Abstract
The presence or absence of piezoelectricity has a direct relationship with the point group of the crystal structure. In this article, starting from a general background, a brief account of the phenomena associated with anomalous piezoelectric response in advanced piezoelectric materials is presented. Some of the landmark discoveries that shaped the field, both in terms of new materials as well as the scientific understanding of the mechanisms are highlighted. Towards the end, there is a brief discussion of the viewpoints with regard to factors such as domain wall motion, low symmetry monoclinic phase, phase transition, polarization rotation theory and adaptive phase theory which contribute to the piezoelectric response in advanced piezoelectrics.
