This work explores the phenomenon of flexoelectricity in nanomaterials and nanostructures by molecular dynamics models and continuum models. Flexoelectricity is an electromechanical phenomenon describing the coupling between ...

This study employs the Element-Free Galerkin method (EFG) to characterize flexoelectricity in a composite material. The presence of the strain gradient term in the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) requires C 1 continuity ...

The oxide materials Ca3Co4O9 and Na2Ca2Nb4O13 were combined in a new ceramic composite with promising synergistic thermoelectric properties. Both compounds show a plate-like crystal shape and similar aspect ratios but the ...

An amorphous polyethylene/silica (PE/S) interface exists in many materials. However, the research of the interfacial properties at microscale is lacking. Shear failure and adhesion properties of an amorphous PE/S interface ...

By cobalt-doping of the mixed conducting phase PSFC, a good combination of high CO2 stability and high oxygen permeability is obtained for the 60 wt% Ce0.9Pr0.1O2-delta d -40 wt% Pr0.6Sr0.4Fe0.5Co0.5O3-delta (CP-PSFC) dual ...
