| 1. | Research in pyroelectricity became more sophisticated in the 19th century.
|
| 2. | The process of pyroelectricity has been known from ancient times.
|
| 3. | Pyroelectricity is also a necessary consequence of ferroelectricity.
|
| 4. | Ha�y's name is also known for the observations he made in pyroelectricity.
|
| 5. | However, note that some piezoelectric materials have a crystal symmetry that does not allow pyroelectricity.
|
| 6. | Very small changes in temperature can produce an electric potential due to a materials'pyroelectricity.
|
| 7. | The piezoelectric effect is generally stronger in materials that also exhibit pyroelectricity, and all pyroelectric materials are also piezoelectric.
|
| 8. | In 1824 William Thomson in 1878 and Woldemar Voigt in 1897 helped develop a theory for the processes behind pyroelectricity.
|
| 9. | Theophrastus made the first known reference to the phenomenon of pyroelectricity, noting that the mineral tourmaline becomes charged when heated.
|
| 10. | The property of pyroelectricity is the measured change in net polarization ( a vector ) proportional to a change in temperature.
