U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Study of Physico-Chemical and Electrical Properties of Ferroelectric Thin Films

这个为期三年的奖项支持北卡罗来纳州立大学的Angus Kingon和奥赛巴黎大学的Bernard Agius在凝聚态物理方面的美法合作研究。他们的研究目的是研究铁电薄膜在先进技术中的应用。他们将研究薄膜加工的材料集成在薄膜器件中的应用，以及微观结构对基本性能的影响。该项目汇集了互补的美国和法国在薄膜生长和表征方面的专业知识。铁电薄膜在电容器材料、滤波器、压力传感器和其他器件中具有潜在的应用前景。

This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in condensed matter physics between Angus Kingon at North Carolina State University and Bernard Agius at the University of Paris, Orsay. The objective of their research is to study the use of ferroelectric thin films in advanced technologies. They will investigate materials integration of thin films processing with regard to use in thin-film devices, and the impact of microstructure on fundamental properties. This project brings together complementary U.S. and French expertise in thin film growth and characterization. Ferroelectric films have potential applications in capacitor materials, filters, pressure sensors and other devices.
