摘要:
A ferroelectric surface wave transducer device comprising an unpoled ferroelectric substrate having a substantially sinusoidal poled region at a surface thereof. A metal plate electrode is disposed on the opposing surface of the substrate. In operation an A.C. voltage applied across the two electrodes gives rise to a surface elastic wave in the substrate. Also disclosed is a method of producing a surface wave transducer of the type described. A pair of interdigitated metal electrodes are applied to a surface of an unpoled ferroelectric substrate. A poling potential is applied between the electrodes, preferably while the substrate is heated. The interdigitated electrodes are then removed and a metal plate electrode is applied over the region where the interdigitated electrodes had been. Finally, another metal electrode is applied to the opposite surface of the substrate. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the interdigitated electrodes are in the form of a moveable fixture. The fixture is moved into contact with an unpoled substrate of ferroelectric material and, after the poling potential is applied, it is moved out of contact with the substrate. In this manner the fixture can be used repeatedly to selectively pole ferroelectric substrates upon which simple plate electrodes are then applied.

A ferroelectric Phase III potassium nitrate (KNO.sub.3) which is stable at ambient temperatures is produced in accordance herewith by crystallizing reagent grade KNO.sub.3 under vacuum and heat and, then, equilibrating the resultant to ambient conditions. This stable Phase III KNO.sub.3 which is of crystalline structure exhibits visual and optical effects when subjected to mechanical and electrical alteration of the polarization vector of the crystalline structure, thus, rendering it useful in the manufacture of transparent electrodes by interposing this crystalline material between the electrodes, and the like. Furthermore, ferroelectric thin film memory arrays can be produced herefrom.

The invention relates to high-capacity memory devices permitting non-destructive reading. The memory comprises a plate made of ferroelectric material with a very thin metallized film thereon to absorb the radiation from a laser beam, and a thicker metallized film. The source allows the orientation of all the ferroelectric domains. A second source, in combination with laser scanning, permits writing into the memory device. Reading is effected by scanning with the laser and detecting the direction of current flow through a resistor 20. The device is useful in computers.

An apparatus is described wherein a multi-layered structure utilizing a plurality of electret assemblies provides an electrical pulse in response to a mechanical force. In one form the electret apparatus includes a plurality of spaced electrically connected conductors and electret assemblies movably mounted between the conductors. The electret assemblies are urged against one side of the conductors which then are exposed to an electric field which is reversed when the electret assemblies are driven to the other side of the conductors under a mechanical force to generate an electrical pulse. In another embodiment a spiral electret structure is formed with spring stock conductors. When the spiral structure is wound tight and then suddenly released, an electrical pulse of energy is produced.

摘要:
Dielectric material is polarized or electrified so as to form an electret which is suited for use in a microphone or other transducer by the method which includes the steps of forming an intimate contact between the dielectric material and a conductor material and then separating these when the dielectric is cool, preferably while maintaining an electrical connection between conductors on the two surfaces of the dielectric during the separation step, without the employment of an external electric field.
