Influence of flexoelectric coupling on domain patterns in ferroelectrics

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Petr Yudin

Using Ginzburg-Landau theory and two-dimensional (2D) phase field simulations, we analyze the influence of flexoelectric coupling on the domain patterns in ferroelectrics. The phase field simulations predict that a high strength of the flexoelectric coupli ...

Elastic Coupling between Nonferroelastic Domain Walls

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Petr Yudin, Konstantin Shapovalov

We reveal a strong elastic interaction between nonferroelastic domain walls in ferroelectric thin films. This interaction, having no analogue in bulk materials, is governed by elastic fields that are associated with the domain walls and extends to distance ...

Upper bounds for flexoelectric coefficients in ferroelectrics

Alexander Tagantsev, Petr Yudin

Flexoelectric effect is the response of electric polarization to the mechanical strain gradient. At the nano-scale, where large strain gradients are expected, the flexoelectric effect becomes appreciable and may substitute piezoelectric effect in centrosym ...

Flexoelectric Effect in Solids

Alexander Tagantsev

Flexoelectricity-the coupling between polarization and strain gradients-is a universal effect allowed by symmetry in all materials. Following its discovery several decades ago, studies of flexoelectricity in solids have been scarce due to the seemingly sma ...
