The invention discloses an acceleration measuring device and method based on a piezo-
electronic effect. The acceleration measuring device comprises: a
mass pendulum sheet unit, which is used for generating
inertia force; a fixed loop unit, which keeps stationary relative to a carrier; a flexible
quartz plate unit, which is connected to the
mass pendulum sheet unit and the fixed loop unit; a deformation detection unit, which includes a nano wire and block electrodes positioned on the two ends of the nano wire respectively, wherein at least one block
electrode and the nano wire together form a
Schottky barrier, and the two ends of the nano wire are fixed to the
mass pendulum sheet unit and the fixed loop unit through the block electrodes; a lead wire unit, which enables the deformation detection unit and a
signal processing unit to be connected to form a loop; and the
signal processing unit, which is used for providing
voltage differences to the two ends of the deformation detection unit, measuring currents generated by the nano wire and obtaining acceleration according to the currents. A piezo-
electronic effect is utilized to realize regulation and control for an interface junction zone barrier and a nano-material exhibits the quite unique mechanical performance, so the precision, sensitivity and measuring range for acceleration measuring are improved.
