Influence of ZnO dopant on piezoelectric properties of potassium sodium niobate thin films

Lead zirconia titanate (PZT) is widely used due to its ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. However, toxic lead in PZT is extensively linked to the greenhouse effect. For this constraint, extensive research is being done to find new piezoelectric materials such as potassium sodium niobate (K0...
