The culturally adapted version of the painDETECT presents good psychometric properties and shows to be a valid patient-reported outcome for measuring the presence of a neuropathic component in patients with chronic pain.
The domain configuration of 0.95Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.05PbTiO3 single crystals was investigated as a function of the applied electric-field direction with respect to the crystallographic orientation. A normal ferroelectric domain structure, which was not observable in virgin crystals (not exposed to electric field), appeared upon the electric-field (E-field) induced transition from the relaxor state to the normal ferroelectric state. After E-field was applied along the polar 〈111〉 direction and removed, a band-shaped domain configuration appeared as a result of subsequent depolarization. The depoled 〈111〉 crystal consisted of predominantly (110) domain boundaries, which represents the minimum energy domain state in rhombohedral ferroelectrics. In contrast, crystals must transform into the phase with the symmetry lower than rhombohedral, i.e., monoclinic structure, by an E-field application along 〈001〉. Domain boundaries in 〈001〉 poled crystals were indexed to be (001), being a favorable state for monoclinic ferroelectrics. The dependence of the domain configuration upon the E-field application direction could be explained using the relationship between the mechanical compatibility with respect to the ferroelectric strain and the crystal symmetry of a domain. The residual strain on domain boundaries in 〈001〉 crystals may inhibit crystals to recover the rhombohedral structure, resulting in a monoclinic ferroelectric crystal even upon the removal of the E-field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
