Through the use of relations analogous to that of the Rayleigh law, it is demonstrated that the ac electric field dependence of the permittivity of ferroelectric thin films can be described. It is further shown that both reversible and irreversible compone ...
The contribution from the irreversible displacement of non-180 degrees domain walls to the direct longitudinal piezoelectric d(33) coefficient of BaTiO3 and Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 ceramics was determined quantitatively by using the Rayleigh law. Effects of the cryst ...
A short overview is given on deposition and integration of PZT thin films on silicon for MEMS applications. The application principles are explained and the piezoelectric coefficients are compared with the ones of AlN and ZnO. The materials figure of merit ...
Pb(Zr1–xTix)O3 thin films (x = 0.55 and 0.85) were prepared on fine grained, polished ZrO2 ceramic substrates by a sol-gel method. The high thermal expansion of ZrO2 relative to Si allows the preparation of thicker PZT films with reduced thermal stress. Fo ...
The direct longitudinal piezoelectric effect (d(33)) in lead zirconate titanate, barium titanate, bismuth titanate and strontium bismuth titanate ceramics was investigated with respect to the dependence on the amplitude of an alternating pressure. At low a ...
We have studied deposition by in-situ reactive sputtering of ferroelectric Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT) thin films on Pt and RuO2 electrodes, using temperatures in the 490-620°C range. Nucleation on the electrode was found to be of prime importance for the formati ...
Pyroelectric thin film 12-element linear arrays (element size 0.4x0.9 mm(2)) have been fabricated by standard photolithography techniques on silicon substrates. A voltage responsivity of almost 800 V/W in air and 3000 V/W in vacuum is measured at low frequ ...
The large piezoelectric effect of ferroelectric ceramics is utilized in many devices for sensing and actuating purposes. In this paper, the longitudinal direct piezoelectric effect in ceramics based on lead zirconate titanate, lead titanate, barium titanat ...
The mechanical response of piezoelectric cantilever beams actuated by sol-gel- derived lead zirconium titanate (PZT) thin film is reported. Small multilayered beams are used to analyse the converse piezoelectric effect and to measure the mechanical deflect ...
Pyroelectric thin-film point detectors and 1 x 12 arrays have been fabricated and characterized. They consist of sol-gel-deposited PZT thin-film elements on micromachined Si3N4/SiO2 membranes. The measured current and voltage response as a function of modu ...
