Piezoelectric monolayers as nonlinear energy harvesters [PDF]

open access: yesNanotechnology, 2014
We study the dynamics of h-BN monolayers by first performing ab-initio calculations of the deformation potential energy and then solving numerically a Langevine-type equation to explore their use in nonlinear vibration energy harvesting devices. An applied compressive strain is used to drive the system into a nonlinear bistable regime, where quasi ...
