Piezochromism , from the Greek piezô "to squeeze, to press" and chromos "color", [ 1 ] describes the tendency of certain materials to change color with the application of pressure . This effect is closely related to the electronic band gap change, which can be found in plastics , semiconductors (e.g. hybrid perovskites...

A piezoelectric microelectromechanical system (piezoMEMS) is a miniature or microscopic device that uses piezoelectricity to generate motion and carry out its tasks. It is a microelectromechanical system that takes advantage of an electrical potential that appears under mechanical stress . PiezoMEMS can be found in a v...

The piezoelectrochemical transducer effect (PECT) is a coupling between the electrochemical potential and the mechanical strain in ion-insertion-based electrode materials. It is similar to the piezoelectric effect – with both exhibiting a voltage-strain coupling - although the PECT effect relies on movement of ions wit...

Piezoluminescence is a form of luminescence created by pressure upon certain solids. This phenomenon is characterized by recombination processes involving electrons, holes and impurity ion centres. [ 1 ] Some piezoelectric crystals give off a certain amount of piezoluminescence when under pressure. Irradiated salts, s...

Piezomagnetism is a phenomenon observed in some antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic crystals. It is characterized by a linear coupling between the system's magnetic polarization and mechanical strain . In a piezomagnetic material, one may induce a spontaneous magnetic moment by applying mechanical stress , or a physica...
