Hello,

        1/To measure the reverse piezoelectric coeffience d33 of "a layer" you
have
to make a sandwich of it, between two elctectods on a thick substrate (2mm)
you can apply a AC voltage (frequency f0) to the layer and you measure the
displasment of the top surface with a calibrated AFM or interferometer. For
the AFM method, you have to use the A-B signal from the photodetector with
the frequency f0, ie filtered with an lock-in amplifier.

        2/It exists a methode to measure the direct piezoelectric coefficient
e31
on which you collect the charges created by the piezo on the electrode
during the vibration on a cantilever covered with the piezoelectric
material.

Hi all,

I am planning to measure the piezoelectricity of ZnO, but I just know a
bit about this kind of measurement. If you are familiar with this
measurement, please give me some suggestions. Thank you very much.

Jenny X. Huang
