Piezoelectric
materials produce electric charges on their surfaces as a consequence
of applying mechanical stress. They are used in the fabrication of a
growing range of devices such as transducers (used, for example, in
ultrasound scanning), actuators (deployed in such areas as vibration
suppression in optical and microelectronic engineering), pressure sensor
devices (such as gyroscopes) and increasingly as a way of producing
energy. Their versatility has led to a wealth of research to broaden the
range of piezoelectric materials and their potential uses. Advanced
piezoelectric materials: science and technology provides a comprehensive
review of these new materials, their properties, methods of manufacture
and applications.
After an
introductory overview of the development of piezoelectric materials,
Part one reviews the various types of piezoelectric material, ranging
from lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezo-ceramics, relaxor ferroelectric
ceramics, lead-free piezo-ceramics, quartz-based piezoelectric
materials, the use of lithium niobate and lithium in piezoelectrics,
single crystal piezoelectric materials, electroactive polymers (EAP) and
piezoelectric composite materials. Part two discusses how to design and
fabricate piezo-materials with chapters on piezo-ceramics, single
crystal preparation techniques, thin film technologies, aerosol
techniques and manufacturing technologies for piezoelectric transducers.
The final part of the book looks at applications such as high-power
piezoelectric materials and actuators as well as the performance of
piezoelectric materials under stress.
With
its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors
Advanced piezoelectric materials: science and technology is a standard
reference for all those researching piezoelectric materials and using
them to develop new devices in such areas as microelectronics, optical,
sound, structural and biomedical engineering.
