multimorphn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈmʌltɪmɔːf/, U.S.

/ˈməltiˌmɔrf/; see also multi- comb. form.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: multi- comb. form, -morph comb. form.

Etymology: < multi- comb. form + -morph comb. form, after bimorph n.

Electronics.

A. n.

A ceramic device consisting of crystalline layers with different piezoelectric and elastic properties.

1957 C. P. Germano in Proc. National Electronics Conf. 1956 12 677 The Multimorph is a new and improved piezoelectric ceramic element.

1988 V. Capel Audio & Hi-Fi Engineer's Pocket Bk. 37 A slice of piezo electric crystal, secured at one end.., generates an electrical signal when it is stressed by a vibrating cone in contact with the other... Several slices are used to produce a multimorph or sound cell, in which the sound actuates the slices directly.

1997 Jrnl. Microelectromech. Syst. 6 266/1 The motivation of this work is to develop a model for multiple-layer cantilever devices, or multimorphs, which is applicable to thin-film devices.

B. adj.

Of the nature of a multimorph.
