Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The phenomenon of piezoelectric relaxation in crystals has been dealt with briefly by applying group theoretical methods. Three typical crystal classes which are capable of exhibiting piezoelectricity are considered in some detail and a study is presented of the possible piezoelectric relaxation when different defect complexes are introduced in the crystals. The concept of an anisotropy in piezoelectric relaxation has been brought out in a crystal class belonging to the orthorhombic system.
