Measuring direct flexoelectricity at the nanoscale

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Daniel Moreno Garcia

Flexoelectricity is a property of all dielectric materials, where inhomogeneous strain induces electrical polarization. This effect becomes particularly prominent at the nanoscale where larger strain gradients can be obtained. While flexoelectric charges h ...

Study of Ionized Particles in a Gyrotron Using a Full Gyrotron Simulation Model

Jean-Philippe Hogge, Jérémy Genoud

The ionization of the residual gas in gyrotrons causes the generation of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. Using the electron optics code Ariadne, it was possible to simulate the behavior of these electrons in the overall gyrotron g ...

Dual-protected zinc anodes for long-life aqueous zinc ion battery with bifunctional interface constructed by zwitterionic surfactants

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson

The dendrite growth on the surface of zinc anodes and formation of inactive by-products of Zn4(OH)6SO4.xH2O (ZHS), mainly attributed to the "tip effect" of an uneven surface and water corrosion of zinc anode, have seriously shrunk the anode life and hinder ...

Directional ballistic transport in the two-dimensional metal PdCoO2

Matthias Carsten Putzke

In an idealized infinite crystal, the material properties are constrained by the symmetries of the unit cell. The point-group symmetry is broken by the sample shape of any finite crystal, but this is commonly unobservable in macroscopic metals. To sense th ...

Second-harmonic generation in atomically thin 1T-TiSe2 and its possible origin from charge density wave transitions

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) can only occur in noncentrosymmetric crystals in the leading electric-dipole approximation. Transition metal dichalcogenides with the 1T octahedral coordination is centrosymmetric, hence precluding SHG. Here we repo ...
