Radio frequency (RF) filters based on bulk acoustic wave resonances in piezoelectric thin films have become indispensable components in mobile communications. The currently used material, AlN, exhibits many excellent properties for this purpose. However, i ...
The converse piezoelectric response of Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 ceramics is investigated as a function of material composition. The effects of the crystallographic phase and different dopants on piezoelectric nonlinearity are separately examined. For a linear depend ...
The mechanism of the giant unipolar strain recently observed in a lead-free piezoceramic, 0.92(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-0.06BaTiO(3)-0.02(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 [S.-T. Zhang, A. B. Kounga, E. Aulbach, H. Ehrenberg, and J. Rodel, Appl. Phys. Lett. 91, 112906 (2007) was inve ...
This project aims to analyze, fabricate and characterize a mechanical hydrogen sensor. The potential of hydrogen gas detection using beam resonators is investigated. The beams consist mainly of Si3N4, providing a tensile stress to prevent buckling. Pd expa ...
A novel electro-fragmentation method was developed as a fast alternative to the time consuming fragmentation test carried out in situ in a microscope, to investigate the failure of dielectric inorganic coatings on polymer substrates. An ultrathin conductiv ...
In the past two decades, the fact that “small is different” has been established for a wide variety of phenomena, including electrical, optical, magnetic, and mechanical behavior of materials. However, one largely untapped but potentially very important ar ...
Research on lead-free piezoceramics has dramatically increased over the last years due to stringent legislation demanding to phase out current lead- containing piezoceramics. The use of electrostrictive materials for electric-field induced strain has been ...
The piezoelectric properties of 31-mode resonators of lead zirconate titanate ceramics under hydrostatic pressure from 0.1 to 325MPa were evaluated by a fitting method, in which mechanical loss was taken into account. Our results based on the fitting metho ...
The authors report on the ability to control the polarity of sputter deposited AlN001 thin films using seed layers. Reactive sputter deposition leads to N-polarity on any substrate hitherto applied, i.e., Si111, sapphire, SiO2, and polycrystalline metals su ...
Piezoelectric thin films have existing and promising new applications in microwave filter technologies. The final performance depends on many parameters, and very specifically on the materials properties of each involved material. In this article, material ...
