The continuing decrease of power requirements of electronic circuits offers the potential to deploy wireless systems as embedded sensors for cars or industrial tools, and implanted medical devices. Harvesting ambient vibrations by an appropriate energy har ...
In this work, bar- and disk-shaped resonators were fabricated using Al(0.8)4Sc(0.16)N thin film Sensitivity analysis of the resonators' resonance frequencies with respect to the piezoelectric material parameters revealed that resonance analysis can be used ...
This report presents the characterization of singly-clamped and doubly-clamped resonator devices. Resistance tests were performed to ensure adequate top-to-bottom insulation, allowing the characterization work to proceed. The piezoelectric characteristics ...
To advance the field of piezoelectrics, it is desirable to find materials that combine high piezoelectricity with high elasticity. Applications such as self-sensors, stretchable electronics, soft robots, and energy harvesting would benefit tremendously. Ho ...

Micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) have long shown their potential to disrupt the established technologies. Over the past 15 years, MEMS have become fundamental components in filters, accelerometers, gyroscopes and gas sensors. MEMS are n ...
Mobile communication has grown explosively in recent years, leading to a strong demand for cheap, but high-performing bandpass filters with low insertion loss and smaller size. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) and thin film bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators r ...
Accurate property determination of the piezoelectric thin film material Al(1-x)Sc(x)N is necessary for designing the next generation of radio frequency resonators in mobile communication, and for testing results of ab initio calculations. Sound velocity an ...
The influence of compressive strain on the linear electro-optic (EO) effect in c-domain (BaxSr1-x)TiO3 (BST) thin films was theoretically investigated using a phenomenological thermodynamic model. We considered that the c-domain BST thin films were grown o ...
Piezoelectric ceramics generate strain through the intrinsic piezoelectric effect, the motion of ferroelectric domain walls, or through field-induced phase transitions. The enhanced piezoelectric properties observed in morphotropic solid solutions arise fr ...
