Abstract

The dielectric and piezoelectric response of sol gel based films and composite coatings is affected by the choice of process, gel composition, thermal cycle, processing atmosphere and poling conditions. Important general factors for thin films are the crystallization kinetics and the effects of residual carbon, while a new dielectric technique allows poling methods to be evaluated.
