Effect of constrained sintering on the piezoelectric properties of PZT thick films

This thesis concerns the processing of thick lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films integrated with rigid substrates. The aim was to better understand the evolution of the microstructure, stress, and electrical properties of the films under constrained sintering conditions. This is an important process...
