The self-polarization effect is investigated in Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) thin films deposited by sol-gel and magnetron sputtering techniques. The effective piezoelectric coefficient of as-grown films, which is proportional to their initial polarization (self-pol ...
The fabrication and characterization of a microfabricated acoustic Lamb-wave device driven by a piezoelectric PZT (modified lead zirconate titanate Pb(Zr-x,Ti1-x)O-3) sol-gel thin film for use in mass-transport, mass-filtering and fluid-delivery systems ar ...
Fatigued state of the Pt-PZT-Pt system is studied by means of low-temperature conduction measurements. It is shown that the conduction in the temperature interval of 100-140 degrees K is determined by the cold field emission of electrons (tunneling conduct ...
Ferroelectric, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric thin films and ceramics are reviewed with the aim of providing an insight into different processes which may affect the behaviour of ferroelectric devices, such as ferroelectric memori ...
Ultrasonic motors for low electrical power applications are considered for portable devices such as an electronic wristwatch. For the study of a standing wave type motor, a modular approach was proposed, where stators and rotors are added in an assembly st ...
It is shown that at weak alternating stress the relationship between the piezoelectrically induced charge and applied stress in ferroelectric ceramics has the same form as the Rayleigh law for magnetization versus magnetic field in ferromagnetic materials. ...
The influence of ultraviolet (UV) illumination on piezoelectric properties is investigated in lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films. It is found that the poling procedure is more effective when the film is exposed to a broadband UV light in the presence ...
In this paper the simple accelerometers based on PZT thin films were developed and characterized. The functions of seismic mass and spring are given by a boss loaded cantilever structure. The strain of the cantilever is detected by a Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 thin film ...
The piezoelectric properties of rhombohedral relaxor-ferroelectric compositions close to morphotropic phase boundary have been studied as a function of temperature. As they exhibit, upon heating, a rhombohedral to tetragonal phase transition the piezoelect ...
Two W protection schemes for direct-contact bottom electrodes for PZT thin films, namely RuO2/Cr and RuO2/Ru, were compared with respect to protective performance and contact resistance up to 800 degrees C annealing temperature in oxygen. Cr clearly offers ...
