- Electricity produced by mechanical pressure on certain crystals (notably quartz or Rochelle salt); alternatively, electrostatic stress produces a change in the linear dimensions of the crystal
- (piezoelectric) relating to or involving piezoelectricity; "piezoelectric plates"
- Piezoelectricity is the charge which accumulates in certain solid materials (notably crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins) in response to applied mechanical strain. The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure. ...
- (Piezoelectric) A crystal property which causes a voltage to be developed across the crystal when mechanical stress is applied, or vice-versa.
- (Piezoelectric) Any material which provides a conversion between mechanical and electrical energy. For a piezoelectric crystal, if mechanical stresses are applied on two opposite faces, electrical charges appear on some other pair of faces.
- (Piezoelectric) A mineral that vibrates regularly when an electric current passes through it.
- (Piezoelectric) Capable of producing a surface electric charge when deformed elastically; a property of some minerals without a center of symmetry.
- (Piezoelectric) Mechanical distortion of the material results in the formation of a charge across the material, or vice versa. The most common material in general use is PZT, Lead Zirconium Titanate.
- (Piezoelectric) One of two ways inkjet cartridges spray ink, the other being bubble jet. Electric current causes Piezo crystals to vibrate and bend, pushing ink out of the nozzle. Patented by Epson.
