Abstract

All crystalline materials may be categorized into 32 crystallographic point groups. Of the 21 classes that lack a centre of symmetry, 20 produce an electric dipole (i.e. polarization) when mechanically stressed. These materials are termed piezoelectric, the lack of centrosymmetry being a necessary condition to allow movement of the positive and negative ions in order to produce a dipole. Ten of these classes possess a permanent dipole and will respond to changes in temperature as well as stress. These are defined as pyroelectric. These classes can be subdivided further into ferroelectric crystals, in which the dipole moments of the individual crystalline units can be reversed by application of an electric field.
