Giant Piezoelectricity of Deformed Aluminum Nitride Stabilized through Noble Gas Interstitials for Energy Efficient Resonators

Abstract: Aluminum nitride (AlN) is a material for a wide range of microwave‐frequency electronics devices, because of its piezoelectric properties and high chemical stability. To improve the performance of AlN‐based devices, such as acoustic wave filters and energy harvesters, an increased piezoelectric modulus is desirable. Here, an increase of the piezoelectric modulus d33 of this material is achieved by ion implantation of noble gases. For a fluence of 3 × 1016 at cm−2 Ar+, a 30% increase of d33 of AlN is obtained. … Show more

“…These approaches, while general and promising, require significant further study for nonpiezoelectric energy harvesting to fully understand the opportunities and challenges therein. In particular, ion implantation has been well studied for inorganic materials, [145][146][147] and can lead to local strain gradients which induce flexoelectric charging. [148] However, in the case of polymers, the energy of these ions can damage the polymer itself leading to nanoscale carbonization and inclusions within a polymer matrix.…”

“…32 The effective piezoelectric coefficient can be calculated by the formula d 33,eff = h/V ac . 33 Light intensity was determined with a measuring unit (SMU) instrument (2636B system, Keithley). The light-related dielectric properties were measured using a precision impedance analyzer (E4990A, Keysight) with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 10 MHz under the parallel equivalent circuit model.…”

“…Below the resonant frequency of the cantilever beam, the amplitude ( h ) was obtained by using the cantilever beam sensitivity to convert the alternating voltages ( V ac ) of 1–9 V into distance, units in pm, minimizing the influence of electrostatic effects between the tip and the sample . The effective piezoelectric coefficient can be calculated by the formula d 33,eff = h / V ac …”

“…variations in its nanoscopic geometry must not negatively affect the device performance [4]. One approach to achieve this is the use of new low-dimensional, carbon-based materials like carbon nanotubes, graphene, or graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) [2][3][4][5][6][7]. A challenging task is the calculation of material properties in the mesoscopic range with significant quantum effects where (semi-)classical descriptions break down, and quantum approaches come along with enormous computational cost.…”
