Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have researched to observe the dynamics of polar nanoregions in relaxor ferroelectrics by measuring local charge fluctuations using the muon spin rotation relaxation (μSR) method. A new measurement technique called the transient (unstable external conditions) μSR method was developed and applied to measure an antiferromagnetic relaxor ferroelectric (1-x)BiFeO3-xBaTiO3. By measuring these materials, we succeeded in observing the magnetic fluctuation exhibited by the iron spin and the charge fluctuation of the ferroelectric nanodomain inside the relaxor coexisting with it.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

リラクサー強誘電体は理想的な圧電・誘電材料として様々な分野で利用されているが,この優れた特性の起源は未だ議論の最中にある.本研究では,リラクサーが持つ微小な不均質構造の時間揺らぎ(局所電荷揺らぎ)を観測する新しい手法を開発し,実際のリラクサー強誘電体(1-x)BiFeO3-xBaTiO3に適用することで,局所電荷揺らぎの観測に成功した.本研究成果はリラクサー強誘電体のみならず,ナノサイズの電荷ダイナミクスを利用した半導体エレクトロニクス分野にも革新をもたらすことが期待される.
