Engineering polar discontinuities in honeycomb lattices

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Marco Gibertini

Unprecedented and fascinating phenomena have been recently observed at oxide interfaces between centrosymmetric cubic materials, where polar discontinuities can give rise to polarization charges and electric fields that drive a metal-insulator transition a ...

Electro and pressure tunable cholesteric liquid crystal devices based on ion-implanted flexible substrates

Herbert Shea, Andreas Vasdekis, Muhamed Niklaus, Jae-Woo Choi, Luc Maffli, Luciano De Sio

We report an electro-responsive and pressure sensitive device based on conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) combined with a short pitch Cholesteric Liquid Crystal (CLC). Ion-implantation and surface chemistry in PDMS enable both the induction of conducti ...

Positive effective Q(12) electrostrictive coefficient in perovskites

Alexander Tagantsev, Alexander Kvasov

It is demonstrated that for classical perovskites, such as BaTiO3; SrTiO3, and PbTiO3, electrostrictive strain induced by an electric field may not obey traditionally considered "extension along the field and contraction perpendicular to it" behavior if th ...

Estimation of Relative Position and Coordination of Mobile Underwater Robotic Platforms through Electric Sensing

Auke Ijspeert, Yannick Morel, Mathieu Porez

In the context of underwater robotics, positioning and coordination of mobile agents can prove a challenging problem. To address this issue, we propose the use of electric sensing, with a technique inspired by weakly electric fishes. In particular, the app ...

Lightning Electromagnetic Fields at Very Close Distances Associated with Lightning Strikes to the Gaisberg Tower

Marcos Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello, Pierre Zweiacker, Abdolhamid Shoory, Seyed Abbas Mosaddeghi

In this paper we present and discuss measurements of electric (vertical and radial) and magnetic fields from leaders and return strokes associated with lightning strikes to the 100 m tall Gaisberg tower in Austria obtained in 2007 and 2008. The fields were ...

Strong ferroelectric domain-wall pinning in BiFeO3 ceramics

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Marija Kosec

We have studied the polarization-electric-field hysteresis, the dielectric permittivity dispersion, the piezoelectric properties, the electric-field-induced strain, and the interrelations between these properties for bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) ceramics. The ...

First-principles study of high-field piezoelectricity in tetragonal PbTiO3

Anindya Roy, Massimiliano Stengel

We calculate from first principles the nonlinear piezoelectric response of ferroelectric PbTiO3 for the case of a polarization-enhancing electric field applied along the tetragonal axis. We focus mainly on the case of fixed in-plane lattice constants, corr ...

Controlled entrapment of cells in hydrogels on chip and cell sorting by dielectrophoresis using liquid electrodes

Thomas Michael Braschler

Alginate gel formation on-chip is presented in the first part of this thesis. The technique allows immobilization, and release, of biological cells on-chip. Furthermore, via layer by layer deposition, a locally heterogeneous environment can be generated at ...

Field-dependent dielectric and magnetic properties in multiferroic CdCr2S4

Helmuth Berger

Based on the results of field-dependent dielectric and magnetic measurements, we observe several interesting behaviors and phase transitions in this geometrically frustrated spinel system CdCr2S4. (1) A glassy dipolar state occurs near T-C similar to 85 K, ...
