A simple technique for microstructuring ceramic thin films by micromachining substrates using standard photolithographic techniques was investigated. The ceramic perovskite is used to illustrate the method because of its importance for the fabrication of e ...
In this paper the preparation and characterization of the ceramic material (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (KNN) has been studied. Although conventional processing of KNN is often reported to result in sintered bodies lacking sufficient density, samples produced in this w ...
Screen-printing technology is widely used in the field of gas sensors and can also be used to fabricate electrodes for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). The compatibility of this technique with micro-hotplate is studied to produce micro sensors and micro SOFC. ...
Several members of the perovskite family are investigated: the temperature dependence of dielectric, elastic, piezoelectric and coupling coefficients of KNbO3 in its orthorhombic ferroelectric phase is determined experimentally; the values of dielectric st ...
A method of generating an image incorporating a microstructure includes the steps of obtaining an original image, generating a microstructure, and rendering a region or the whole said original image with said microstructure. The operation of generating the ...
This study investigates the composition of free surfaces of neodymium-doped yttrium–aluminum–garnet, using energy minimization techniques. Atomistic modeling shows that the dopant is concentrated in a zone within 0.5 nm ̊of the surface, the enrichment fact ...
Anewmicrosystem with the ability to detect magnetic microstructures based on the non-invasive Hall principle is presented. The micro-Hall plate embedded in the microsystem and scaled down to the physical limits of the employedCMOStechnology has an active a ...
NOVELTY - The component partially or wholly comprises pigmented ceramic. The pigment comprises nanoparticles of metal of group IB in periodic table, alkaline metals or their alloy, coated with a layer of silica such as crystalline silica. The crystalline s ...
We report on the first successfully microfabricated and tested ion-implanted dielectric electroactive polymer (EAP or DEAP) actuators. Dieletric EAP (DEAP) actuators combine exceptionally high energy-density with large amplitude displacements [1,2]. Scalin ...
This paper presents the development of radial eddy-current position sensors for high temperature active magnetic bearing (AMB) applications. Thick-film technology was used to realize silver coils printed on ceramic substrates. Long term measurements showed ...
