The piezoelectric coefficient or piezoelectric modulus, usually written d 33, quantifies the volume change when a piezoelectric material is subject to an electric ...
The piezoelectric coefficients (d 33, d 31, d 15 etc.) measure the strain induced by an applied voltage (expressed as meters per volt). High d ij coefficients indicate larger displacements which are needed for motoring transducer devices.
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 thickness decrease thus results in an increase of the dipole density and thus in an increase of the charges on the electrodes, yielding a negative d33 coefficient from dipole-density (or secondary) piezoelectricity. In cellular polymers (ferroelectrets), stress in the 3-direction also decreases the thickness of the sample.
The total pyroelectric coefficient measured at constant stress is the sum of the pyroelectric coefficients at constant strain (primary pyroelectric effect) and the piezoelectric contribution from thermal expansion (secondary pyroelectric effect). Under normal circumstances, even polar materials do not display a net dipole moment.
[4] The idea was then extended [5] to all commonly used wurtzite and zincblende semiconductors. Given the difficulty of finding direct experimental evidence for the existence of these effects, there are different schools of thought on how one can calculate reliably all the piezoelectric coefficients.

For planar piezoelectric crystals, φ takes the value φ = Ae/d q, where A is the effective area, e is the piezoelectric stress coefficient [28] (e = 9.65·10 −2 C/m 2 for AT-cut quartz) and d q is the thickness of the plate. The transformer often is not explicitly depicted.
Take as an example, the d 33 piezoelectric tensor coefficient of BaTiO 3, it has a value of 85.6 pm V −1 meaning that applying 1 V across the material results in a displacement of 85.6 pm or 0.0856 nm, a minute cantilever displacement even for the high precision of AFM deflection detection. In order to separate this low level signal from ...
