Abstract

The history of piezoelectricity development totals more than 120 years. In 1880, Pierre and Jacques Curie found that under pressure some materials develop surface electrical charges. Subsequently, this effect was named the “piezoeffect”; electricity caused by mechanical pressure was called “piezoelectricity”, and materials (quartz, turmalin, segnet salt, etc.) in which there is this phenomenonwere called “piezoelectric” [1].
