The broad implementation of such active MEMS has long been constrained by the inability to integrate materials with giant piezoelectric response, such as Pb(Mg 1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT). We synthesized high-quality PMN-PT epitaxial thin films on vicinal (001) Si wafers with the use of an epitaxial (001) SrTiO3 template layer with superior piezoelectric coefficients (e31}, year = {2011}, journal = {Science}, volume = {334}, number = {6058}, pages = {958-961}, publisher = {American Association for the Advancement of Science}, issn = {00368075}, doi = {10.1126/science.1207186}, note = {cited By 262}, language = {eng}, }
