piéoresistiiviset
Piéoresistiiviset is a Finnish term that translates to "piezoresistive" in English. Piezoresistivity refers to the property of certain materials to change their electrical resistance when subjected to mechanical stress or strain. This phenomenon is a type of electrical resistance variation, distinct from the piezoelectric effect which generates an electric voltage in response to mechanical stress.
Materials exhibiting piezoresistivity can be broadly categorized. Metals, such as the alloys commonly used in strain
The underlying mechanism for piezoresistivity in semiconductors involves changes in the material's band structure and carrier
This property is exploited in the design of various sensors. Piezoresistive sensors are widely used to measure
