The shape of the grains and the granulometry distribution of the PZT powder are the main factor influencing the densification. In addition, we shown that a higher concentration of PZT powder in the ink with a right rheology of the ink improves the density ...
The effect of acceptor (Na, Mg, Fe) and donor (Nb,Ta) dopants on the switching properties of Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O-3 (PZT) thin films with Pt electrodes was investigated for broad dopant concentration ranges. The effect of dopants on endurance was found to be ...
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 ...
Transient photocurrents are investigated in ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films illuminated by laser pulses in the spectral range of 340-380 nm. At low electric fields, the photocurrent is sensitive to the ferroelectric polarization state and ...
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 ...
A surprising non-cumulative effect of the degradation mechanism (fatigue) of the switched polarization (P-r(s)), was observed in MOCVD and sol-gel prepared Pb(Zr0.47Ti0.53)O-3 (PZT) ferroelectric thin films capacitors (FECAP) with Pt-electrodes. This effec ...
It was recently suggested, basing on the analysis of a wide range of macroscopic experimental results([1-4]), that fatigue in ferroelectric thin film capacitors, particularly in the case of PZT with metallic electrodes (Pt), must be related to the freezing ...
The pyroelectric properties of Pb1-xCaxTiO3 (x = 0-0.3) thin films have been greatly improved by including porosity in the microstructure. Control of nucleation and growth by variation of the heating rate was used to process porous, low dielectric constant ...
A simple and reliable method which allows one to distinguish between the two major microscopic scenarios for the suppression of the switching polarization (P-r(s)), i.e., pinning of ferroelectric domain walls (DWs) through the Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 film (PZT) (bulk ...
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 ...
