Chemical Solution Deposition and Advanced Characterization of Pb-free, Bi-based, Piezoelectric Thin Films

Creator:: Mason, Ashley D.
Abstract:: Piezoelectric materials convert mechanical strain into a dielectric displacement, as well as the converse, allowing these materials to be used as sensors, actuators, and transducers. Currently, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is the primary material used in these applications. Due to environmental toxicity and safety concerns associated with Pb, development of...
