9.20 piezomagnetism. Phenomenon exhibited by some polarized ferromagnetic materials which when subjected to elastic strain in suitable directions develop magnetic polarization proportional to the strain. Inverse piezomagnetism is the effect in which...
9.19 magnetostriction. Phenomenon wherein ferromagnetic materials experience an elastic strain when subjected to an external magnetic field.
9.18 electrostriction. Phenomenon wherein some dielectric materials experience an elastic strain when subjected to an electric field, this strain being independent of the polarity of the field.
9.17 piezoelectricity. Property exhibited by some asymmetrical crystalline materials which when subjected to strain in suitable directions develop electric polarization proportional to the strain. Inverse piezoelectricity is the effect in which mechanical...
