content.Advanced Technology in Piezoelectric CeramicsIn addition to ceramic materials and applications, students learn about a fascinatingelectromechanical coupling called piezoelectricity that is being employed and researchedaround the world for varied purposes – often for creative energy harvesting methods,including generator and motor action. The piezo-electric effect is often encountered indaily life. For example, in small gas grill lighters, a lever applies pressure to a piezo-electric ceramic creating an electric field strong enough to produce a spark to ignite thegas. Furthermore, alarm clocks often use a piezo-electric element. When AC voltage isapplied, the piezo-electric material moves at the frequency of the applied voltage and theresulting
