Applications of Piezoelectric and Pyroelectric Thin Films: Opportunities for Langmuir-Blodgett Technology.

Abstract

Oriented films possessing dipole moments have seen increasing use of their piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties in pressure, acoustic, thermal and optical devices. The performance of these devices in many applications is enhanced by thin film technology. The current thin film technology and possible opportunities for the developing Langmuir-Blodgett thin film deposition technique is reviewed with an emphasis on applications. (Author).
