Piezoelectric nonlinearity and frequency dispersion of the direct piezoelectric response of BiFeO3 ceramics [PDF]
We report on the frequency and stress dependence of the direct piezoelectric d33 coefficient in BiFeO3 ceramics. The measurements reveal considerable piezoelectric nonlinearity, i.e., dependence of d33 on the amplitude of the dynamic stress.
