Abstract:The quest for pure flexoelectricity has brought about various theoretical and experimental approaches to eliminate piezoelectric contributions from the flexoelectric measurements. Herein, we propose a first-principles approach to measure flexoelectricity. We compute the corresponding piezoelectric contribution and subtract it from the total local polarization rather than devising the system having the inversion symmetry to acquire the pure flexoelectric contribution. This approach is applied to experimentally … Show more
