Pyroelectricity

Introduction This paper will focus on how the annealing of lead zirconium titanate thin films affects its various properties, including its microstructure and electrical properties. This includes examining factors such as the annealing methods, environment, temperature, hold time and heating rate. Lead zirconium titanate is important because improvements in its production will allow for major improvements the next generation of electronic sensors and storage systems. Background Piezoelectric materials

Piezoelectric Materials The term Piezoelectric is made up of two words ‘Piezo’ and ‘electric’. Piezo is a Greek word which means Pressure thus “Piezoelectric” means electricity produced by Pressure. Pierre Curie and Jacques in 1880 experimented on many crystals such as tourmaline, quartz, topaz, cane sugar and Rochelle salt which shows this phenomenon. These crystals produced electricity (small amount) on small deformation of their body. Later in 1881, it was observed that these crystals can show

The Greek Classical Period is a time in Greek history that lasted for 200 years and was followed by the Hellenistic Period. It is considered to be a foundational culture of modern Western civilization due its heavy influence on language, politics, educational systems, philosophy, science, art, and architecture. Many English words come from the Ancient Greek language. For this reason, Ancient Greek is considered one of the most important languages for today’s English speakers. There are even schools
