- This paper outlines a new framework for understanding the piezoelectric effect, which explicitly demonstrates the underlying structure-dependent relationships between the primary electromechanical coefficients and reveals the most important characteristics for producing large piezoelectric coupling as required for e.g. sonar applications. It is validated by its ability to explain a previously unrecognised relationship between the piezoelectric charge and coupling coefficients for a large experimental data set. Undertaken as part of EPSRC Established Career Fellowship (EP/M002462/1), the model is now guiding computational approaches to new piezoelectric materials discovery as the topic of two CASE PhD studentships with Thales UK (email on request).
