Abstract: The renal calculi are studied by using an X-ray diffractometer for different chemical composition of the stones. A new constituent, α-quartz, is confirmed to be present in the renal calculi which is responsible for piezoelectric property of such materials.

Keywords: renal calculi, piezoelectric materials, X-ray diffraction technique
