¡ Piezoelectricity refers to the linear coupling between mechanical stress and
electric polarization (the direct piezoelectric effect) or between mechanical
strain and applied electric field (the converse piezoelectric effect).
Equivalence between the direct and converse effects can be shown using
Maxwell’s relations:
¡ Principal piezoelectric coefficient, d, relates polarization P to stress σ in the
direct effect and strain ε to electric field E.
¡ Units of d: [C/N] or [m/V]
¡ Typical values for useful piezoelectric materials: ~ 1 pC/N for quartz to ~ 1000
pC/N for PZT (lead zirconate titanate).

Piezoelectric properties enhanced by
choosing compositions close to morphotropic
boundary between rhombohedral and
tetragonal distortions.
Heating above Curie point, the crystal
structure becomes centrosymmetric, and all
electric dipoles vanish. As the material is
cooled in the presence of a sufficiently large
electric field, the dipoles tend to align with the
applied field, all together giving rise to a
nonzero net polarization.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/09-piezoelectricityandelasticity-160421231908/75/UCSD-NANO106-09-Piezoelectricity-and-Elasticity-14-2048.jpg)

¡ Intrinsic effects: Under a tensile stress parallel to the dipole moment, there is
an enhancement of the polarization along [001] = Z3. When a tensile stress is
applied perpendicular to the dipole, the polarization along Z3 (d33 and d31) is
reduced. When the dipole is tilted by shear stress, charges appear on the side
faces (d15).
¡ Extrinsic contributions: Doping with higher or lower-valent ions.
¡ Nb5+ for Ti4+ gives soft PZT with easily movable domain walls and a large
piezoelectric coefficient. Used in hydrophones and other sensors.
¡ Fe3+ for Ti4+ gives hard PZTs, used in high-power transducers because they
will not depole under high fields in the reverse directions.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/09-piezoelectricityandelasticity-160421231908/75/UCSD-NANO106-09-Piezoelectricity-and-Elasticity-15-2048.jpg)

Summary on Tensors ¡In this second part of the course, you have been given an overview of tensors and their application to represent fields (e.g., stress, strain, polarization) and properties (e.g., conductivity, piezoelectric moduli, stiffness and compliance). ¡ It is of course impossible to cover all the different kinds of material properties, but the concepts and tools you have learned (transformation of tensors, symmetry restrictions on tensor values, etc.) thus far should be readily generalizable to any properties you encounter in future. ¡ Gap in coverage: Due to limits of time, I have elected not to cover magnetic group symmetries and axial tensor properties. Interested parties are referred to the relevant sections in Structure of Materials and Properties of Materials for a detailed discussion on these topics. The general concepts are similar, but the introduction of time reversal greatly increases the complexity of symmetry considerations (122 magnetic point groups and 1651 magnetic space groups!)
