Abstract:
Ferroelectric photo-thermochromic (PTC) materials with both high coloration contrast and high transparency have attracted great attention for their applications in "smart window" for non-contact optical information storage. Nevertheless, it has been challenging to develop a ferroelectric PTC material that simultaneously meets the distinct transparency and coloration contrast requirements. Herein, dual rare-earth ions doping of 1%Er-(K0.5Na0.5)(0.985)La0.015NbO6 (Er-KNLN) ferroelectric ceramics is aimed at increasing the optical transmittance and obtaining an ideal coloration contrast. The traditional solid-state reaction is exploited for ceramics fabrication, and the optimal optical transmittance (approximate to 70% at 900 nm) can be obtained due to finer grains, more symmetrical structure, and compact structure in samples sintered at a suitable temperature (such as <= 1165 degrees C). Contributed from the trapping and de-trapping of charge carriers in vacancy-related defects, the Er-KNLN ceramics exhibit obvious PTC behavior and the novel impedance modulation is developed. The coupling between PTC behavior and optical transparency, lanthanide up-conversion emission, patterned display, and room temperature impedance enables nondestructive rewritable and readout characteristics of multi-mode "0" and "1" states. This work solves the main problems hampering the promising applications of ferroelectric materials and paves a way for developing multifunctional optical memory smart windows.
