Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain materials when they are mechanically stressed. This phenomenon allows piezoelectric materials to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa, making them essential in various applications, especially in the realm of sensors and actuators used in Micro and Nano Electromechanical Systems (MEMS/NEMS) fabrication.
