The Technique of Studying X-Ray Scattering over Wide Temperature Range in an Electric Field

详细

The technique of studying the synchrotron radiation scattering on single crystals over wide temperature range using an original miniature device for applying an electric field to a sample is described. A specific feature of the device is the possibility of its application with various heating and cooling systems. The technique was used at BM01 beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) for the study of the influence of electric field on the processes of structural transformation in lead zirconate–titanate single crystal with a low titanium concentration. The efficiency of the technique proposed in this work is demonstrated and the results of the preliminary analysis of the results are presented.
