Characterization of Pure Face-Shear Strain in Piezoelectric α-Tellurium Dioxide (α-TeO₂)

Paratellurite, also known as α-tellurium dioxide, is a ceramic that is primarily employed for its interesting optical properties. However, this material’s crystal structure belongs to the 422 symmetry class that allows a unique piezoelectric behavior to manifest itself: deformation in pure face-shea...
