Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | First 5 Authors: Harikrishnan KP, Harikrishnan KP, , , | 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 couples strain gradients to electric […]
