Flexoelectricity in Ceramics and their Application

Flexoelectricity is the ability of materials to generate a voltage when they are bent or, conversely, to bend under voltage. Flexoelectricity can be present in all materials; however, the magnitude of the flexoelectric coefficients is so small that flexoelectricity is virtually imperceptible on the human scale. The book''s objective is to look at the flexoelectric effect in ceramics for various ap...
