Defects-enhanced flexoelectricity in nanostructures [PDF]
, 2009 Recent studies show that low dimensional nanostructures may exhibit nonlocal electromechanical effects such as flexoelectricity. Despite the recent progress in nanostructure growth techniques imperfections such as defects are practically unavoidable ...

Scan‐Path‐ and Initial‐State‐Dependent Superdomain Switching in (111)‐Oriented PZT
Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 16, 24 August 2026.Scan trajectory and initial superdomain topology govern polarization switching in (111)‐oriented PZT. Automated AFM writing, pulsing experiments, and interferometric 3D‐PFM show that raster scans reproducibly stabilize ordered Type‐I stripe superdomains with constrained variant selection, whereas spiral trajectories generate frustrated mixed‐variant ...

Fracture toughening and toughness asymmetry induced by flexoelectricity
, 2015 Cracks generate the largest strain gradients that any material can withstand. Flexoelectricity (coupling between strain gradient and polarization) must therefore play an important role in fracture physics. Here we use a self-consistent continuum model to

Pseudo Jahn-Teller Effect In The Origin Of Enhanced Flexoelectricity [PDF]
, 2015 The controversy between the theory and experiment in explaining the origin of enhanced flexoelectricity is removed by taking into account the pseudo Jahn-Teller effect (PJTE) which, under certain conditions, creates local dipolar distortions of dynamic ...

Constructive and destructive interplay between piezoelectricity and flexoelectricity in flexural sensors and actuators [PDF]
, 2015 Flexoelectricity is an electromechanical effect coupling polarization to strain gradients. It fundamentally differs from piezoelectricity because of its size-dependence and symmetry.
