6 NOV 2011 – NATURE PHYSICS : CONDUCTIVE 1D VORTEX-CORES

Adaptive 1D structures in condensed matter systems offer a powerful paradigm for nanoscale device engineering due to the combination of unique physical properties and capability for manipulation by external magnetic, electric, or strain fields without the disruption of the host lattice. ... read more

18 Oct 2011 - Ultra-thin piezoelectrics for energy harvesting

Flexoelectricity has been shown in ultra-thin films of piezoelectric materials deposited under carefully designed conditions. Huge strain gradients (large differences in the distances between atoms) introduce a new mechanism to produce the piezoelectricity. The results has been published in Nature Materials. ... read more
