Accurate measurement of the piezoelectric coefficient of thin films by eliminating the substrate bending effect using spatial scanning laser vibrometry [PDF]
One of the major difficulties in measuring the piezoelectric coefficient d(33,f) for thin films is the elimination of the contribution from substrate bending.

Effect of sintering on the piezoelectric properties and microstructure of lead free (Ba1-xCaxZr0.1Ti0.9O3) (x=0.065) ceramics [PDF]
In this work, pellet samples of barium calcium zirconate titanate (Ba1-xCaxZr0.1Ti0.9O3, x=0.065) were prepared using solid state reaction route with double sintering. The structural and piezoelectric properties were measured.

Correlation between electric-field-induced phase transition and piezoelectricity in lead zirconate titanate films [PDF]
We observed that electric field induces phase transition from tetragonal to rhombohedral in polycrystalline morphotropic lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films, as reported in 2011 for bulk PZT.

Study of orientation effect on nanoscale polarization in BaTiO3 thin films using piezoresponse force microscopy [PDF]
We have investigated the effect of texture on in-plane (IPP) and out- of plane (OPP) polarizations of pulsed-laser-deposited BaTiO3 thin films grown on Pt and La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) buffered Pt electrodes.
