Characterization Equipment for Electrooptics and Actuators

Abstract

The goal of the ONR sponsored grant is to enhance the characterization capabilities of the Electroceramic Group in the Ceramics Department of Clemson University in the areas of electrooptics and electromechanical actuators. These are core research areas, so the instrumentation acquired through this grant benefits the majority of current research projects. This report summarizes research which directly benefits from the acquired instrumentation. The new equipment strengthens dielectric, piezoelectric, and electrooptic characterization capabilities for both thin film and bulk devices. Dielectric and piezoelectric characterization of materials is especially useful in current studies of actuator devices such as Rainbow devices. Electrooptic characterization equipment is used mainly to study transparent PLZT thin film ceramics
