1. pyroelectricity

   Pyroelectricity is a property of certain materials to generate a temporary electric voltage when they are heated or cooled, causing a change in their temperature. This phenomenon occurs due to the spontaneous polarization in the material that is subject to change with temperature. It is observed in various types of crystals, ceramics, and biological matter, such as bone and tendon.

1. Pyroelectricity

   Pyroelectricity is the ability of certain materials to generate a temporary voltage when they are heated or cooled. The change in temperature modifies the positions of the atoms slightly within the crystal structure, such that the polarization of the material changes. This polarization change gives rise to a voltage across the crystal. If the temperature stays constant at its new value, the pyroelectric voltage gradually disappears due to leakage current. Pyroelectricity should not be confused with thermoelectricity: In a typical demonstration of pyroelectricity, the whole crystal is changed from one temperature to another, and the result is a temporary voltage across the crystal. In a typical demonstration of thermoelectricity, one side of the material is kept at one temperature and the other side at a different temperature, and the result is a permanent voltage across the crystal.
