Abstract
The system "movable electrode - nanometer gap - thin crystalline film of a material with a high value of dielectric permittivity - fixed electrode" is used to create high specific mechanical power microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Two-dimensional electromechanical waves are found to arise in such a system. The occurrence of such excitations limits the maximum specific power of electromechanical converters - actuators, MEMS motors, and generators. On the other hand, this phenomenon opens up wide possibilities of using such structures.
