Results for tag: "Ferroelectric Materials"

Ferroelectric materials are a class of materials used in chemical engineering that exhibit a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by the application of an external electric field. These materials are used in a variety of applications, such as capacitors, transducers, and actuators. Ferroelectric materials are also used in non-volatile memory devices, such as ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM). Ferroelectric materials are typically composed of a combination of metal oxides, such as barium titanate, lead zirconate titanate, and strontium bismuth tantalate. These materials are characterized by their high dielectric constants, low leakage currents, and high breakdown fields. The ferroelectric materials market is driven by the increasing demand for non-volatile memory devices, such as FRAM, and the growing demand for capacitors and transducers in consumer electronics. Some companies in the ferroelectric materials market include Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., TDK Corporation, Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation, and AVX Corporation. Show Less Read more
