| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Polar materials exhibit properties attributable to their non-centrosymmetric structures such as ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, non-linear optical properties, and are applicable to ferroelectric memory devices, piezoelectric devices through which electricity transforms into mechanical energy and vice versa, non-linear optical devices with wavelength conversion function, and so on. In this study, to establish the foundation of polar materials, we focused our attention to lithium niobate compounds with a polar structure and worked on the search of novel compounds and development of their functional properties. As the results, we successfully synthesized lithium niobate type compounds such as zinc titanate, ZnTiO3, investigated their crystal structure and properties such as polarity, and elucidated the relationship between constituent ions, structure, and functional properties. Furthermore, a novel polar material with a perovskite structure was found in the course of material search.
