Abstract:Micro-energy harvesters are attracting more and more attention due to the demand of the miniaturization and the self-power for the electrical devices. A three-layered porous piezoelectric (PE)/piezomagnetic (PM) energy harvester at the nanoscale is modeled in this paper. The layered PE/PM structure works in the magnetic field; the electrical power can be obtained from the PE layer due to the magnetostriction of the PM layers. Based on the surface elasticity and Boit’s porous theory, the governing equations and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
