In this paper we present a model of spontaneous polarization appearing in the crystal of thiourea in phase I, constructed on the basis of the molecular field theory, with the use of the Boltzmann statistics. The model employs the potential energy of interaction between two nonpunctual molecular electric dipoles performing reorientations within the constraints specified by the experimentally determined structural data. The temperature dependences of the spontaneous polarization for different values of the hydrostatic pressure and for different γ-ray doses were obtained. A comparison between theoretical and experimental results permitted calculation of the parameters of the theory presented.

The phononic band structures of two-dimensional solid phononic crystals with different lattice and scatterer symmetry are studied numerically, with three types of lattice (square, triangular, and rectangular) and four different scatterer shapes (circle, hexagon, square, and rectangle) considered. XY and Z vibration modes are investigated separately. Two types of phononic crystal are considered: one composed of high-density rods embedded in a low-density matrix, the other of low-density rods in a high-density matrix. In the former case, lattice type and polarization being fixed, the broadest gaps are obtained when the symmetry of the rods corresponds to that of the lattice (the shape of a rod is identical with that of the first Brillouin zone); the largest gap width values are observed in triangular lattice-based crystals (compared to those based on the square and rectangular lattices), the shape of the corresponding first Brillouin zone being closest to a circle. These rules do not apply to structures in which the density of the rod material is lower than that of the matrix. In this case, when the symmetry of the rods corresponds to that of the lattice, gaps either fail to appear at all, or are much narrower than in other configurations. The effect of other material parameter values (such as the longitudinal and transversal velocity values) on the relation between the energy gap width and the scatterer symmetry is found to be much lesser.

The Model of Ferroelectricity in Thiourea

100%
EN
In this paper we propose a mechanism of the phenomenon of ferroelectricity in the molecular crystal of thiourea (SC(NH_2)_2). The mechanism is based on the model of interaction between two molecular electric dipoles. The dipoles are not idealized to points - they have a finite length. Besides, they can reorient mutually and the reorientation is determined by the crystal structure specified by the experimental structural research. On the basis of this theory, a formula for the potential energy of interaction of a pair of two nonpunctual dipoles as a function of the angle of reorientation is derived and discussed.
