Description
The objective of this equipment proposal is to acquire an advanced piezoelectric evaluation system with the unprecedented capability for comprehensive dielectric and piezoelectric characterizations of relaxor-PT single crystals, ferroelectric bulk and thin film materials. The characterizations can be conducted under multimodal stimulus including electrical, mechanical, thermal, optical and acoustic fields at a broad range of temperature (-100 C- 600 C), frequency (up to MHz), electric field (+/- 10 kV, 2 mA), pre-stress(> 10 MPa), and time (aging). The in-situ optical characterization environment will also be fulfilled, for the first time, by integrating the optical microscope into this system. With this tool, nano-domain engineering of relaxor-PT piezoelectric single crystals can be advanced toward novel multimode naval sensing applications.
