Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is a ceramic compound composed of lead, zirconium, and titanium. It has the chemical formula \\( \\text\{Pb(Zr\}_\{x\}\\text\{Ti\}_\{1-x\})\\text\{O\}_3 \\), where \\( x \\) can vary to create different compositions of the material. PZT is well-known for its piezoelectric properties, which means it can generate an electrical charge in response to applied mechanical stress and vice versa.
