Flexoelectricity in antiferroelectrics
, 2021 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.

Flexoelectricity in oxide thin films
Journal of Advanced DielectricsFlexoelectric effect describes the electromechanical coupling between the strain gradient and its internal polarization in all dielectrics. Despite this universality, the resulting flexoelectric field remains small at the macroscopic level.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Ferroelectric nanoclusters create local internal fields in a normally non‐switchable polar film because of polarization mismatch at their interfaces. That field opposes polarization in the regions with larger polarization and reinforces polarization in the regions with smaller polarization.

Investigation of flexoelectricity and ionic contamination in nematic liquid crystals [PDF]
, 2009 The work presented is a study of nematic liquid crystal physical properties. One of the phenomenon investigated is the bistability or in other words, the ability of the director of the material to rest in different orientations as function of the ...

Nanoconfinement‐Induced Second‐Harmonic Circular Dichroism via Chirality–Ferroelectric Coupling
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Nanoconfinement of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal within a chiral nanoporous sponge yields an enhanced second‐harmonic generation circular dichroism (|gSHG–CD| ≈ 1.1). Polarization‐resolved analysis suggests an additional magnetic‐dipole‐associated nonlinear contribution under nanoconfinement, highlighting chirality–ferroelectric coupling as a ...

Flexoelectrically Induced Polar Topology in Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Twisted SrTiO3 bilayers host polar vortices of flexoelectric origin, revealed through combined experiment and theory. By reconstructing polarization from the toroidal moment of strain gradients, the work establishes a 3D chiral state with broken inversion and mirror symmetries.

Piezoelectric Mimicry of Flexoelectricity
, 2021 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 flexoelectriclike effects with parasitic piezoelectricity ...

On the coupling effects of piezoelectricity and flexoelectricity in piezoelectric nanostructures
AIP Advances, 2017 Flexoelectricity is a novel kind of electromechanical coupling phenomenon that is prevalent in all solid dielectrics and usually of vital importance in nanostructures and soft materials. Although the fundamental theory of flexoelectric solids and related

Flexoelectricity in ferroelectric materials
IET Nanodielectrics, 2019 Flexoelectricity is a gradient electromechanical effect that exists in all solid dielectrics. The effect was first predicted in the late 1950s, but received little interest because it was expected to be small.

Sub‐Nanometer Curvature Unlocks Quantum Orbital Flexoelectricity in Graphene
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.In self‐assembled, reproducible, large‐area, quasi‐pristine graphene nanowrinkles, extreme curvature forces out‐of‐plane π‐electrons toward hybridization, driving a transition from classical to quantum orbital flexoelectricity. As curvature approaches the fundamental physical limit set by the C─C bond length, the resulting polarization increases by ...
