DiscussionDiscussionCharacteristic Features of the effect:

• Does not depend on magnetic polarity (M-even)• Change sign with electric polarity (E-odd)

Parasitic effects exclusion:

• Change sign with electric polarity (E-odd)• Depend on crystal orientation of the substrateParasitic effects exclusion:

• Current leakage I

2R• no current detected in mA-meter

• contradicts M-evenness of the effect

2R

•Mechanical pressure of the tipF

• contradicts E – oddness of the effect

Resume: The effect is of ME nature
