Fundamentals of Piezoelectric Sensorics

Abstract

Among the wide variety of the piezoelectric (and ferroelectric) materials known up to now, only very few of them are used in the technical applications for piezoelectric test and measurement devices. These days, synthetic piezoelectric crystals (e.g. contrary to the natural quartz), ceramics, polymer sheets and thin/thick films could be applied in transducers, actuators and sensors. Mainly the number of newly discovered ferroelectric materials grows rapidly after World War II. New technologies and materials are being developed to integrate piezoelectric (ferroelectric) materials in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). Electronic circuits are being integrated in one miniaturized electronic part. Ferroelectric ceramic materials are commercially available and widely used today due to their competitive prices and good material properties. Together with the homogeneous systems (crystals and polymers) also the non-homogeneous electromechanical systems are under investigation. Along with piezoelectric ceramics and thin/thick films mainly the piezoelectric composites are widely studied for various applications.
