PZTs
PZTs, or piezoelectric transducers, are devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. This phenomenon, known as the piezoelectric effect, is exhibited by certain crystalline materials. When subjected to mechanical stress, these materials generate an electrical charge. Conversely, when an electric field is applied to them, they deform or change shape.
The most common materials used for PZTs are ceramics based on lead zirconate titanate. These ceramics possess
PZTs have diverse applications. In electronics, they are used in sensors for pressure, acceleration, and vibration
