← ScienceWhich consequence results when anisotropic thermal expansion occurs within a piezoelectric crystal?
A)Mechanical stress-induced voltage appears✓
B)Spontaneous symmetry breaking is stabilized
C)Enhanced piezoelectric coupling coefficient
D)Crystal lattice becomes fully amorphous
💡 Explanation
Anisotropic thermal expansion creates internal stress, thereby activating the piezoelectric effect because it directly converts mechanical stress into an electrical voltage. Therefore, a voltage appears; rather than affecting symmetry, coupling, or amorphization which would need different, higher-energy mechanisms.
