On completion of this tutorial you should:
- Understand the atomic basis for piezoelectricity.
- Understand how this basis scales up to a full effect on the macro scale.
- Understand how piezoelectrics tie in with ferroelectrics and how their properties arise from the same basis.
- Understand how the properties of piezoelectrics are put to use both industrially and commercially.
