Piezoelectric Powder Characterization
Electroceramic materials are often classified as either hard or soft. Soft materials involve the use of a donor dopant and hard materials require the use of an acceptor dopant. In both cases, the dopant creates changes in the resulting crystal structure and enhances the characteristics of the materials. With the
