A hydrothermal processing route was used to produce anisotropic submicrometer particles of potassium niobate-tantalates and pure potassium niobate. Piezoelectric activity, switching polarization, and piezoelectric hysteresis loops were observed in these fe ...
Thin film piezoelectric materials offer a number of advantages in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), due to the large motions that can be generated, often with low hysteresis, the high available energy densities, as well as high sensitivity sensors wit ...
The incorporation of up to 40 % lead excess into the perovskite lattice of Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) has been investigated. Three independent chemical composition analysis methods confirmed the correct determination of the lead excess, present as Pb2O3. High reso ...
The present study aims at a better understanding of the high piezoelectric properties encountered in lead-based ferroelectrics by focusing on the extrinsic contributions to the response. The main characteristics of these materials are the highly nonlinear ...
New micromachined pressure sensors based on PZT coated silicon cantilevers have been fabricated and integrated in a photoacoustic gas detector. PZT Sol-gel thin films texture and composition were optimized with respect to the transverse piezoelectric coeff ...
Piezoelectric response nonlinearity is approached using the Preisach description of hysteretic systems as collection of distributed bistable units. The Preisach model and its recent physical interpretation in terms of moving domain wall in a stochastically ...
This paper reviews deposition, integration. and device fabrication of ferroelectric PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) films for applications in microelectromechanical systems. As examples, a piezoelectric ultrasonic micromotor and pyroelectric infrared detector array are ...
A review is given on the current state of the art in piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (pMUT). It is attempted to quantify the limits of pMUT's with respect to the electromechanical coupling, and to relate current achievements. Main needs ...
Three wet chemistry routes were used to synthesize Ba0.99Zr0.8Y0.2O3-delta (BZY20) and to avoid the drawbacks of the conventional mixed oxide route used for its preparation. Pure samples were prepared using the Matrix Trapping and Decomposition (MTD) and P ...
The state of the art of thin-film pyroelectric infrared (IR) detectors is reviewed covering device physics, material performance, micro-fabrication and device examples. Emphasis is given to special issues related to thin films, such as small heat capacitie ...
