First discovered in Rochelle salts and quarts by Pierre and Jacques Curie, FTP, identify this ability of certain materials to produce an electric potential in response to applied stress.
Mayer and Atzrodt have developed models to investigate the use of this property in actuators, and wafers possessing this property are used to control scanning microscopes in the nanometer range. Lead zirconate titanate is the standard medical imaging material which uses it, and PVDF is one of the few polymers to display it. It is exhibited by ceramics like barium tantalite and lithium niobate, and its converse is eletrostriction.
