  • Flexoelectric Engineering: from Fundamentals to Emerging Technologies

Flexoelectric Engineering: from Fundamentals to Emerging Technologies

Submission Deadline: September 30, 2025Contribute to this Special Topic
Flexoelectric polarization is induced by strain gradients that break inversion symmetry in otherwise nonpolar materials. Flexoelectric engineering is a powerful tool to engineer a wide range of materials, structures, and devices, including piezoelectric actuators, field effect transistors, and photodetectors. This Special Topic highlights emerging research on flexoelectric engineering including applications of multifunctional materials, flexoelectricity characterization, and exotic couplings such as flexomagnetism, flexo-magneto-electricity, and photo-flexoelectricity.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Applications of flexoelectric effects
  • Flexoelectric engineering: experimental methodology and computational approaches
  • Electromechanics of flexible meso- and nanoscale objects: theory, experiment and implications for condensed and soft matter, bio-engineering and energy harvesting
  • Flexoelectricity in low-dimensional, graded and layered systems, including van der Waals and sliding ferroelectrics, ferrielectrics and ferroionics
  • Flexo-magneto-electric, flexo-antiferrodistortive, flexo-photovoltaic and other exotic couplings, including flexo-phonons, flexo-ferrons and flexo-polaritons
  • Flexo-sensitive chiral/curvilinear domain structures in ferroics and multiferroics
