Historical Context and Discovery
The direct piezoelectric effect was first experimentally demonstrated in $1880$ by the Curie brothers, Pierre and Jacques. They applied mechanical stress to carefully cut quartz crystals and measured the resulting surface electric charges using an electrometer. Later, the inverse effect—the mechanical deformation under an electric field—was p…
