Nanoscale flexoelectric energy harvesting
International Journal of Solids and Structures, 2014 AbstractOne of the most tantalizing applications of piezoelectricity is to harvest energy from ambient mechanical vibrations for powering micro and nano devices. However, piezoelectricity is restricted only to certain materials and is severely compromised at high temperatures.

Surface control of flexoelectricity [PDF]
Physical Review B, 2014 The polarization response of a material to a strain gradient, known as flexoelectricity, holds great promise for novel electromechanical applications. Despite considerable recent progress, however, the effect remains poorly understood. From both the fundamental and practical viewpoints, it is of crucial importance to know whether the coupling ...

How Flexoelectricity Drives Triboelectricity
, 2020 Triboelectricity has been known since antiquity, but the fundamental physics underlying this phenomenon lacks consensus. We present a flexoelectric model for triboelectricity where contact deformation induced band bending is the driving force for charge transfer.
