, as was described in Sect.... -
14 Conclusions, Remarks and Future Directions
This monograph shows clearly that the branch of the Mathematical Theory of Contact Mechanics which deals with quasistatic processes has made an... -
2 Evolution Equations, Contact and Friction
Contact processes take place on the surface, and, therefore, are described by boundary conditions. However, these are the boundaries or surfaces of... -

This document is part of Subvolume D 'Zeolite-Type Crystal Structures and their Chemistry. Framework Type Codes LTA to RHO' of Volume 14 'Microporous... -
Nanoscale Phenomena in Ferroelectric Thin Films
In this chapter, recent progress in our group in the area of thin-film ferroelectrics is reviewed. The specific focus is on nanoscale... -
Ferroelectric Technologies \newline for Portable Equipment
Key technologies for portable equipment are low-voltage operation, low power consumption, and protocol-flexibility. Ferroelectric technology... -
5 A Detailed Representative Problem
In the previous three chapters various constitutive laws for the behaviour of the material and different contact conditions were described in some... -
7 Elastic Contact
Existence results for the problem of quasistatic contact between an elastic material and a reactive foundation were first obtained in [18] and [19].... -
12 Contact with Damage
We describe new results dealing with contact problems for materials that may undergo internal damage, resulting from strains and stresses which lead... -
8 Viscoelastic Contact
We describe results for contact problems involving viscoelastic materials. It will be seen that adding viscosity to the models leads to a substantial... -
9 Viscoplastic Contact
We describe contact problems for viscoplastic materials in which once the stress reaches the so-called yield limit the deformation becomes... -
4 Thermodynamic Derivation
In this chapter we present a short review of thermodynamic principles and potentials and describe their use in derivation of general thermomechanical... -
Static and Dynamic Properties of Domains
The static domain pattern of ferroelectric thin films results from the crystal structure of the film and the misfit strain caused by the...
