Subcategories

• Ferroelectric films - thin films of ferroelectric material that can be used to switch polarization at moderate levels of voltage, like in ferroelectric RAM and RFID cards
• Frequency control - automatically maintaining a resonant circuit to the frequency of an incoming signal
• Piezoelectric effect - the creation of an electrical charge in a material from the application in mechanical stress due to polarization
• Piezoelectric polarization - the polarization of a material through mechanical stress which creates an electric charge
• Piezoelectricity - the electric charge which accumulates in certain solid materials in response to applied mechanical stress
• Ultrasonic imaging - the use of transducers to emit and receive ultrasonic signals and create a visual image of a object
• Ultrasonic transducers - transducers which emit signals in the ultrasonic range, above 20 kHz
