Non-linear macroscopic polarization in III-V nitride alloys

open access: yes, 2001
We study the dependence of macroscopic polarization on composition and strain in wurtzite III-V nitride ternary alloys using ab initio density-functional techniques.

Application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) to Analyze the Mechanical Behavior of Piezoelectric Materials When an Electric Field Is Applied to a Piezoelectric Structure (Inverse Piezoelectricity)

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings
Modeling the inverse impact of piezoelectricity on the mechanical response of smart (piezoelectric) materials through the finite element method (FEM) requires a comprehensive framework that encompasses a multitude of components and intricacies.

Strain gradient induced polarization in SrTiO3 single crystals

open access: yes, 2007
Piezoelectricity is inherent only in noncentrosymmetric materials, but a piezoelectric response can also be obtained in centrosymmetric crystals if subjected to inhomogeneous deformation. This phenomenon, known as flexoelectricity, affects the functional

Pressure-Induced Anomalous Phase Transitions and Colossal Enhancement of Piezoelectricity in PbTiO$_3$

open access: yes, 2005
We find an unexpected tetragonal-to-monoclinic-to-rhombohedral-to-cubic phase transition sequence induced by pressure, and a morphotropic phase boundary in a pure compound using first-principles calculations.

An investigation of PDMS structures for optimized ferroelectret performance

open access: yes, 2014
This paper reports the ANSYS simulation and fabrication processes for optimising PDMS ferroelectret performance. The proposed model extends the previously published analytical models and compares this with simulation of individual void geometry.

Propagation of extensional waves in a piezoelectric semiconductor rod

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2016
We studied the propagation of extensional waves in a thin piezoelectric semiconductor rod of ZnO whose c-axis is along the axis of the rod. The macroscopic theory of piezoelectric semiconductors was used which consists of the coupled equations of ...

Effects of macroscopic polarization in III-V nitride multi-quantum-wells

open access: yes, 1999
Huge built-in electric fields have been predicted to exist in wurtzite III-V nitrides thin films and multilayers. Such fields originate from heterointerface discontinuities of the macroscopic bulk polarization of the nitrides.
