  • Piezoelectric-ferroelectric actuator device
    Patent number: 8138658
    Abstract: An actuator device is disclosed. The actuator device comprises a stack of piezoelectric-ferroelectric active layers separated by surface electrodes. At least a few of the surface electrodes are independently addressable such that at least two active layers are biasable by different voltages. In an embodiment of the invention, at least a few of the voltages induce a nonlinear ferroelectric effect.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 28, 2009
    Date of Patent: March 20, 2012
    Assignee: Technion Research & Development Foundation Ltd.
    Inventors: Uri Kushnir, Oded Rabinovitch
