Is an ultrasonic transducer that uses the principle of piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectricity is the name for the phenomenon whereby electric dipoles are generated in certain anisotropic crystals when subjected to mechanical stress. This effect was discovered in 1880 by Jaques and Pierre Curie. The same materials exhibit the converse effect in that they suffer a dimensional change under the influence of an electric field.
