Racemic Amino Acid Piezoelectric Transducer [PDF]
Single crystal L-amino acids can exhibit technologically useful piezoelectric and nonlinear optical properties. Here we predict, using density functional theory, the piezoelectric charge and strain and voltage tensors of the racemic amino acid DL alanine, and use the modeling data to guide the first macroscopic and nanoscopic piezoelectric measurements

Harvesting energy of flow-induced vibrations using cylindrical piezoelectric transducers
Piezoelectric transducers are used to harvest the energy of Flow-Induced Vibrations, FIVs. These transducers are mainly in the shape of a cantilever beam, although a cylindrical piezoelectric transducer has rarely been used.
