Microscopic mechanisms of flexoelectricity in oxide membranes

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Harikrishnan KP, Varun Harbola, Jaehong Choi, Kevin J. Crust, Yu-Tsun Shao | Summary: Modern electromechanical actuators and sensors rely on the piezoelectric effect that linearly couples strain and electric polarization. However, this effect is restricted to materials that lack inversion symmetry. In contrast, the flexoelectric effect […]
