Abstract The flexoelectric effect is investigated in quantum dot (QD)
nano-sized structures. The lattice mismatch between QD and matrix
results in non-uniform strains and presence of the strain gradients in the
structure. The strain gradients induces the change of the polarization in
QD structure as a consequence of the flexoelectric effect. When the
dimensions of the QDs are of the same order of magnitude as the material
length scale, gradient elasticity theory should be used to account for the
size dependent of such nano-sized QDs. In this work the flexoelectric
theory is applied for 3D analysis More >
