Abstract
The influence of the inverse piezoelectric effect on the effective permittivity, the Maxwellian relaxation time, and the space-charge field amplitude in cubic photorefractive crystals is examined. Analytical orientational dependences of the effective permittivity are derived for crystals of \(\overline {{\text{110}}} \), \(\overline {{\text{110}}} \), and \(\overline {{\text{111}}} \) cuts. It is demonstrated that in an external field of 10 kV/cm, the space-charge field may change by 4.9% due to the piezoelectric effect.
