Electromechanical metamaterials have been the focus of many recent studies for use in simultaneous energy harvesting and vibration control. Metamaterials with quasiperiodic patterns possess useful topological properties that make them a good candidate study. However, it is currently unknown what effect electromechanical coupling may on bandgaps localized edge modes metamaterial. In this paper, ...

Dipolar molecular crystals present different physical properties from traditionally strongly correlated ionic solid-state inorganic crystals due to the weak intermolecular bonding. Herein, centrosymmetric dipolar molecular crystals of the organoruthenium complex trans-[Ru(C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(C≡CPh)(dppe)2] [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane] display a large electric-field-induced strain behavi...

A thermodynamic model was constructed to analyze the negative capacitance effect in the presence of piezoelectricity. The model demonstrated that while piezoelectricity can lead to negative capacitance in principle, it is not strong enough in practice due to the unphysical amounts of charge and strain required. The inclusion of higher-order electromechanical coupling such as electrostriction ca...

Solving intractable mathematical problems in simulators composed of atoms, ions, photons, or electrons has recently emerged as a subject of intense interest. We extend this concept to phonons that are localized in spectrally pure resonances in an electromechanical system that enables their interactions to be exquisitely fashioned via electrical means. We harness this platform to emulate the Isi...

The elastic, piezoelectric, and dielectric constants of 0.67Pb~Mg1/3Nb2/3!O3–0.33PbTiO3 domain engineered single crystal were determined experimentally by using ultrasonic and resonance methods. It was confirmed that the single crystal system has large electromechanical coupling coefficient k33 ~;94%! and piezoelectric constant d33 ~;2800 pC/N! if the poling is done along the @001# of pseudocub...

Electromechanical property measurements and microstructure observations using optical microscopy were performed on a [001] c oriented k33 resonator made of 91%Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-9%PbTiO3 single crystal, which was polarized under different electric fields. At room temperature, when the poling field is 1100 V/mm, the electromechanical coupling factor k33 is 0.90 and piezoelectric coefficient d33 is...

We have studied thedielectric and electromechanical properties of pure and doped Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3thin films.Samples were prepared bya sol-gel method and werecalcined at temperatures of 700oC for two hours in a Pb-rich atmosphere.It was observed a negligible effect occurs during the tetragonal–rhombohedral transition in the preparedpure and doped PZT thin films.The optimal amount of electrical...

It is well-known that the nonlinear coupling between a mechanical oscillator and a superconducting resonator or optical cavity can be used to generate a Kerrnonlinearity for the cavity mode. We show that the strength of this Kerr-nonlinearity, as well as the effect of the photon-pressure force can be enormously increased by modulating the strength of the nonlinear coupling. We describe an elect...
