Molecular shape and flexoelectricity [PDF]

open access: yesLiquid 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

Phase-field modeling and electronic structural analysis of flexoelectric effect at 180{\deg} domain walls in ferroelectric PbTiO3

open access: yes, 2017
Flexoelectric effect is the coupling between strain, polarization and their gradients, which are prominent at the nanoscale. Although this effect is important to understand nanostructures, such as domain walls in ferroelectrics, its electronic mechanism ...

Photoresponsive Rotaxanes Switch Lipid Bilayer Neuromorphic Behavior with Light

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A rotaxane consisting of a macrocycle ring with two azobenzene units mechanically interlocked onto an amphiphilic axle was incorporated into droplet interface bilayers (DIBs). Photoswitching between the azobenzene configurations on the ring resulted in cycling between memristive and memcapacitive behaviors in lipid bilayers, enabling programmable ...

On the coupling effects of piezoelectricity and flexoelectricity in piezoelectric nanostructures

open access: yesAIP 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

Giant Flexoelectric Effect in Ferroelectric Epitaxial Thin Films

open access: yes, 2011
We report on nanoscale strain gradients in ferroelectric HoMnO3 epitaxial thin films, resulting in a giant flexoelectric effect. Using grazing-incidence in-plane X-ray diffraction, we measured strain gradients in the films, which were 6 or 7 orders of ...

A Physics Constrained Machine Learning Pipeline for Young's Modulus Prediction in Multimaterial Hyperelastic Cylinders Guided by Contact Mechanics

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A physics‐guided machine learning framework estimates Young's modulus in multilayered multimaterial hyperelastic cylinders using contact mechanics. A semiempirical stiffness law is embedded into a custom neural network, ensuring physically consistent predictions. Validation against experimental and numerical data on C.

Perovskite Crystals: Unique Pseudo-Jahn–Teller Origin of Ferroelectricity, Multiferroicity, Permittivity, Flexoelectricity, and Polar Nanoregions

open access: yesCondensed Matter, 2020
In a semi-review paper, we show that the local pseudo-Jahn–Teller effect (PJTE) in transition metal B ion center of ABO3 perovskite crystals, notably BaTiO3, is the basis of all their main properties.
