FAQ

  • What is the primary polarization principle of SPD?

    SPD utilizes high-intensity ion flow generated by corona discharge to apply a DC high-voltage electric field to loose or slightly compacted powder samples. This aligns the spontaneous polarization electric domains within the powdery materials to activate their piezoelectric, pyroelectric, or nonlinear optical properties.
  • What sample forms are supported by the powder poling fixture?

    It supports loose powders, slightly compacted powder disks, and bulk powder samples in specialized insulating containers.
  • Is the SPD polarization instrument safe to operate at high voltages?

    Yes, it is designed with high-voltage isolation, current limiters, and safety interlocks to prevent electrical breakdown and protect operators during the corona poling process.
