{wiki=Category:Piezoelectric_materials}
Piezoelectric materials are substances that exhibit the piezoelectric effect, which is the ability to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress. This phenomenon occurs in certain materials when they undergo deformation, causing a separation of positive and negative charges within the material, thus creating an electric field. Key features of piezoelectric materials include: 1. **Types of Materials**: Common piezoelectric materials include certain crystals (e.g., quartz, topaz), ceramics (e.g.
