Lead-Free Piezoelectric Materials of the Future

Over the past 60 years, lead zirconate titanate, or PZT, has been the material of choice for piezoelectric applications from ink jet printers to gas grill igniters. Despite this success, many scientists would like to find a more environmentally-friendly, lead-free material. Now an article in the journal Applied Physics Letters shows the theoretical potential of another class of materials.
