Fabrication and characterization of PZT nanorods and nanohexagons with applications in piezoelectric transducers
DownloadFall 2012
All ultrasound devices/sensors use piezoelectric transducers to generate/receive ultrasound. These transducers are made of Pb (Zr0.53Ti0.47) O3 (PZT) materials. In this article, we report a new way of fabricating PZT material with interesting nanorod and nanohexagon shapes. The PZT nanohexagons...

Micro and nanocantilever structures have been used as transducers for a plethora of sensor applications. These transducer technologies have similar shapes, but the material properties and geometrical optimizations needed to improve sensitivity are rather different. This is a record of two...
