"This study was motivated by the need for biocompatible, self-sustaining energy systems to power implantable medical devices ...

Under room temperature, a 3 kV/mm electric field, and 1 Hz conditions, the material demonstrated an unprecedented effective piezoelectric coefficient exceeding 6,300 pm/V. Using a combination of ...

The resulting surface deformation is detected by the AFM tip as a vertical deflection, which is proportional to the local piezoelectric coefficient and polarization orientation. By scanning the AFM ...

It is widely used in sensors, actuators, and transducers due to its high piezoelectric coefficients and excellent electromechanical coupling. PZT can be fabricated into various shapes and sizes, ...
