Biocompatible Magnetopyroelectric Composite Films for Cell Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetopyroelectric films couple Fe3O4 nanoparticles with pyroelectric P(VDF‐TrFE) to turn alternating magnetic fields into controlled heat and pyroelectric currents. This heavy‐metal free platform safely boosts neural progenitor cells differentiation via synergistic thermal and pyroelectrical cues, engages AKT and calcium pathways, and opens practical

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

Molecular shape and flexoelectricity [PDF]

Liquid Crystals, 2000
We performed Monte Carlo simulations of systems of wedge-shaped objects formed from Gay-Berne ellipsoids joined to Lennard-Jones spheres. We studied two different wedge shapes, one more asymmetric than the other. The bend and splay flexoelectric coefficients were measured in the isotropic and smectic phases using linear response theory, and found to be

Chemical Doping Engineering of Polarization and Topological Textures in van der Waals Ferroelectric CuInP2S6

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our work reports that Li⁺ doping in CuInP2S₆ induces coexistence of high‐ and low‐polarization states, which fosters a rich spectrum of topological polar textures, such as bubbles and labyrinth domains. An unconventional flexoelectric effect is also discovered, where strain gradients can mechanically manipulate these polarization states and their ...

Frequency dispersion of flexoelectricity in PMN-PT single crystal

AIP Advances, 2017
The mechanism of the recent discovered enhanced flexoelectricity in perovskites has brought about numerous controversies which still remain unclear. In this paper, we employed relaxor 0.68Pb(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O3 -0.32PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) single crystals for study ...

Proximity Ferroelectricity in Compositionally Graded Structures

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
We perform the finite element modeling of the polarization switching in the compositionally graded AlN‐Al1‐xScxN and ZnO‐Zn1‐xMgxO structures and reveal the switching of spontaneous polarization in the whole structure in all these systems. The coercive field to switch is significantly lower than the electric breakdown field of the unswitchable AlN and ...
