High piezoelectricity in epitaxial BiFeO3 microcantilevers

Researchers from C2N, in collaboration with colleagues from Université de Picardie Jules Verne, have reported the first investigation of the piezoelectric response in epitaxial BiFeO3 MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system). The devices demonstrate larger electromechanical performance than that of state-of-the-art piezoelectric …
