Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The research will involve the preparation of ferroelectric ceramic wafers which must be finished to a high standard of flatness and surface quality. These will be used for:1. Studies of the effects of damage in ferroelectrics.2. Fabrication of piezoelectric and pyroelectric devices for microsystems.The research will also involve the preparation of single crystal substrates for ferroelectric thin film growth.In addition the research will involve the preparation of metal and polymeric substrates for depositing nano-dimensional multi-layer coating systems offering improved damage tolerance through superlattice structures. This facility will also support existing EPSRC contracts in the development of multi-component thin film sensors where substrate preparation is a priority.
