  1. Dr. Wuttig’s Research onSMAs and MEMSA Brief Summary David Lunking ENMA490 Fall 2002

  2. Main Research Areas • SMAs and MEMS • NiTi on Si substrates • Ferromagnetics

  3. SMAs and MEMS • Actuation based on difference of thermal expansivities and martensitic transformation. • Limited by interface with substrate and between austenite and martensite phases. • Stiffness, strain depends on ratio of film to substrate, e.g. strain doubles when film/substrate ratio increases from 1/345 to 1/70. • Interface accommodation between phases

  4. NiTi on Si: Thin films • Faster response time than bulk NiTi. • Several % reversibility, vs. 100 to 1000 ppm for piezoelectrics and PZT. • Texturing dramatically affect properties – grain structure of recrystallized state. Better control increases max recoverable strain to >2%. • Interface quality determines efficiency of load transfer. • Ni50Ti50 sputtering: features directly dependent on surface quality – align to etch pits, etc.

  5. Film Substrate wf L tf ts g W (a) 1-D/1-D (b) 2-D/2-D (c) 1-D/2-D Patterned film • Thin strip pattern increases transformation induced deflection vs. planar film.

  6. Ferromagnetics • Shape memory conditions overlap with ferromagnetic conditions. • Martensitic transition also creates intermediate phases with magnetic anomalies – decreases elastic modulus, producing larger strains. • E.g. Fe-29.6 at% Pd – Texturing important: uniaxial fine grain dramatically increases magnetostriction. (Melt spinning method.)

  7. SMA and Magnetostriction • Ferroelastics – 104 microstrain. • Rare earth ferromagnetics • 103 microstrain. • Saturated magnetostriction in fields on the order of mT. • Research done on restrictions of substrate.
