There are two broad categories of piezoelectric materials. First category includes piezoelectric materials that exist in nature and the second category comprises man-made or synthetic materials. Quartz, Rochelle salt, topaz, and tourmaline-group minerals are a few examples of naturally-existing piezoelectrics which are anisotropic dielectrics crystals having a non-centrosymmetric crystal lattice. Piezoelectric materials are widely used in electronic devices such as actuators, sensors, accelerators, ultrasonic motors, transducers, filters, resonators, and micro-electromechanical systems. A perovskite is any material that has a crystal structure that follows the basic chemical formula ABX3. Some of the prominent physical properties of these materials are magnetoresistance, superconductivity and ionic conductivity. They find a variety of applications as photovoltaics, lasers, scintillators and light-emitting diodes. This book outlines the synthesis, properties, and applications of piezoelectric and perovskite materials in detail. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and researchers alike and contribute to the growth of study on these materials.
