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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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 fatigued state of Pt-PZT-Pt ferroelectric capacitors (FECAP) was investigated by means of piezoelectric coefficient, polarisation charge and permittivity measurements. The suppression of switching polarisation P-r(s) appears to be the result of freezin ...
A novel piezoelectric thin-film accelerometer has been designed and its performance has been analysed. The piezoelectric thin film (PZT for example) is delineated into an array of pads to reduce the sensor capacitance. By filling the cavity around the PZT ...
The scenarios of the size effects which may account for the difference in the switching properties of ferroelectric thin films and bulk ferroelectrics are critically reviewed. It is shown that the two often used models (the Janovec-Kay-Dunn surface nucleat ...
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 ...
Piezoelectric and dielectric aging was studied in Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) thin films and bulk ceramics. It was found that piezoelectric aging in thin films obeys the logarithmic time dependence with the relative aging rate much higher than that of the dielectri ...
