Compatibility of BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 with Shape Memory Alloy TiNi
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 February 2011
Abstract
Thin film layers of shape memory alloys and ferroelectric ceramics can produce a family of ‘smart’ heterostructures capable of performing both sensing and actuating functions. The compatibility of sol-gel processed BaTiO3 (BTO) and SrTiO3 (STO) thin films with shape memory effect TiNi substrates were investigated. Important issues in the synthesis of these active structures are the ability to generate the appropriate crystalline phases of each material while producing defect-free homogeneous high quality films.
