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

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 ...

Investigation of flexoelectricity and ionic contamination in nematic liquid crystals
, 2009 The work presented is a study of nematic liquid crystal physical properties. One of the phenomenon investigated is the bistability or in other words, the ability of the director of the material to rest in different orientations as function of the ...

A quantitative model of triboelectric charge transfer
FrictionTriboelectricity, when rubbing or contacting materials causes electric charge transfer, is ubiquitous across many fields, and has been studied in detail for centuries. Despite this, a complete description of triboelectricity remains elusive.

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 ...
