The lead glycolate precursor has superior electrical properties than lead acetate trihydrate, suggesting that the lead glycolate precursor can possibly be used as a starting material mixed with other precursors such as titanium glycolate and sodium tris (glycozirconate) to produce lead titanate, lead zirconate, and lead zirconate titanate by sol-gel transition process. ∫∑§¥¬— àÕ ß“π«‘®—¬π’ȉ¥â»÷°…“°“√‡°‘¥ªØ‘°‘√‘¬“√–À«à“߇≈¥Õ–´’‡µ¥‰µ√‰Œ‡¥√µ ·≈–‡Õ∑‘≈’π‰°≈§Õ≈‚¥¬„™â “√ ‰µ√‡Õ∑‘≈’π‡µµ√–¡’π‡ªìπ§–µ–≈’ µå‡æ◊ËÕ„™â„π°“√º≈‘µ “√µ—Èßµâπ‚æ≈‘‡¡Õ√å§◊Õ‡≈¥‰°≈‚§‡≈µ [-PbOCH2CH2O-] ∑ ”§’Ë ≠™π— ¥Àπ‘ ßµ÷Ë Õ¢∫«π°“√𔉪„™à „π°“√ â ߇§√“–À— å “√‰¥Õ‡≈§µ√‘ °™π‘ ¥µ‘ “ßÊà ‰¥·°â à “√‡øÕ√‚√‰¥Õå ‡≈§µ√‘ °‘ “√·Õπ‰∑‡øÕ√å‚√Õ‘‡≈§µ√‘°·≈– “√‡æ’¬‚´‰¥Õ‘‡≈§µ√‘°®“°°“√ —߇§√“–Àå¥â«¬ “√ª√–°Õ∫ÕÕ°‰´¥å‡æ’¬ß ¢—ÈπµÕπ‡¥’¬«∑’ˇ√’¬°«à“ Oxide One Pot Synthesis (OOPS) ∑”„À≥⠓√µ—Èßµâπ‡≈¥‰°≈‚§‡≈µ¡’ ¡∫—µ‘∑“߉øøÑ“ ¥’°«à“‡≈¥Õ–´’‡µ¥‰µ√‰Œ‡¥√µ πÕ°®“°π’Ȭ—ß “¡“√∂𔉪„™âº ¡°—∫ “√µ—Èßµâπ™π‘¥Õ◊ËπÊ ‡™àπ ‰∑∑“‡π’¬¡ ‰°≈‚§‡≈µ·≈–‚´‡¥’¬¡∑√’ ‰°≈‚§‡´Õ√傧‡πµ‡æ◊ËÕº≈‘µ‡≈¥‰∑∑“‡πµ ‡≈¥‡´Õ√傧‡πµ·≈–‡≈¥‡´Õ√傧‡πµ ‰∑∑“‡πµ ‚¥¬ºà“π°√–∫«π°“√‚´≈-‡®≈∑√“π ‘™—Ëπ Key Words : OOPS, Sol-gel process, Dielectric materials §” ”§—≠ : OOPS °√–∫«π°“√‚´≈-‡®≈ «— ¥ÿ‰¥Õ‘‡≈§µ√‘° * Ph.D.

Abstract: The ban of lead in many electronic products and the expectation that, sooner or later, this ban will include the currently exempt piezoelectric ceramics based on Lead-Zirconate-Titanate has motivated many research groups to look for lead-free substitutes. After a short overview on different classes of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with large strain, this review will focus on Bismuth-Sodium-Titanate and its solid solutions. These compounds exhibit extraordinarily high strain, due to a field induced phase transition, which makes them attractive for actuator applications. The structural features of these materials and the origin of the field-induced strain will be revised. Technologies for texturing, which increases the useable strain, will be introduced. Finally, the features that are relevant for the application of these materials in a multilayer design will be summarized. Keywords: piezoelectric actuator; multilayer; lead-free; bismuth sodium titanate 1.

Abstract The aim of this thesis was to design and prototype a robust, low voltage RF MEMS switch for use in military phased arrays. The frequencies of interest for this work include very low frequencies down to DC operation with the upper limit extending to at least 40 GHz. This broad frequency requirement requires a robust high frequency design and simulation using microwave transmission lines. With the aid of researchers at the US Army Research Laboratory, co-planar waveguide (CPW) transmission lines were chosen and designed to provide a low loss, 50 ohm impedance transmission line for the switch. CPW designs allow for both series and shunt switch configuration with this work focusing on a series switch.

  • Intrinsic Piezoelectricity in Two-Dimensional Materials † † Karel-Alexander N
    Letter pubs.acs.org/JPCL Intrinsic Piezoelectricity in Two-Dimensional Materials † † Karel-Alexander N. Duerloo, Mitchell T. Ong, and Evan J. Reed* Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, United States ABSTRACT: We discovered that many of the commonly studied two-dimensional monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanoscale materials are piezoelectric, unlike their bulk parent crystals. On the macroscopic scale, piezoelectricity is widely used to achieve robust electromechanical coupling in a rich variety of sensors and actuators. Remarkably, our density-functional theory calculations of the piezoelectric coefficients of monolayer BN, MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2,WS2, WSe2, and WTe2 reveal that some of these materials exhibit stronger piezoelectric coupling than traditionally employed bulk wurtzite structures. We find that the piezoelectric coefficients span more than 1 order of magnitude, and exhibit monotonic periodic trends. The discovery of this property in many two- dimensional materials enables active sensing, actuating, and new electronic components for nanoscale devices based on the familiar piezoelectric effect. SECTION: Physical Processes in Nanomaterials and Nanostructures anoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and nanoscale adsorption20 or introduction of specific in-plane defects,21 N electronics are the final frontier in the push for paving the way to a strong miniaturization and site-specific miniaturization that has been among the dominant themes of engineering of familiar piezoelectric technology using graphene. technological progress for over 50 years. Enabled by We now report that a family of widely studied atomically thin increasingly mature fabrication techniques, low-dimensional sheet materials are in fact intrinsically piezoelectric, elucidating materials including nanoparticles, nanotubes, and (near- an entirely new arsenal of “out of the box” active components )atomically thin sheets have emerged as the key components for NEMS and piezotronics.

  • A Review on Mechanisms for Piezoelectric-Based Energy Harvesters

Received: 23 May 2018; Accepted: 28 June 2018; Published: 14 July 2018 Abstract: From last few decades, piezoelectric materials have played a vital role as a mechanism of energy harvesting, as they have the tendency to absorb energy from the environment and transform it to electrical energy that can be used to drive electronic devices directly or indirectly. The power of electronic circuits has been cut down to nano or micro watts, which leads towards the development of self-designed piezoelectric transducers that can overcome power generation problems and can be self-powered. Moreover, piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) can reduce the need for batteries, resulting in optimization of the weight of structures. These mechanisms are of great interest for many researchers, as piezoelectric transducers are capable of generating electric voltage in response to thermal, electrical, mechanical and electromagnetic input. In this review paper, Fluid Structure Interaction-based, human-based, and vibration-based energy harvesting mechanisms were studied. Moreover, qualitative and quantitative analysis of existing PEH mechanisms has been carried out. Keywords: piezoelectric; energy harvesting; vibrations; aeroelastic; smart material; fluid structure interaction; piezoelectricity; review 1. Introduction The phenomenon of energy harvesting based on piezoelectric transducers can be defined as the transformation of energy absorbed by a transducer from an operating environment to electric voltage that be used on the spot for actuation or stored in batteries for future usage [1–4].

  • Structure and Properties of Lead Zirconate Titanate Thin Films by Pulsed Laser Deposition GOH WEI CHUAN
    Structure and Properties of Lead Zirconate Titanate Thin Films by Pulsed Laser Deposition GOH WEI CHUAN (B.Sc (Hons), NUS) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctoral of Philosophy Department of Physics National University of Singapore 2005 Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisors, Prof. Ong Chong Kim and Dr. Yao Kui. I would like to thank Prof. Ong for giving me the opportunity to study and perform research work in the Center of Superconducting and Magnetic Materials (CSMM). His passion and enthusiasm in the search for understanding the underlying physics of the experiments have deeply influenced my mindset in conducting experiments and will continue to be my source of inspiration and guidance. Without Prof. Ong’s constant guidance and criticism, I would have lost my bearing in the vast sea of knowledge, and would not have reached this far. I would also like to express my greatest appreciation to Dr. Yao Kui in Institute of Material Research and Engineering (IMRE). His constant advice and meticulous attention to the theoretical and experimental details had deeply influenced my way of research both in designing experiments and interpreting the results. Without his supervision and encouragements in countless hours of his time, it would not be possible for me to complete my publications and thesis. For that I am in debt to him and will forever remember his advice when pursuing my future endeavors. I am indebted to my fellow colleagues in CSMM, IMRE and Department of Physics, NUS, including A/P Sow Chorng Haur, Xu Sheng Yong, Wang Shi Jie, Li Jie, Yang Tao, Tan Chin Yaw, Rao Xue Song, Chen Lin Feng, Yan Lei, Kong Lin Bing, Liu Hua Jun, Lim Poh Chong, Yu Shu Hui, Gan Bee Keen and all those have shared their time helping me and discussing with me in this project.
