 This paper discusses the use of piezoelectric transduction of 011, oriented single crystal lead magnesium niobate lead titanate, PMNPT, thin film discs to excite the tangential mode and family of elliptical compound resonant modes. These modes are self-aligned and un-patterned, allowing for high performance in a variety of applications. The paper also demonstrates the ability of these modes to achieve high dithering rates and displacements, making them ideal candidates for MEMS gyroscopes and timing references.
