Flexoelectricity in Bones [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, 2018
AbstractBones generate electricity under pressure, and this electromechanical behavior is thought to be essential for bone's self‐repair and remodeling properties. The origin of this response is attributed to the piezoelectricity of collagen, which is the main structural protein of bones.

Piezoelectric Mimicry of Flexoelectricity [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2018
The origin of "giant" flexoelectricity, orders of magnitude larger than theoretically predicted, yet frequently observed, is under intense scrutiny. There is mounting evidence correlating giant flexoelectric-like effects with parasitic piezoelectricity, but it is not clear how piezoelectricity (polarization generated by strain) manages to imitate ...

Flexoelectricity in antiferroelectrics [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics Letters, 2018
Flexoelectricity (coupling between polarization and strain gradients) is a property of all dielectric materials that has been theoretically known for decades, but only relatively recently it has begun to attract experimental attention. As a consequence, there are still entire families of materials whose flexoelectric performance is unknown. Such is the

Nanoscale Flexoelectricity

Advanced Materials, 2013
AbstractElectromechanical effects are ubiquitous in biological and materials systems. Understanding the fundamentals of these coupling phenomena is critical to devising next‐generation electromechanical transducers. Piezoelectricity has been studied in detail, in both the bulk and at mesoscopic scales.

Flexoelectricity in metals

Journal of Applied Physics, 2021
Flexoelectricity is an electromechanical phenomenon that, unlike piezoelectricity, is present in any material. While the largest flexoelectric response is observed in ferroelectrics and related materials, its manifestations in various other materials are of great interest for a broad scope of scientific and industrial tasks.

Flexoelectricity in soft elastomers and the molecular mechanisms underpinning the design and emergence of giant flexoelectricity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance The molecular-scale phenomena that lead to the emergence of the flexoelectric effect in elastomers are not well understood. We present a molecular-to-continuum scale theory and show it to be valid for common types of elastomers.
