What type of crystals exhibit piezoelectricity?
Short Answer
Advertisements
Solution
Piezoelectricity is exhibited by crystals that lack a center of symmetry in their structure, known as non-centrosymmetric crystals. These crystals generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress due to their asymmetric internal charge distribution.
Types of crystals that exhibit piezoelectricity:
- Ionic Crystals with Asymmetry
- Polar Covalent Crystals
- Ferroelectric Crystals
- Organic Piezoelectric Crystals
