PFM is based on the converse piezoelectric effect, where an applied electric field induces mechanical strain in piezoelectric materials. In PFM, an AC voltage is applied between a conductive atomic ...

Piezoelectricity is a material’s capacity to transform mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy (polarization) and vice versa. The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, which ...

The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press tightly”. Piezoelectricity refers to a material’s ability to convert mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy ...
