Enhanced electro-mechanical coupling of TiN/Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 thin film electrostrictor

Gadolium doped ceria, Gd:CeO2 (CGO), have recently been shown to possess an exceptional high electrostriction coefficient (Q), which is at the least three orders of magnitude larger than the best performing lead-based electrostrictors, e.g. Pb(Mn1/3Nb2/3)O3. Herein, we show that CGO thin films fabri...
