Abstract
Polycrystalline LiNbO3 films on the stainless steel substrates fabricated by rf cathode sputtering with no preliminary polarisation had the effective longitudinal piezoelectric modulus d33=(6.0÷8.5)·10-12 CN. This value is 60-80 percent of d33 for the poled ceramics of the same composition and 30-40 percent of d33 for the ceramics determined from the dij values for a single crystal (a superficial estimation). The high “self-polarisation” of LiNbO3 films first observed by Foster may be a result of their growth in a ferroelectric phase. Some characteristics of models of the dynamic strain sensors based on LiNbO3 films are described
