Summary
Piezoelectricity of ice was investigated by two methods whose sensitivity was determined separately. No effect has been found. An electromechanical coupling of 10−3 or a corresponding piezoelectric modulus of 1.5 × 10−9 (stat. clbs. dyn−1) would have been the lower limit for detecting piezoelectricity. Special attention was given to the selection of homogeneous crystals for these tests.
