In this study, LIPCA-S2 actuator with a piezoelectric single crystal layer and a carbon/epoxy layer was designed and evaluated to increase actuation performance of piezo-composite unimorph actuator. A curvature change model generated by the induced strain of a piezoelectric layer was used to predict the tip displacement of the piezo-composite unimorph cantilever. However, we found that there was big difference between the predicted and the measured tip displacement of LIPCA-S2 cantilever actuator when we used the previous linear prediction model. A new prediction model considering the change of piezoelectric strain coefficient and elastic modulus for the compression stress variation of the PMN-29PT single crystal layer was used and it was found that the difference between the predicted and the measured tip displacement reduced considerably.

Rosen형 또는 적층 Rosen형과 같은 압전세라믹 변압기는 고전압, 고효율의 출력특성과 소형이라는 장점을 가지는 반면에, 온도에 따른 압전 특성의 변화가 심하다는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 이유로 압전 단결정과 같은 온도특성이 안정적인 재료를 이용한 변압기의 개발이 진 행되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 온도계수가 낮은 $LiTaO_3$ 단 결정$(X-112^\circ\;Y)$을 이용한 압전변압기를 제작 그 특성을 시뮬레이션 및 실험으로 해석하였다.

The piezoelectric single crystals used in piezoelectric transformers have a problem that power transfer capacity is comparatively low due to their high input impedance. In this study, we suggest a method to improve the power transfer capacity by reducing the high input impedance of the piezoelectric single crystal vibrator by connecting a capacitance increasing circuit to the electrical terminals of the piezoelectric single crystal vibrator where the circuit is a GIC (Generalized Impedance Converter) circuit using operational amplifiers. The result of measuring driving characteristics after applying the designed capacitance increasing circuit to the $128^{\circ}$ rotated Y-cut $LiNbO_3$ crystal vibrator confirmed that the input impedance decreased by 25 %, electromechanical coupling factor increased by 30 %, and the power transfer capacity increased by about 17 to 30 times in voltage conversion characteristics.

본 고에서는 고온센서용 압전체가 필요하고 실용화할 수 있는 다결정 압전세라믹스 및 박막재료가 요구되는 점을 감안하여 고온에서도 사용할 수 있는 단결정 $A_{2}$B$_{2}$O$_{2}$형의 성장과 그 전기적 특성 및 최근 개발을 시도하고 있는 다결정 $A_{2}$B$_{2}$O$_{2}$형 압전체에 대한 지금까지의 개발동향을 문헌소개와 함께 필자의 연구결과 일부도 보고하며 아울러 박막화의 가능성도 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, a new class of single-crystal piezoelectric materials such as lead metanibobate doped with lead titanate (PMN-PT) has been synthesized and were found to further enhance the electro-mechanical coupling factor compared to piezo-ceramic materials. This paper describes fabrication and evaluation of PMN-PT single crystal ultrasonic transducers for contact measurement of stainless steel that is one of the highly attenuative materials. The design conditions for ultrasonic transducer such as front matching layer between test materials and piezo-material and backing materials were investigated based on the simulation results by KLM model. The PMN-PT single crystal ultrasonic transducers with centre frequencies at 1 and 2.25 MHz were fabricated and their performances were evaluated.

Transducers for implantable hearing aids need to be small and to have good performance in frequency responses and vibration properties. From this viewpoint, we Proposed a multi-layer actuator with the piezoelectric single crystal, PMN-PT. for the implantable hearing aid. and verified its adequacy through finite element analyses and experiments. PMN-PT multi-layer actuator samples were fabricated by stacking fourteen layers of the PMN-PT crystal. Each layer were $0.2{\cal}mm$ thick and the actuator sample was $2.8{\cal}mm$ thick in total. We evaluated the performance of the PMN-PT actuator through impedance analyses and vibration displacement measurements, and compared the result with that of a PZT actuator. Results of all the process confirmed the feasibility of the PMN-PT actuator as a good transducer for an implantable hearing aid.

수열법으로 압전수정, 방해석 및 산화아연 단결정을 성장하고 각종 결함 및 성장된 단결정의 구조적, 화학적, 물리적 특성을 고찰하였다. 수열법은 직접 용융법으로 단결정을 성장할 수 없는 재료의 결정 성장에 많이 이용되며 수정의 경우, 융액의 점도가 매우 높고 유리화하는 성질이 있어 직접 용융으로 단결정을 성장할 수 없다. 방해석과 산화아연의 경우 용융하였을 때 분해되기 때문에 직접 용융법으로 단결정을 성장할 수 없어 수열법이 사용된다. 본 고찰에서는 수열법의 성장 원리와 성장 방법, 결함 검출 방법 및 물리적, 화학적 특성 측정 등을 다루었으며 또한 산업화 적용에 대하여 다루었다.
