    Piezoelectric balance presented by Pierre Curie to Lord Kelvin, Hunterian Museum, Glasgow. Piezoelectricity (/ ˌ p iː z oʊ-, ˌ p iː t s oʊ-, p aɪ ˌ iː z oʊ-/, US: / p i ˌ eɪ z oʊ-, p i ˌ eɪ t s oʊ-/) [1] is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials—such as crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA, and various proteins—in ...

    The converse piezoelectric effect (CPE) describes how an applied electric field will create a resultant strain which in turn leads to a physical deformation of the material. This effect can be described through the constitutive equations. [4] The CPE can be written as =

  4. Piezoelectric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_motor

    Insides of a slip-stick piezoelectric motor. Two piezoelectric crystals are visible that provide the mechanical torque. [1]A piezoelectric motor or piezo motor is a type of electric motor based on the change in shape of a piezoelectric material when an electric field is applied, as a consequence of the converse piezoelectric effect.

    Working mechanism for piezoelectric devices with one end of the piezoelectric material is fixed. The induced piezopotential distribution is similar to the applied gate voltage in a traditional field-effect transistor, as shown in (b). Schematic diagram showing the three-way coupling among piezoelectricity, photoexcitation and semiconductor.

    in the piezoelectric effect, you apply a deformation to the crystal and charge is generated on the surface of the crystal. applying an electric field is carried out by applying a voltage to the surface of the piezoelectric crystal. all piezoelectric materials exhibit both the piezoelectric effect and the converse piezoelectric effect.

    The additive approach: The piezoelectric thin films are deposited on silicon substrates with layers of insulating and conducting material followed by surface or silicon bulk micromachining. The subtractive approach: Single crystal or polycrystalline piezoelectrics and piezoceramics are subjected to direct bulk micromachining and then electrodes.

  9. Piezoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_sensor

    A piezoelectric disk generates a voltage when deformed (change in shape is greatly exaggerated) A piezoelectric sensor is a device that uses the piezoelectric effect to measure changes in pressure, acceleration, temperature, strain, or force by converting them to an electrical charge. The prefix piezo-is Greek for 'press' or 'squeeze'. [1]
