Ceramic transactions: Ferroic materials - design, preparation, and characteristics. Volume 43
- eds.
Ferroic materials have found application in both sensing and actuating devices such as detectors, high- and low-frequency transducers, capacitors, optical modulators, shutters, and photorestructive and electrostrictive devices. The application areas of ferroics in single-crystal, bulk ceramics, thin-film, and composite forms have been expanding quite rapidly in recent years. As a result, new materials design and fabrication techniques are needed to satisfy the new emerging applications of these smart materials and structures. With the drive of new national and international initiatives in the areas of advanced materials and technology, smart structures and systems, environmental beneficiation programs, etc., it is highly desirable to review and project the direction in materials design, preparation, and sensing properties. The decision of the American Ceramic Society to organize the first PAC RIM meeting, held in Honolulu, HI, November 7-10, 1993, gave an opportunity to review these topics in depth by bringing together leading researchers and device engineers from universities, national laboratories, and industry. This volume is a collection of selected papers from three closely related symposia on ferroelectric thin films, materials for intelligent/smart systems and adaptive structures, and processing of thin films. The papers have been organized into three broad categories: Thin Films: Preparation and Characteristics, Design and Properties of Materials, and sensor Characteristics. All the papers were reviewed through a peer review process.
