Grain rotation effect for rhombohedral ceramic. For the grains whose polar axis is perpendicular to electrodes (rotation angle of ψa is zero) as shown in (a), the longitudinal piezoelectric response is much smaller than that in rotated grains (b). Meantime, one also can expect a much higher quality factor Q33 in grains shown in (a). Adapted from Ref. [19].
