  • Impact of Process Optimization and Composition on Thin Film BNKT Microstructure, Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Response

    Creator:
    Grove, Kyle M.
    Abstract:
    Recent changes in legislation restricting lead content in waste streams produced during electronics manufacturing have inspired a strong push to develop alternative lead-free materials systems for piezoelectric applications. One lead-free piezoelectric material system, (100-X)Bi₀.₅Na₀.₅TiO₃-XBi₀.₅K₀.₅TiO₃ (BNKT), has shown promising properties in bulk research, however, difficulties have arisen in the development of...

  • Reaction Pathways of Oxo-Hydroxo Group 5 Clusters to Metal Oxide Thin Films

    Creator:
    Mansergh, Ryan H.
    Abstract:
    Oxo-hydroxo Group 5 metal clusters are an untapped resource to study and advance aqueous solution processing of metal oxide thin films. The tetramethylammonium (TMA) hexatantalate salt (TMA6[H2Ta6O19]) yields dense Ta2O5 films (~95% of the bulk ß-Ta2O5 density) with atomically smooth surfaces (<4 Å root mean square surface roughness). This same...
