Electric field mechanism, potential frequencies

The piezoelectric effect is another significant property of BaTiOj and oil ferrcelectrics. A change in the dimension of crystals is caused by the influence of electrical field and vice versa potential difference develops on the crystal surfat under the effect of an external mechanical stress. The phenomenon is made use in microphones, loudspeakers, oscillators for ultrasound generation, resonators frequency control, etc. 

He et al. [46] demonstrated that short pulses of electrostatic potential applied along the axis of formation of water droplets in oil can generate a Taylor cone and formation of droplets via an electro-hydrod5miic mechanism [50]. These droplets are typically poly disperse (3-25 pm) and it is difficult to produce individual droplets. Weitz et al. [51] demonstrated control over volumes and frequencies of formation of droplets with the use of electric field. 

Because the four mechanisms of polarization have varying time responses, dielectric solid properties strongly depend on the frequency of the applied electric field. Actually, electrons respond rapidly to reversals of electric potential, and hence no relaxation of the electronic displacement polarization contribution occurs up to frequencies of 10 GHz. Secondly, ions. 

The boundary conditions for these piezoelectric equations are important (a) The condition mechanically free stipulates specifically that boundaries of a piezoelectric sample (e.g., a piezoelectric vibrator) can move, i.e., the vibrator vibrates with a variable strain and zero (or constant) stress. Under this condition, the coefficients in these equations carry a superscript T e.g., is the dielectric constant at constant stress, (b) The condition mechanically clamped stipulates specifically that the boundaries of a vibrator cannot move. This condition means that, when the frequency of the applied voltage is much higher than the resonance frequency of the vibrator, the strain is constant (or zero), while the stress varies. In this case, the coefficients in these equations carry a superscript S e.g., is the dielectric constant at constant strain, (c) The condition of electrical short circuit implies specifically that the electric field = 0 (or a constant), while the electric displacement D 0 inside the vibrator. This is the case when the two electrodes on the surface of the crystal sample are electrically connected (or the electric potential on the entire surface of the sample is constant). Under this condition, the coefficients in these equations carry a superscript E e.g., sfj (or c ) is the elastic compliance (or stiffness) coefficient at constant electric field, (d) The condition of electrical open circuit corresponds to the case when aU the free charges are kept on the electrodes of the sample (electrically insulated) and the internal electric field / 0, while = 0 in the sample, hi this case, the coefficients in these equations carry a superscript D e.g., sjj (or c ) is the elastic compliance (or stiffness) coefficient at constant polarization. 

In order to derive a quantum mechanical expression for the frequency-dependent polarizability we can make use of time-dependent response theory as described in Section 3.11. We need therefore to evaluate the time-dependent expectation value of the electric dipole operator (4 o(i (f)) Pa o( (t))) in the presence of a time-dependent electric field, Eq. (7.11). Employing the length gauge, Eqs. (2.122) - (2.124), which implies that the time-dependent electric field enters the Hamiltonian via the scalar potential in Eq. (2.105), the perturbation Hamilton operator for the periodic and spatially uniform electric field of the electromagnetic wave is given as...
