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 ...

Fracture toughening and toughness asymmetry induced by flexoelectricity [PDF]
, 2020 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

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.

Spin flexoelectricity and chiral spin structures in magnetic films
, 2015 In this short review a broad range of chiral phenomena observed in magnetic films (spin cycloid and skyrmion structures formation as well as chirality dependent domain wall motion) is considered under the perspective of spin flexoelectricity, i.e the ...

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 ...

Flexoelectricity in liquid crystals: theory, experiments and applications
, 2013 This book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid ...
