Piezoelectric Properties of Ink-Jet–Printed Lead Zirconate Titanate Thick Films Confirmed by Piezoresponse Force Microscopy
by: Danjela Kuscer, Oleksandr Noshchenko, Hana Uršič, Barbara Malič Abstract: An ink consisting of Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 (PZT) particles with a median size of 170 nm and a narrow size distribution, in a dispersion of water and glycerol, and with a low viscosity and surface tension, was used for the fabrication of thick films by piezoelectric ink-jet […]
Control of the Crystalline Structure and Piezoelectric Properties of (K,Na,Li)(Nb,Ta,Sb)O3 Ceramics through Transition Metal Oxide Doping
by: Fernando Rubio-Marcos, Juan José Romero, José Francisco Fernández and Pascal Marchet Abstract: Divalent transition metal oxide doping of lead-free (K,Na,Li)(Nb,Ta,Sb)O3 piezoceramics is studied. Two different behaviors were observed independently of the doping metal: at low concentrations, the tetragonal structure is preserved, while at a high doping level, the material becomes orthorhombic. For any given doping […]
Piezoelectric fiber optic modulators and micro-tubes
by: Glen R. Fox, Claude A.P. Muller, Matthius Kuhn, Nava J. Setter, Nguyen Hong Ky, Hans G. Limberger Abstract: Miniature all-fiber phase modulators have been fabricated by integrating piezoelectric actuator coatings with telecommunication optical fibers. Evaporation and sputter deposition processes were used to grow thin film PbZrxTi1 – xO3 (PZT) and ZnO actuator structures directly on […]
Properties of Lead-Free Piezoceramics Based on Alkali Niobates
by: Erling Ringgaard,Thom Wurlitzer & Wanda W. Wolny Abstract: The market for piezoceramic components is dominated by lead zirconate titanate (PZT) materials containing more than 60 wt% lead. Since lead is a toxic heavy metal, it has become a great concern how to eliminate the use of PZT by replacing it by non-harmful materials while maintaining […]
Recent Advances in Piezoelectric Materials for Electromechanical Transducer Applications
by: Fei Li, Andrew Bell, Dragan Damjanovic, Wook Jo, Zuo-Guang Ye, Shujun Zhang Abstract: Ferroelectricity has made a huge impact on science and technology since Joseph Valasek (then a Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota) discovered it in 1920, a little longer than 100 years ago. Whereas Dr. Valasek’s original research was motivated by the […]
