Composites in which particles of ferroelectric ceramic phase are randomly dispersed in a polymeric matrix are of interest because of flexibility, conformability, and ease of processing. However, their piezoelectric properties are rather low, unless very hi ...

Ferroelectric materials, upon electric field biasing, display polarization discontinuities known as Barkhausen jumps, a subclass of a more general phenomenon known as crackling noise. Herein, we follow at the nanoscale the motion of 90 degree needle domain ...

We investigate optical absorption spectra obtained through time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) based on nonempirical hybrid functionals that are designed to correctly reproduce the dielectric function. The comparison with state-of-the-art GW ...

Dielectric Actuation Techniques at the Nanoscale: Piezoelectricity and Flexoelectricity

Kaitlin Marie Howell

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 ...

Study of self-sensing actuation strategies for quasi-static piezoelectric actuators

Yves Perriard, Louis Antoine Masson

Self-sensing actuation in piezoelectric actuators has been a growing research topic since 1992, with two main approaches having been identified: either by evaluating the dielectric displacement field within the piezoelectric through a measurement bridge, e ...

Al0.83Sc0.17N Contour-Mode Resonators With Electromechanical Coupling in Excess of 4.5%

Paul Muralt, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andrea Lozzi

In this paper, we demonstrate the fabrication of contour-mode resonators (CMRs) with Al0.83Sc0.17N as a piezoelectric layer. Moreover, we assess the electromechanical coupling and the maximum achieved quality factor from 150 to 500 MHz. In comparison to pu ...

Modeling Dielectric Constant Variability in Aggregate Polymers from CV Measurements

Marco Mattavelli, Jean-Michel Sallese, Catherine Dehollain, Diego Ruben Barrettino

Recently a new technique based on capacitive sensing has been developed and used to estimate the amount of moisture in polymers by means of the deviation of the dielectric constant. This technique is expected to be used for in-line monitoring of aggregate ...

Performance of Piezoelectric MEMS Microphones

Iwan Mohamed Jaber

This semester project deals with the study of at fully clamped plates with various geome- tries (circular and square), piezoelectric properties and uniformly distributed load (normal to the surface). The stress distribution is analyzed in order to obtain a ...

We present an implicit solvation approach where the interface-between the quantum-mechanical solute and the surrounding environment is, described by a fully continuous permittivity built up with atomic-centered "soft" spheres. This approach combines many o ...

A silicon photonic non-reciprocal isolator/circulator system with time-dependent permittivity tensor is demonstrated. In addition to being broadband and low loss, the architecture is scalable to achieve high extinction ratio with reconfigurable isolation p ...
