Demonstration of ultra-high speed piezoelectric thin film with nanodomain structure

Thursday, December 22, 2011 - 08:03 in Physics & Chemistry

The Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute, Tokyo Institute of Technology, the National Institute for Materials Science, and Kyoto University confirmed for the first time in the world that it is possible to achieve ultra-high speed switching in a time of 200 nanoseconds with a new piezoelectric thin film which possesses micro regions called “nanodomains.” The new material is expected to enable higher speeds in operation changes (switching).
