Culture and international trade credit risk management: a qualitative exploration of Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises
Creators: name: Zhou, Jiang
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The research adopts integrated, triangulated, multiple qualitative methods: focus groups, semi-structured interviews, field observation and document analysis. Informants include local suppliers of small to medium-sized enterprises. A combination of sequential, theoretical and snowball sampling has been used. Data analysis was performed through an iterative, hermeneutical approach, which incorporates coding, categorising, reflective interpreting and tabulating data, and developing explanatory theories and frameworks.

Various cultural factors have been discovered to be associated with Chinese suppliers’ ITCRM, including: 1) Chinese native cultural values such as guanxi (interpersonal relationship), renqing (reciprocal obligation), mianzi (face), baotuan (solidarity and cooperation), harmony, and forbearance; 2) cultural practices such as disregard of contracts; 3) beliefs such as locus of control.

The study reveals that there are six different cultural stances towards native cultural attributes that are taken by informants (‘maintaining’, ‘reflecting’, ‘eroding’, ‘opposing’, ‘minimising’ and ‘switching’). This study further explores the reasons and causes which account for these variations of adaptation by suggesting a process model. The model allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamic change in values of local suppliers when they are exposed to both foreign cultures and international business complexities.

This study also reveals that as a result of taking different cultural stances and values, local suppliers in China tend to demonstrate different practices and behaviours in their international trade credit decisions. These suppliers’ trading styles have been categorised as ‘conventional’, ‘bounded’, ‘stereotypical’, ‘conservative’, ‘rational’ and ‘pragmatic’.

Theoretically, this study contributes to a better understanding of intra-cultural variations, and the mechanism of intra-individual change towards cultural values. This study also contributes to an understanding of credit risk management in the international business context. Practical implications and suggestions for international trade practitioners are also discussed.

Troubles With Flexemes
Creators: name: Thornton, Anna M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: This paper investigates an aspect of the notion flexeme (French flexème), introduced by Fra-

din & Kerleroux (2003), Fradin (2003). After a brief review of how this concept developed in

these authors’ work, and of how these authors conceive of lexemes (Section 2), the relation

between flexemes and overabundance (Thornton 2011, 2012) is explored. Overabundance is

introduced in Section 3, and Section 4 is devoted to some case studies, from Italian and other

languages. It is shown that a single lexeme can map to more than one flexeme – and over-

abundance results from this mapping. Besides, it is shown that flexemes differing from each

other in parallel ways can have various relations with lexemes: in some cases, mapping to dif-

ferent flexemes distinguishes two lexemes that are homophonous in their citation form (e.g.,

Italian succedere1 ‘happen’ with pst.ptcp successo and succedere2 ‘succeed’ with pst.ptcp

succeduto), while in other cases flexemes that differ from each other in a way parallel to the

previous one map to a single overabundant lexeme (e.g., Italian perdere ‘lose’ with pst.ptcp

perso and perduto). I conclude that the distinction between lexemes and flexemes first pro-

posed by Fradin & Kerleroux (2003) and Fradin (2003), as well as their definition of lexeme,

based on semantic and constructional coherence rather than on inflectional coherence, is

useful even beyond the area of lexeme formation for which it was originally proposed.

How do Heads of House in an independent secondary school understand and evaluate pastoral care?
Creators: name: Taranto, Anthony Paul
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Teachers at secondary schools are quickly placed into roles to fulfil their many obligations to ensure a school runs smoothly. These responsibilities include the academic learning of the students and the successful delivery of a pastoral care program. Although these roles are closely related, school structures or responsibilities are frequently dichotomous, differentiating between the academic roles of teachers and their pastoral responsibilities and this can sometimes result in an obvious divide between the two very important sides of the school. Teachers, particularly Heads of House, find themselves fulfilling both roles at work. This research project involved conducting semi-structured interviews with Heads of House an independent school in order to examine their perceptions of pastoral care in school.

description: Det norske regelverket for eksport til Russland er på linje med de restriktive tiltakene innført av EU. Fem år etter har det skjedd viktige endringer i olje- og gassindustrien. Sanksjonene har således fungert som et insentiv til å styrke alliansen mellom Russland, Kina og India.
 I løpet av de siste fem årene har Russland, med statlig finansiering, begynt å utvikle egen offshore-teknologi, selv om dette aldri har vært en russisk topprioritering. De største selskapene mottar mesteparten av olje og gass fra virksomhet på land, og er særlig opptatt med å øke fortjenesten. De har begynt å legge press på boreentreprenørene for å redusere prisen på arbeidskraft.
 Samtidig fortsetter de gigantiske oljeselskapene å motta statlig støtte, og eksporterer olje og gass mot betaling i dollar. Imens har de interne prisene falt med cirka femti prosent på grunn av rubelens devaluering.

title: Theorising Turkish Gothic
title: national Identity, Ideology and the Gothic
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Bicakci Syed, Tugce
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2018

description: Despite increasing critical interest in Gothic in non-Western cultures,
      Turkish Gothic writing remains an undiscovered area of research within
      worldwide Gothic studies. My thesis fills this gap by bringing together
      Glennis Byron’s concept of ‘globalgothic’, historically informed
      understandings of the Gothic and Turkish national identity to theorise
      Turkish Gothic as a mode intimately linked to the ideological processes of
      Turkish identity construction. Central to this thesis is the understanding
      of Turkish national identity as a fragmented construct due to Turkey’s
      ambivalent relationship with the West over the centuries and its commonly
      referenced role as a bridge between the West and the East. Accordingly,
      the thesis begins by positioning Turkey in relation to its historical and
      cultural ties to the Western Gothic tradition. I reveal the origins of the
      multidirectional flows of globalgothic between Western and Turkish Gothic
      traditions, through the examination of selected works from British and
      American cultures depicting Turkish identity through a Gothic lens.
      Thereafter, taking particular times of political and social change in
      Turkey into account, I focus on novels and films from 1923 to 2017, with
      regards to their employment and transformation of Western Gothic tropes
      using discussions of Turkish national identity. I argue that Turkish
      Gothic manifests the nation’s anxieties concerning the in-betweenness of
      Turkish national identity and its ideological repercussions as being
      either Western and secular or Eastern and conservative. In doing so, the
      Gothic in Turkey interchangeably becomes a counternarrative for both
      ideologies, each demonising and undermining the other, and therefore
      representing the tension between two poles of the political spectrum in
      contemporary Turkey. As the definitions of Turkish national identity
      change according to the emerging political stresses in Turkey, Turkish
      Gothic will continue to haunt its audiences with the dark undersides of
      Turkishness.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Cet article est consacré à l’analyse des formes dites parasynthétiques, à la façon dont cette

analyse a évolué avec les modèles théoriques qui l’ont appréhendée, et à la manière dont, en

retour, elle a contribué à leur changement. L’évolution de l’analyse de la dérivation parasyn-

thétique peut en effet être perçue comme un indicateur des transformations et des progrès

des théories morphologiques et des modèles dérivationnels. Nous montrons notamment

comment les propositions successives pour l’analyse de ce phénomène ont conduit à un

assouplissement progressif des cadres théoriques, à partir des modèles morphémiques où

formes et sens sont totalement associés au sein des morphèmes, en passant par les lexèmes et

les Règles de Construction de Lexèmes (RCL) qui procèdent à une première séparation entre

les trois dimensions du lexème (forme, catégorie et sens), pour arriver aux modèles paradig-

matiques de la morphologie dérivationnelle où la relation binaire entre base et dérivé est

généralisée à des réseaux de lexèmes connectés à des réseaux de propriétés. Cette progres-

sion nous conduit, enfin, à notre objectif final : la présentation du modèle d’analyse construc-

tionnel ParaDis, dont la genèse résulte de l’aboutissement des transformations théoriques

successives ou parallèles qui ont façonné les différents courants en morphologie dérivation-

nelle. Les principes d’analyse de ParaDis combinent les principes formels qui sous-tendent

les RCL et la structure tridimensionnelle des lexèmes à une approche en réseau de la cons-

truction lexicale. A travers l’exemple de la préfixation en anti-, nous montrons comment

cette association originale fait de ParaDis un cadre qui dispose des propriétés et des clés

nécessaires pour analyser de manière simple et intuitive les constructions parasynthétiques.
Les Affixes Dérivationnels Ont-Ils Des Allomorphes ? Pour Une Modélisation De La Variation Des Exposants Dans Une Morphologie À Contraintes
Creators: name: Montermini, Fabio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Cet article traite des phénomènes de variation formelle en dérivation (écart entre la forme

attendue et la forme réellement observée pour un lexème dérivé) qui ne peuvent pas être

traités en termes de variation thématique, ce qui suggère que les exposants des constructions

morphologiques peuvent à leur tour être sujets à variation. Pour modéliser cette variation

des exposants, je propose d’étendre la notion de contrainte non seulement à une propriété

qui est spécifique à une langue donnée, mais également à une construction donnée. Les

exposants des constructions morphologiques sont alors eux-mêmes vus comme des (ensem-

bles de) contraintes qui interagissent avec les autres contraintes en jeu dans la formation des

lexèmes complexes. Chaque « allomorphe » d’un exposant est donc représenté comme une

contrainte qui, en tant que telle, peut être hiérarchisée par rapport aux autres, ce qui rend

compte de l’observation que certaines de ces variantes jouent un rôle de défaut, alors que

d’autres émergent uniquement dans des conditions particulières. Afin d’illustrer ce modèle,

je propose deux études de cas de constructions morphologiques de naissance ou développe-

ment récent. Il s’agit, d’une part, de la création de noms de locuteurs en -phone à partir

du nom d’une langue et la création de lexèmes avec un sens génériquement appréciatif /

superlatif en -issimo. Chacune de ces deux constructions est à son tour comparée à des con-

structions proches: la dérivation en -phone est comparée à la dérivation correspondante et

cognate de lexèmes en -fono en italien ; la dérivation en -issimo est comparée à la dérivation,

plus canonique, de superlatifs en ‐issime en français. Ces comparaisons mettent en lumière

le fait que des constructions formellement et sémantiquement similaires et qui ont la même

origine peuvent, dans des langues différentes ou dans la même langue à des époques et pour

des finalités différentes, développer des spécifications phonologiques différentes, ce qui se

traduit, dans le cadre adopté ici, par des ensembles de contraintes différentes et/ou agencées

différemment.

A Frame-Semantic Approach To Polysemy In Affixation
Creators: name: Plag, Ingo
name: Andreou, Marios
name: Kawaletz, Lea
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: One of the central problems in the semantics of derived words is polysemy. The most ad-

vanced theory of derivational semantics to date is the Lexical Semantic Framework devel-

oped by Lieber (2004 et seq.). This theory, however, does not have a straightforward answer

to the question of which kinds of meaning extensions are possible and which ones should

be impossible for a given derivative. This is all the more so for deverbal derivation, where

Lieber explicitly leaves open exactly what the ‘semantic body’ of verbs, i.e. (roughly) the

encyclopedic and cultural knowledge involved in interpretation, looks like Lieber (2004:

72)).

This paper tackles this problem by putting forward a new formal approach to derivational

semantics, i.e. frame semantics. In frame theory (Barsalou 1992a,b, Löbner 2013), frames are

complex structures which model mental representations of concepts. These representations

are typed, recursive attribute-value structures, where the attributes are functional relations,

assigning unique values to the concept they describe (see Petersen 2007). Using the appa-

ratus of this framework, we hypothesize that the semantics of a derivational process is de-

scribable as its potential to perform certain operations (such as metonymic shifts) on the

frames of its bases.

We propose a particular model of affixal polysemy in which attested readings of words of

a given morphological category result from indexation of particular elements of the frame-

semantic representation, combined with inheritance mechanisms. For deverbal nominaliza-

tions in English -ment, the shifts can target (syntactically) argumental and non-argumental

components. Different bases thus go along with different kinds of semantic shifts in their

derivatives. Given a particular verb class, possible readings of the respective derivatives are

predictable.
Word Formation In Lfg-Based Layered Morphology And Two-Level Semantics
Creators: name: Schwarze, Christoph
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: This article treats the problem of how the semantics of word formation can be accounted for

in terms of rules and representations. A comprehensive model of multilayered, lfg-based

morphology is proposed. It comprises four layers of representation: phonology, constituent

structure, functional feature structure and lexical semantics. The meaning of derived words is treated in the framework of two-level semantics. It is assumed that rules of word formation derive underspecified semantic forms, parting from which the actual meanings are construed by recourse to conceptual structure. The model is illustrated on the basis of three morphological processes: French é-prefixation, Italian denominal verbs of removal, and noun-to-verb conversion in French. The analyses of é-prefixation and of verbs of removal are taken from the literature; the study on noun-to-verb conversion is original work.

description: We report 18 new primary minima timing observations of the short-period eclipsing binary system NY Virginis. We combined these minima with previously published primary minima to update circumbinary exoplanet models in this system based on O-C timing variations. We performed a non-linear least-squares minimization search using a quadratic ephemeris and either one or two exoplanets. The only model with an acceptable fit includes a period derivative $\dot{P} = 2.83\times10^{-12}$ and two planets in eccentric orbits $e = 0.15,0.15$ with minimum masses 2.7 and 5.5 Jovian masses. Analysis of the orbit stability shows that this solution is stable for at least $10^8$ yr, but a small increase in eccentricity ($e\geq0.20$) for either planet renders the orbits unstable in less than $10^6$ years. A number of model parameters are significantly degenerate, so additional observations are required to determine planetary parameters with high statistical confidence.

title: Die Beziehungen zwischen Polen und der Ukraine
Creators: name: Klymenko, Lina
Year: 2009

description: Die Studie beschäftigt sich mit den ukrainisch-polnischen Beziehungen vom Systemwechsel in Polen und der Ukraine (1989 bzw. 1991) bis zur Gegenwert (2008) und geht dabei der Frage nach, wie der problemlösungsorientierte Interaktionsprozess in der internationalen Politik gesellschaftlich eingebettet ist. In der Analyse der Beziehungen zwischen der Ukraine und Polen wird auf die Zusammenhänge von drei Variablen der internationalen Politik, Akteure, Identitäten und Institutionen, eingegangen. Die Untersuchung bezieht staatliche, nicht-staatliche, internationale und transnationale Akteure ein, die aufgrund ihrer Identitäten in einem institutionellen Rahmen agieren. Die Wechselwirkung zwischen Akteuren, Identitäten und Institutionen wurde anhand der folgenden Interaktionsfelder zwischen der Ukraine und Polen analysiert: die ukrainisch-polnischen Beziehungen zwischen den Systemwechseln, die Auseinandersetzungen um das historische und kirchliche Erbe, sicherheitspolitische Herausforderungen im NATO-Kontext, die Beziehungen zwischen der Ukraine, Polen und der EU sowie die Rolle der Ukraine und Polens als Energietransitstaaten. Die Arbeit zielt darauf ab, empirisch-analytische Aussagen zu formulieren, die mit der Analyse der drei genannten Variablen zu einem besseren Verständnis der internationalen Politik beitragen.
description: The study is concerned with the Ukrainian-Polish relations since the regime change in Poland and Ukraine (in 1989 and 1991, respectively) up to the present day (2008), and addresses the question of how problem- and solution-oriented interaction in the international relations is societally embedded. The analysis of the Ukrainian-Polish relations tackles the correlation of three variables of the international relations: actors, identities, and institutions. The research includes state, non-state, international and transnational actors, all of which act on the basis of their identities in an institutional framework. The interdependency between actors, identities and institutions is examined considering the following interaction fields between Ukraine and Poland: the Ukrainian-Polish relations between the regimes changes, disputes over the historical and church heritage, security challenges in the context of NATO, the relations between Poland, Ukraine and the EU, and the role of Ukraine and Poland as energy transit states. The study aims at formulating empiric-analytical propositions that on the basis of the three chosen variables contribute to a better understanding of the international relations.

Specifically, we develop a qudit URB procedure that exploits unitary 2-designs. Furthermore, we show that our URB procedure is not simply extracted from the multi-qubit case by equating qudit URB to URB of the symmetric multi-qubit subspace. Our qudit URB is elucidated by using pseudocode, which facilitates incorporating into benchmarking applications.

Metalogues on the thickened ground: landscape production and urban morphologies
Creators: name: Monacella, Rosalea
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Could we consider urban morphologies as figures that emerge as ‘horizontal phenomena’? Could we consider urban morphologies as embedded within the complex systems of the city rather than assume they demarcate the city through an overlay of lines? Could the urban form then be considered as an affect which emerges from a dynamic thickened ground, creating a new landscape?

If landscapes are understood in terms of their connectability to the order of things in the universe (as, for example, in physics), where landscape’s connectability is a
reciprocation of forces between itself and its context at all scales, then each connection is a shared force, a received and distributed force. If the order of the landscape is inherent in its process of transformations, to what extent does this order produce the city?

This research aims to contribute to the discourse on Landscape Urbanism which is often positioned and grounded within the philosophical and scientific fields. However, it is argued that the ability to open up new possibilities, new ways of thinking and acting, lies in the act of design. This research, therefore, aimed to reveal these
possibilities through a structured design process which linked the disciplinary fields of Landscape Architecture and Architecture.

description: We give a limit theorem with respect to the matrices related to non-backtracking paths of a regular graph. The limit obtained closely resembles the $k$th moments of the arcsine law. Furthermore, we obtain the asymptotics of the averages of the $p^m$th Fourier coefficients of the cusp forms related to the Ramanujan graphs defined by A. Lubotzky, R. Phillips and P. Sarnak.

Efficient resonantly enhanced Mach-Zehnder optical modulator on lithium niobate
Creators: name: Nguyen, Thach
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Photonic links have been proposed to transport radio frequency (RF) signals over optical fiber. External optical modulation is commonly used in high performance RF-photonic links. The practical use of optical fiber to transport RF signals is still limited due to high RF signal loss. In order to reduce the RF signal loss, highly efficient modulators are needed. For many applications, modulators with broad bandwidths are required. However, there are applications that require only a narrow bandwidth. For these narrow-band applications, the modulation efficiency can be improved through the resonant enhancement technique at the expense of reduced bandwidth.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate highly efficient Mach-Zehnder optical modulators (MZMs) on Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) with resonant enhancement techniques for narrow-band RF-photonic applications. This work focuses in particular on analyzing the factors that affect the modulation efficiency through resonant enhancement so that the modulator electrode structure can be optimized for maximum modulation efficiency.

A parameter study of the effects of the electrode characteristics on the modulation efficiency of resonantly enhanced modulators (RE-MZM) is provided. From this study, optimum design objectives are identified. Numerical optimization is employed to explore the design trade-offs so that optimal configurations can be found. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to assess the performance of optimal RE-MZMs with respect to the variations of fabrication conditions. The results of these investigations indicate that the RE-MZM with a large electrode gap is the optimal design since it provides high modulation efficiency although the inherent switching voltage is high, and is the most tolerant to the fabrication fluctuations. A highly efficient RE-MZM on X-cut LiNbO3 is practically demonstrated with the resonant enhancement factor of 5 dB when comparing to the unenhanced modulator with the same electrode structure and effective switching voltage of 2 V at 1.8 GHz. The performance of the RF-photonic link using the fabr icated RE-MZM is evaluated.

Optimization of RE-MZMs for operating at millimeter-wave frequencies is also reported. Factors that limit the modulation efficiency of an RE-MZM at millimeter-wave frequencies are identified. Novel resonant structures that can overcome these limitations are proposed. Preliminary designs indicate that greatly improved modulation efficiency could be expected.

Degree distributions in networks: beyond the power law

description: The power law is useful in describing count phenomena such as network degrees and word frequencies. With a single parameter, it captures the main feature that the frequencies are linear on the log-log scale. Nevertheless, there have been criticisms of the power law, for example that a threshold needs to be pre-selected without its uncertainty quantified, that the power law is simply inadequate, and that subsequent hypothesis tests are required to determine whether the data could have come from the power law. We propose a modelling framework that combines two different generalisations of the power law, namely the generalised Pareto distribution and the Zipf-polylog distribution, to resolve these issues. The proposed mixture distributions are shown to fit the data well and quantify the threshold uncertainty in a natural way. A model selection step embedded in the Bayesian inference algorithm further answers the question whether the power law is adequate.

description: At the heart of the growing entrepreneurial partnership between luxury brands and the art business, we can see a structural closeness of two realities that today are more than ever in a winning conjunction for the spread of culture. The narrative is fairly silent regarding luxury companies involved in patronage, art collecting and sponsorship practices, especially towards contemporary art. Arts and cultural foundations have been founded by luxury companies during the last decades, motivated by the intention to place the brand in the competitive scenario of the art business. This work contributes to the literature on cultural heritage through the analysis of three case studies. It is argued how the contribution in arts and cultural heritage by luxury brands cannot be considered only as a reflection of strategic marketing actions but also as a benefit aimed to improve the cultural and local environment.

title: Zum Qualitätsverständnis im E-learning und der Relevanz des Subjekts
Creators: name: Kienesberger, Christian
Year: 2009

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird untersucht, welche Relevanz dem Subjekt bei der Qualitätsbestimmung bzw. -beurteilung von computerbasierten Lernformen (E-Learning) beizumessen ist und welche Konsequenzen dabei für künftige Konzeptionen abzuleiten sind. In diesem Zusammenhang erfolgt zunächst eine grundlegende Erörterung des Qualitätsbegriffes, worin die verschiedenen Sichtweisen und Dimensionen von Qualität im Bildungs- bzw. E-Learning-Kontext herausgearbeitet werden, und auf den Aspekt der Qualität als Ko-Produktion eingegangen wird. Anschließend erfolgt eine Erläuterung und genaue Darstellung der verschiedenen Formen und Charakteristik des E-Learnings, die sich insbesondere durch selbstgesteuertes bzw. selbstbestimmtes Lernen auszeichnet. Auf dieses Verständnis von selbstbestimmtem, autonomem Lernen wird im nächsten Kapitel Bezug genommen und dabei die zentralen Hypothesen der subjektwissenschaftlichen Lerntheorie nach Klaus Holzkamp herausgearbeitet. Dieser Theorieentwurf markiert nach Grotlüschen eine Abkehr von kausalen Ursache-Wirkungs-Modellen bestehender Lerntheorien und stellt gleichsam, neben dem Uses-And-Gratification-Approach und dem sozialökonomischen Ansatz, eine wesentliche Grundlage für das von Ulf-Daniel Ehlers konzipierte subjektive Qualitätsmodell im E-Learning dar. Ehe auf dieses Modell näher eingegangen wird, wird der Paradigmenwechsel systematisch nachskizziert und so die zunehmende Bedeutung des Subjekts im E-Learning-Kontext herausgestellt. Durch die Aufschlüsselung des Qualitätsverständnisses vom Subjekt her, gelingt es nun, eine Reihe unterschiedlicher, für den jeweiligen Lerner relevanter, Qualitätspräferenzen zu extrahieren, die sich im subjektiven Qualitätsmodell widerspiegeln und als Referenz für den jeweiligen (sozialen) Kontext gelten können, aus welchem Lerner E-Learning praktizieren. E-Learning-Arrangements bedürfen daher einer möglichst kongruenten Anpassung an die jeweiligen Lernsituationen und Kontexte. Dies erscheint nur möglich, wenn bei künftiger E-Learning-Entwicklung die bislang vielfach starre Orientierung auf einzelne Lernparadigmen einer dynamisch orientierten pragmatischen Herangehensweise weicht, die auch der Vielfalt an Lernmodalitäten am ehesten gerecht zu werden scheint. Die große Herausforderung wird sein, dass der Lerner in diesem Aushandlungsprozess seine Rolle als Ko-Produzent von Qualität im E-Learning behaupten kann und damit einen entscheidenden Beitrag zu einer Optimierung dieser noch verhältnismäßig jungen Lernform leistet.

Deposition, characterisation, and piezoelectric response estimation of strontium-doped lead zirconate titanate thin films
Creators: name: Sriram, Sharath
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Lead zirconate titanate (PZT), in the form of both bulk and thin films, is used in most piezoelectric applications due to its high piezoelectric response coefficients. Strontium-doped lead zirconate titanate (PSZT) has shown improved piezoelectric response characteristics in bulk form. This work investigates the deposition and characterisation of PSZT in the form of thin films, and reports on results from the estimation of the piezoelectric response of these thin films using two new techniques.

The influence of RF magnetron sputter deposition parameters on the composition and orientation of PSZT thin films has been studied. Investigation of the consequence of varying the oxygen partial pressure during deposition on thin film stoichiometry, the influence of the choice of metal-coated silicon substrates on thin film orientation, and the effect of post-deposition cooling rate have been used to identify optimal deposition conditions. The existence of a modified unit cell resulting from these deposition parameters has been verified, and the resulting lattice parameters were estimated. Extensive materials characterisation (using microscopy, diffraction, and spectroscopy) of the PSZT thin films deposited on gold and platinum coated silicon substrates is reported.

The limited techniques available for quantitative estimation of d33 for piezoelectric thin films initiated an investigation into alternative possibilities, as a consequence of which two new techniques for piezoelectric coefficient estimation, under the inverse piezoelectric effect, have been developed. One technique capitalises on the measurement accuracy of the nanoindenter in following thin film displacement, while the other uses a standard atomic force microscope in contact imaging mode to estimate d33. The development, scope, and limitations of both techniques are discussed.

The techniques developed have been used to estimate the piezoelectric response of PSZT thin films. Depending on the thin film deposition parameters and the analysis frequency, values of piezoelectric response higher than any measured for thin films on silicon have been estimated. PSZT thin films deposited on gold-coated silicon at low deposition temperatures resulted in d33 values up to 892 pm/V. The study of the piezoelectric response in the millihertz frequency regime resulted in colossal values (ranging in tens of thousands of pm/V) for PSZT thin films deposited at high temperatures on platinum-coated silicon. This was hypothesised to be a result of enhanced ferroelastic domain switching. This hypothesis was verified by reducing the clamping on domains by synthesising island-structured PSZT films and obtaining an increased piezoelectric response.
