Production of Spontaneous Polarization by Elastic Instabilities in Piezoelectric Materials.

摘要

This report consists of an introductory survey of the work carried out during the whole period of the Grant followed by a compilation of reprints or preprints of all journal articles that have been published, or submitted during this time. These cover the theoretical work on the lattice dynamics and stability of gadolinium molybdate and other structures and the experimental work on the pyroelectric properties, specific heat and Raman spectra of GMO.
