Flexoelectricity and apparent piezoelectricity of a pantographic micro-bar
PublikacjaWe discuss a homogenized model of a pantographic bar considering flexoelectricity. A pantographic bar consists of relatively stiff small bars connected by small soft flexoelectric pivots. As a result, an elongation of the bar relates almost to the torsion of pivots. Taking into account their flexoelectric properties we find the corresponding electric polarization. As a results, the homogenized pantographic bar demonstrates piezoelectric...

Effect of shallow traps on admittance spectra of the system carrying SCLC and on values of charge carrier mobility extracted from susceptance
PublikacjaThe work concerns small-signal spectra of space-charge-limited current below threshold frequency (ft) of shallow traps.
