IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishWe perform redundant x-ray diffraction versus temperature experiments in bulk transparent KTN. We find a violation of the standard perovskite cubic-to-tetragonal symmetry breaking at the Curie point in the form of an orthorhombic cell distortion. The lattice distortion spans coherently macroscopic volumes of the sample and is characterized by a negative-to-zero thermal volume expansion. Dielectric measurements and calorimetry indicate that the anomalous behavior is not associated to a distinct thermodynamic phase. The comparison of linear and nonlinear optical scattering experiments with structural data suggests that the lattice distortion is a consequence of strain relaxation to a 3D superlattice of polarization vortices.
