Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are the guided waves that propagate along the top surface
of a material with wave vectors orthogonal to the normal direction to the surface. Based on …

In comparison to traditional bulky and rigid electronic devices, the human–machine
interaction (HMI) system with flexible and wearable components is an inevitable future trend …

All dielectric materials including ceramics, semiconductors, biomaterials, and polymers have
the property of flexoelectricity, which opens a fertile avenue to sensing, actuation, and …

Recently, piezoelectric thin films including zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminium nitride (AlN)
have found a broad range of lab-on-chip applications such as biosensing, particle/cell …

Flexible and wearable devices with the capabilities of both detecting and generating
mechanical stimulations are critical for applications in human–machine interfaces, such as …

Surface acoustic wave (SAW)–matter interaction provides a fascinating key for inducing and
manipulating novel phenomena and functionalities in two-dimensional (2D) materials. The …

The fabrication of a fully printed, lead‐free, polymer piezoelectric transducer is presented
and the characterization of its structural, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties at different …

Ultrasonic fields are able to exert forces on cells and other micron-scale particles, including
microbubbles. The technology is compatible with existing lab-on-chip techniques and is …

This paper reports a bimorph piezoelectric vibration energy harvester incorporating multiple
PZT layers. The advantage of a multi-layer generator is that it produces a higher power than …

We demonstrate an N 2 plasma-enhanced process for inducing (0001)-oriented ALD-grown
AlN on planar substrates. We evaluate the impact of {111}-textured Pt as a growth template …
