I am in a need to study ferroelectric property for my samples. Can anyone suggest a laboratory or institution which provides this facility? I do not know how long I am going to search for instruments.
What is your sample? Single crystal or powder? Have you characterized your sample by X-ray diffraction? Is it phase pure? How do you know that your sample is ferroelectric? Is ithis knowledge is just from the literature? No one will spend time with your sample unless you clarify and answer all these questions? In India there are several Inter-University Consortiums that have laboratories. These are situated in several cities in India and are funded by DST. I know that there are such facilities in Indore, Kolkata etc. These facilities can be used by the persons coming from any institution from India. You have write up a reasonable proposal. But there also you have to answer the questions I asked you. Which part of India do you come from? Why don't you enquire about the such DST facility close to your Institute?
If you do not really get any help in India I can help you. But you must convince me that is really the case.
u can find such facility in IUAC labs in india. Search the web for the facility of IUAC its free of cost for the researchers from Govt. recognized uni./labs, despite they pay TA also for students.
What are your samples ( Materials)
What is Tc of your samples? If the phase has been confirmed by XRD, then you need
the following
1. Dielectric constant as a function of temperature,
2. P-E hysteresis loop are the two most wanted techniques.
As pointed above, many places funded by Govt have these facilities.
Please send details about your samples and place which you belong to?
Dear Tapan Chatterji Sir
First of all thank you. My samples are single crystals but they are needle shaped. I have solved its full structure by XRD in IIT Madras. Yes sir in literature only i have read that they are well known for its ferroelectric property. I am from Salem in Tamilnadu.
Dear Manindra Trihotri Sir
Thank you for introducing about IUAC lab Sir. Your help will surely motivate some students like me. Thank you i will proceed with IUAC facilities sir.
Dear Vandna Luthra Sir
I don know where the facility is available and whom to ask? But now i have gained some knowledge about the facilities.
These facilities are available here locally in Delhi. These facilities should be there in IIT Madras also. Have you explored.
Dear Mam
No mam. I will search for the laboratory. Thank you.
Dear Ranjith
you can get P-E hystersis loop in Ceramic lab., RRCAT, Indore. Many of the crystal grower from Crystal growth centre, Anna university are using the same.
