  2. Piezoelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity

    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 ...

  3. Piezophototronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezophototronics

    Piezo-phototronic effect is a three-way coupling effect of piezoelectric, semiconductor and photonic properties in non-central symmetric semiconductor materials, using the piezoelectric potential (piezopotential) that is generated by applying a strain to a semiconductor with piezoelectricity to control the carrier generation, transport, separation and/or recombination at metal–semiconductor ...

  4. Piezo switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezo_switch

    A piezo switch is an electrical switch based on the piezoelectric effect.. The charge generated by the piezoelectric element in the switch is typically used to turn on an integrated semiconductor device such as a field effect transistor (FET), causing the switch assembly's output to be active, or "on". [1]

  5. Piezotronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezotronics

    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.

  6. Acousto-optic modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acousto-optic_modulator

    Λ is the wavelength of the sound wave, λ is that of the light wave, and n is the refractive index of the crystal in the AOD (which should be omitted. This is a mistake). The +1 order has a positive frequency shift compared to the incident light; The 0th order has the same frequency as the incident light.

  7. 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]

  8. Photoelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_effect

    Light simultaneously possesses the characteristics of both waves and particles, each being manifested according to the circumstances. The effect was impossible to understand in terms of the classical wave description of light, [50] [51] [52] as the energy of the emitted electrons did not depend on the intensity of the incident radiation ...

  9. Piezo ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezo_ignition

    A piezo igniter element from a typical lighter. Piezo ignition is a type of ignition that is used in portable camping stoves, gas grills and some lighters. [1] Piezo ignition uses the principle of piezoelectricity, which is the electric charge that accumulates in some materials in response to mechanical deformation.
