Zusammenfassung:Derivations for equations for calculating the potential and field strength in both single-crystal and two-crystal pyroelectric accelerators are presented. Such expressions for the single-crystal system are well established in the literature, but with cursory derivations. We provide a rigorous derivation of the single-crystal system and expand upon this physical understanding to derive expressions for the potential and field in a two-crystal system. The expressions are verified with finite element modeling and compared with experimental results. This allows for better understanding of pyroelectric accelerators.
