There are no non-trivial rotation-invariant tensors that have this property, which is why there are no isotropic piezoelectric materials. The strain-charge for a material of the 4mm (C 4v) crystal class (such as a poled piezoelectric ceramic such as tetragonal PZT or BaTiO 3) as well as the 6mm crystal class may also be written as (ANSI IEEE 176):

The molecules of some crystals and ceramics are permanently polarised: some parts of the molecule are positively charged, while other parts are negatively charged. These materials produce an electric charge when the material changes dimension as a result of an imposed external force. The charge produced is referred to as piezoelectricity. Many ...
The materials for piezotronics should be piezoelectric semiconductors, [10] such as ZnO, GaN and InN. Three-way coupling among piezoelectricity , photoexcitation and semiconductor is the basis of piezotronics (piezoelectricity-semiconductor coupling), piezophotonics (piezoelectric-photon excitation coupling), optoelectronics , and ...
In order to obtain a piezoelectric response, the material must first be poled in a large electric field. Poling of the material typically requires an external field of above 30 megavolts per metre (MV/m). Thick films (typically >100 μm) must be heated during the poling process in order to achieve a large piezoelectric response. Thick films are ...
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]
The piezoelectric coefficient or piezoelectric modulus, usually written d 33, quantifies the volume change when a piezoelectric material is subject to an electric field, or the polarization on the application of stress.
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.
