Using the method of time-resolved X-ray diffractometry in a three-crystal scheme, the lattice deformation of a rubidium biphthalate (C8H5RbO4) crystal was measured in an external electric field. Under the action of an external pulsed electric field along the [001] polar direction, the piezoelectric moduli d31,d32, and d33 were determined independently using three reflections 400, 070, and 004; the obtaind values are -32.8±0.6, 12.8±0.3, and 21.8±1.2 pC/N, respectively. A good agreement was found between the values of the piezoelectric moduli obtained in this work and the values obtained earlier by the quasi-static method. Keywords: piezoelectric effect, time-resolved X-ray diffractometry, three-crystal diffraction scheme, acid phthalate crystals, external electric field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
