當(dāng)晶體上特定方向上施加壓力或拉力，晶體的一些對(duì)應(yīng)的表面上分別出現(xiàn)正、負(fù)束縛電荷，其電荷密度與外施力的大小成正比例。壓電體的必要條件：晶體不具有對(duì)稱中心。（在32個(gè)點(diǎn)群中，有20個(gè)具有壓電性）+++++------+++++-----正壓電效應(yīng)：在外力的作用下，晶體表面出現(xiàn)束縛電荷。逆壓電效應(yīng)：在外電場(chǎng)的作用下，晶體發(fā)生形變。壓電效應(yīng)表示為：Pi=dijkTjkPi——極化強(qiáng)度或Pi=eijkSjkTjk——應(yīng)力；Sjk——應(yīng)變逆壓電效應(yīng)表示式為：Sjk=dijkEiTjk=eijkEidijk為壓電應(yīng)變常數(shù)，eijk為壓電應(yīng)力常數(shù)壓電參數(shù)微區(qū)測(cè)量

3、熱釋電體熱釋電晶體只要溫度變化，由于其自發(fā)極化強(qiáng)度隨溫度變化的緣故，會(huì)在特定方向產(chǎn)生表面電荷，這就是最先由Brewster命名的熱釋電現(xiàn)象。當(dāng)晶體中存在與其它極軸都不同的唯一極軸時(shí)，才有可能由于熱膨脹引起電矩變化而導(dǎo)致熱釋電效應(yīng)。有10種點(diǎn)群的晶體具有熱釋電效應(yīng)，如鈦酸鋇，硫酸三甘酞，一水合硫酸鋰，鈮酸鋰等。鐵電材料的應(yīng)用電子技術(shù)紅外探測(cè)技術(shù)超聲（和微波聲學(xué)）技術(shù)固態(tài)記憶II.TheoryforDielectricMaterials
