High Piezoelectric Longitudinal Coefficients in Sol-gel PZT Thin Film Multilayers

Paul Muralt, Antonia Neels, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Alex Dommann, Andrea Mazzalai, Nachiappan Chidambaram, Davide Balma

A five-layer stack of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films with Pt electrodes was fabricated for potential applications in nanoactuator systems. The 1 mu m thick PZT films were deposited by a sol-gel technique, the platinum electrodes by sputtering. Th ...

We report the qualitative study of the influence of both elastic compliances and higher order terms of Landau free energy potential on the phase diagram of Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O-3 thin films by using a single domain Landau theory. Although the impact of elastic ...

PZT thin films for MEMS devices

Andrea Mazzalai

The recent progress in synthesis and integration of highly piezoelectric lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) thin films onto silicon substrates are paving the way for new, more efficient and faster devices in micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). In compariso ...

Comparison of Lead Zirconate Titanate Thin Films for Microelectromechanical Energy Harvester With Interdigitated and Parallel Plate Electrodes

Paul Muralt, Andrea Mazzalai, Nachiappan Chidambaram, Davide Balma

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films on insulator-buffered silicon substrates with interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) have the potential to harvest more energy than parallel plate electrode (PPE) structures because the former exploit the longitudinal pie ...

Measurement of effective piezoelectric coefficients of PZT thin films for energy harvesting application with interdigitated electrodes

Paul Muralt, Andrea Mazzalai, Nachiappan Chidambaram

Interdigitated electrode (IDE) systems with lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films play an increasingly important role for two reasons: first, such a configuration generates higher voltages than parallel plate capacitor-type electrode (PPE) structures, a ...

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers2012

The role of long-range strain interactions on domain wall dynamics is explored through macroscopic and local measurements of nonlinear behavior in mechanically clamped and released polycrystalline lead zirconate-titanate (PZT) films. Released films show a ...

Theoretical and Experimental Study of Piezoelectric Modulated AlN Thin Films for Shear Mode BAW Resonators

Evgeny Milyutin

The use of acoustic resonators for sensors application has opened a new branch in research and applications of piezoelectric materials and devices. The first generation of such sensors is constituted by the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) based on AT-cut ...

Strain-modulated piezoelectric and electrostrictive nonlinearity in ferroelectric thin films without active ferroelastic domain walls

Dragan Damjanovic

In contrast to usual assumptions, it is shown that even when ferroelastic domain walls are inactive or absent, the motion of ferroelectrically active interfaces in ferroelectric materials contributes, at subcoercive electric fields, not only to the polariz ...

AIN Thin Film Structures for High-Q Resonators

Alvaro Artieda

The development of wireless and mobile communication in the last decade led to the elaboration of new components based on thin films with continually increasing performance and reduced fabrication cost. A fundamental element for mobile communication is the ...
