In this study, the phase transition behaviors of lead-free (Na_1/2Bi_1/2TiO₃)_(1-x)-(BaTiO₃)_x (NBT-BT) are investigated by using Brillouin spectroscopy. The elastic properties, sound velocity and absorption coefficient of NBT-BT are characterized as a function of temperature along different crystallographic axes. The temperature dependences of the elastic constants of NBT-BT near the morphotropic phase boundary are determined for the first time. The unpoled NBT-BT single crystals exhibits the typical relaxor behaviors, presenting broad acoustic and dielectric anomalies. The application of electric field induced discontinuous changes in the elastic properties at ~110℃, which indicates field-induced phase transition occurred. The electric field also changes the dielectric constant from more relaxor-like to ferroelectric-like dielectric behavior.

Global effort has resulted in tremendous progress with energy harvesters that extract mechanical energy from ambient sources, convert it to electrical energy, and use it for systems such as wrist watches, mobile electronic devices, wireless sensor nodes, health monitoring, and biosensors. However, harvesting a single energy source only still pauses a great challenge in driving sustainable and maintenance-free monitoring and sensing devices. Over the last few years, research on high-performance mechanical energy harvesters at the micro and nanoscale has been directed toward the development of hybrid devices that either aim to harvest mechanical energy in addition to other types of energies simultaneously or to exploit multiple mechanisms to more effectively harvest mechanical energy. Herein, we appraise the rational designs for multiple energy harvesting, specifically state-of-the-art hybrid mechanical energy harvesters that employ multiple piezoelectric and triboelectric mechanisms to efficiently harvest mechanical energy. We identify the critical material parameters and device design criteria that lead to high-performance hybrid mechanical energy harvesters. Finally, we address the future perspectives and remaining challenges in the field.

[ $Ba_2NaNb_5O_{15}$ ]은 orthorhombic tungsten bronze 결정구조를 갖는 강유전체로서, 단결정의 경우 $LiNbO_3$에 비해 우수한 비선형 전광계수 값을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 또한 주목할만한 초전, 압전, 강유전특성을 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다른 강유전체박막에 비하여 상대적으로 연구가 덜 이루어진 BNN 박막을 세라믹 타겟을 사용하여 이온빔 보조 증착법을 사용하여 제조하였으며, $Ar/O_2$ 분위기에서 증착된 BNN 박막에 대한 결정화 및 배향 특성을 고찰하였고, 이에 따른 전기적 특성의 변화를 살펴보았다. 연구에 사용된 기판은 $Pt(100)/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si(100)$이었으며, 이온빔 보조 증착법에서 보조 이온빔의 에너지를 $0{\sim}400eV$로 변화 시키며 BNN 박막을 증착한 후, 열처리하였다. BNN 박막의 전기적 특성은 MFM 박막 커패시터의 형태로 제조하여 강유전 특성에 대해 살펴보았다.

The localization of manufacturing technique development is actualizing for low cost with supplies of display devices. We need more high cutting technique because consumers want flat glasses of various sizes. Recently, most general two methods are normal wheel cutting and laser cutting, but both of them have some faults. First, the wheel cutting has cracks and sharp edges of sections. Second, it is easy for laser cutting to cut curved lines. however, it has thermal damage and low traverse speed. I suggest a new cutting method by high-wave frequency vibration wheel cutting(HFVC), which is good for quality improvement. Vertical cracks and crack depth is observed, after HFVC. When the average of the crack depth is $30{\mu}m$ and the average of the wallner liner depth is $200{\mu}m$, it has the most high quality of the sections in this experiment. As a result, when we consider between the normal wheel cutting method and the HFVC method, the latter has low cracks and good quality.

We report on the development of a Piezoelectric valvc that is designed to have a high reliability for fluid control systems, such as mass flow control, transportation and chemical analysis. The valve was fabricated using a MCA(multilayer ceramic actuator), which has a low consumption power, high resolution and accurate control. The fabricated valve is composed of MCA, a valve actuator die and an seat die. The design of the actuator dic was done by FEM(finite element method) modeling, respectively. And, the valve seat die with 6 trenches was made. and the actuator die, which possible to optimize control to MCA, was fabricated. After Si-wafer direct bonding between the seat die and the actuator die, MCA was also anodic bonded to the scat/actuator die structure. PDMS(poly dimethylsiloxane) sealing pad was fabricated to minimize a leak-rate. It was also bonded to scat die and stainless steel package. The flow rate was 9.13 sccm at a supplied voltage of 100 V with a 50 % duty ratio and non-linearity was 2.24 % FS. From these results, the fabricated MCA valve is suitable for a variety of flow control equipments, a medical bio-system, semiconductor fabrication process, automobile and air transportation industry with low cost, batch recess and mass production.

Recent advances in low-power sensors and transmitters are driving the search for standalone power sources that utilize unused ambient energy. These energy harvesters can alleviate the issues related to the installation and maintenance of sensors. Particularly piezoelectric energy harvesters, with the ability to convert ambient mechanical energy into useful electricity, have received significant attention due to their high energy density, low cost and operational stability over wide temperature and pressure conditions. In order to maximize the generated electrical power, the natural frequency of the piezoelectric energy harvester should be matched with the dominant frequency of ambient vibrations. However, piezoelectric energy harvesters typically exhibit a narrow bandwidth, thus, it becomes difficult to operate near resonance under broadband ambient vibration conditions. Therefore, the resonating of energy harvesters is critical to generate maximum output power under ambient vibration conditions. For this, energy harvesters should have broadband natural frequency or actively tunable natural frequency with ambient vibrations. Here, we review the most plausible broadband energy harvesting techniques of the multi-resonance, nonlinearity, and self-resonance tuning. The operation mechanisms and recent representative studies of each technique are introduced and the advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. In addition, we look into the future research direction for the broadband energy harvester.

Expressions for the displacement of a bimorph, one end fixed and the other free, has been introduced when sinusoidal inputs were applied to the ceramic plates on a thin metal plate. Maximum displacements at the free end and strains at the position of strain gage attached were measured when various wave forms, voltages, and frequencies were applied to the bimorph whose length is 6.6[cm], width 2.5[cm], and thickness 0.0365[cm]. Under the constant voltage ( $70[V_{peak}]$ ), the strains and the displacements at the free end were larger than the case of the sinusoidal input when the square wave was applied and were smaller when triangular wave. It was shown that the displacements at the free end and the strains of the gage position were increased as the applied voltage in the range of $30-90[V_{peak}]$ and effective length were increased. And it was also found that the resonant frequency of a bimorph was decreased as its effective length was increased, and that the displacements and the strains were maximum at the resonant frequency.

Aging phenomena of 0.2PMN-0.8PZT multilayered ceramic actuators(MCA) have been investigated at the room temperature. The piezoelectric materials were synthesized as conventional ceramic process, and MCA were fabricatedby tape casting methods. The crystalline structures and lattice parameters were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, showing the structure was tetragonal and c/a was about 1.01. And, the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient keff and pseudo-piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$were measured. Variable unipolar electric fields, $2{\sim}4kV/mm$, were applied to MCh to investigate the aging characteristics. After 2 kV/mm unipolar electric field, keff and $d_{33}$ were 0.454 and 4.44 respectively. The measured and simulated values using for aging phenomena analysis, had a good fit to the linear logarithmic stretched exponential law.

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Lead-free $(1-x)(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})TiO_3-xBiFeO_3$ceramics prepared by a conventional solid state reaction method were investigated in the range of x = 0~10 mol%. Piezoelectric coefficient was increased from 31 pC/N at x = 0 mol% to 64 pC/N at x = 6 mol% then decreased with increasing x. Electromechanical coupling factor ($K_p$) was increased up to 0.18 at x = 10 mol%. On the other hand, mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) was decreased. Grain size was not much changed with various x and a single perovskite with tetragonal symmetry was maintained at all compositions forming a solid solution between $(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})TiO_3$ and $BiFeO_3$. Depolarization temperature ($T_d$) was gradually decreased with increasing x from $302^{\circ}C$ at x = 0 to $245^{\circ}C$ at x = 10 mol%.
