Piezoelectric

Similar Terms: Piezoelectricity

Piezoelectricity is the charge that piezoelectric materials (eg Crystals, certain ceramics etc) produce when mechanical pressure is applied to them. Conversely, when those same materials are subjected to an electrical field they produce mechanical strain/deform.

 

This can be used to produce or detect sound, electronic Frequency generation and in micro balances among other applications.
