The piezoelectric properties of a new quartz-type crystal BaZnO2 (general formula ABO(2)) was studied by first-principle calculation. The calculated lattice parameters were a = 5.890 angstrom, c = 6.781 angstrom by LDA, which was consistent with experimental value well. The predicted piezoelectric strain coefficient was d(11) = 11.84 pC/N and the electromechanical coupling coefficients k(11) was 35.7%, both of which were much higher than other quartz-type crystals, indicating bright prospects in high-piezoelectric application. Finally, the origin of large piezoelectricity of BaZnO2 was discussed by decomposition the piezoelectric stress tensor e(ij) compared with SiO2. (C) 2011 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
