Piezoelectricity

Piezoelectricity was discovered in1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie, However the term piezoelectricity was coined by W.G. Henkel in 1881.G.Lippman discovered reverse process that is to say on application of electric field mechanical stresses could be developed in 1880 .Which was experimentally proven by curie brothers in 1881. Piezoelectric materials can be natural or synthetic. Natural occurring crystals include quartz, topaz, silk, wood etc. While as synthetic are quartz like, ceramic polymers and composites. Out of 32 piezoelectric crystal structures these are further grouped into seven sub-classes triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal and cubic. All of these are elastic in nature, triclinic is anisotropic,…

primary test showing of an association between naturally visible piezoelectric marvels and crystallographic structure was distributed in 1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie. Their analysis comprised of a decisive estimation of surface charges showing up on extraordinarily arranged precious stones (tourmaline, quartz, topaz, natural sweetener and Rochelle salt among them) which were subjected to mechanical anxiety. These outcomes were a sound representative for the Curies ' creative ability and…

you can find rose quartz in Madagascar, India, japan, Brazil, south Africa, and USA. It is usually found in massive forms. Igneous ,sedimentary,metamorphic quartz is most known mineral on earth. Rose quartz is opaque to translucent macro crystalline. It normally occurs in the cores of large pegmatites as solid masses of rose colored quartz crystals have poorly formed boundaries. When Adonis was wounded in combat Aphrodite rushed to his side caught herself on a thorn and blood dripped on the…

In order to assess if the full effect of anaesthesia has taken effect, the rat’s pedal reflex will be tested. Essentially, after a given period of time (approximately 5-10 minutes) after administration of anesthesia, the foot of the rat will be pinched. If the animal flinches or responds with a sudden jerk, the anesthesia has not fully taken effect and additional time or dosage is required to put the animal under. If there is no response, the animal is ready for surgery. Approximately 3-5 rats…

Ultrasound has been used for many years to help diagnosis. Ultrasound describes sound frequencies beyond the range of normal human hearing and 20 kilohertz. Ultrasound uses focused low-energy ultrasound waves to visualize the interior of the body in a noninvasive and painless way. Many people are to thanks for the evolution of ultrasound. Dating back to the 1700’s. Lazzaro Spallanzani in 1793 observed that bats function efficiently in the dark, even when blinded, but not if deafened. He…

Smokes 4 Less Explains Different Styles of Lighters for Smokes Lighters are an essential tool for smokers, but many people don't know the differences between various styles. So how do you know which one to choose? Smokes 4 Less is here to explain the different types of lighters and the products they pair with the best. Located in Hobb, NM, they are the city's go-to smoke shop, which offers home rolling machines, high-quality tobacco, and various smoking accessories, including lighters. Here are…

The history of piezoelectricity evolution is over 120 years which was discovered by brothers Curie in 1880. They were Pierre Curie (1859-1906) and Jacques Curie (1855-1941). During the study of the generation surface electrical charge by applying pressure on some material, they found out an unusual phenomenon which was a voltage of opposite polarity was generated by pressure was applied on the crystalline minerals such as quartz. The amplitude of the generated voltage was proportional to the…

The displacement caused due to bending can be measured with the change in capacitance, piezoresistivity, piezoelectricity and optical beam deflections. Hence the state of the cell, whether malignant or benign, can be determined by identifying the protein in the cell. Uric acid and dopamine can be detected by electrodes composed of Zinc Oxide nanowire on 3D graphene foam. Abnormal quantities of uric acid is a symptom of many diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and gout. Dopamine levels when low,…

and concerns, that ultimately affects their level of comfort and acceptance of Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS).9 BACKGROUND Ultrasound imaging is a critical part of the Diagnostic Imaging Department being safe, radiation-free and one of the most rapidly available imaging modality.12 Ultrasound examinations consist of sound beams originating in the transducer ( a handheld Ultrasound device connected to the ultrasound machine, containing crystals which vibrate with electricity) which produce sound…

Many geophysicists differ on the extent to which they think that individual reports of unusual lighting near the time and epicenter of an earthquake actually represent EQL. However the most agree that the phenomenon of EQL is real. After the initial proof of existence of Earthquake lights scientist had to spend a lot of time sorting through many different contradicting testimonies. Subsequently, scientists have created many theories for the origin of the lights, involving numerous examples from…
