Summary
The objectives of the module are: 1) to understand the physical foundations of systems specific to the fields of sensors and actuators with a particular emphasis on active materials (dielectric, magnetic, magneto-electric), in particular in thin films, nanostructured and functionalized for micro- and nano-scale applications, 2) learn to establish specifications, choose a technology, choose manufacturing methods, design, characterize and build a solution that meets specifications in different application areas of intelligent systems and environments. Short program: - Introduction to micro-nano-systems and their roles in intelligent systems and environments - Active dielectric materials: Polarization mechanisms, Piezoelectricity mechanisms and models, Electrostriction, Pyroelectricity and Ferroelectricity. - Magnetic active materials: Mechanisms of magneto-elastic interactions (exchange and spin-orbital interactions, magnetic order, giant magnetostriction, magneto-mechanical coupling), Magnetic and structural phase transitions induced by magnetic field, giant nonlinearities, ... - Multi-ferroic / Magneto-electric materials. - Applications: Micro-sensors (pressure, accelerometers, gyroscopes, biosensors, etc.), micro-actuators (micro-pumps, microvalves, micro-motors, microswitchs, etc.), ultrasonic transducers and PMUTs, functional electronics (tunable and reconfigurable components and circuits ) ...
Educational goals
By the end of the course, the student will be able to: - Understand the concepts and formalism of active materials - To study theoretically, numerically and experimentally the active properties of ferroic materials (magnetic and dielectric) - To link the properties of ferroic materials to their technological applications - To design micro-sensors and micro-actuators based on active materials for intelligent systems and environments
