Flexoelectric - piezoelectric composite based on flexoelectric charge separation

摘要: An example flexoelectric-piezoelectric apparatus provides an electrical response to applied force, and/or actuation in electric field, that originates from the flexoelectric properties of a component. For example, shaped forms within may be configured yield stress gradient on application and induces signal. A can substituted for conventional piezoelectric apparatus, but does not require use material. Instead, is due generation gradients field gradients.
