Piezoelectric-excited PEMC sensors

The sensor is illustrated schematically in Fig. 1. The piezoelectric-excited millimeter-sized cantilever (PEMC) sensor is a macro-cantilever that comprises piezoelectric layer (lead zirconate titanate PZT) layer bonded to a nonpiezoelectric layer of a few millimeters in length and 1 mm in width (9,21). We use the direct piezoelectric effect to excite the cantilever, and the same PZT film senses the resulting response. PZT film is bonded to a base glass... [Pg.74]
