Large and Tunable Polar-Toroidal Coupling in Ferroelectric Composite Nanowires toward Superior Electromechanical Responses
The collective dipole behaviors in (BaTiO3)m/(SrTiO3)n composite nanowires are investigated based on the first-principles-derived simulations. It demonstrates that such nanowire systems exhibit intriguing dipole orders, due to the combining effect of the anisotropic electrostatic interaction of the nanowire, the SrTiO3-layer-modified electrostatic interaction and the multiphase ground state of ...
متن کاملElectromechanical coupling I. Introduction.
In skeletal muscle fibres contraction is initiated by the action potential which travels inward along the transverse tubular system and causes in some way the release of Ca from the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Ca-release is probably controlled by a potential-sensor (intram em brane charge movement) in the wall of the T-system which in a triad is about 10 20 nm apart f...
متن کاملGiant electromechanical coupling of relaxor ferroelectrics controlled by polar nanoregion vibrations
Relaxor-based ferroelectrics are prized for their giant electromechanical coupling and have revolutionized sensor and ultrasound applications. A long-standing challenge for piezoelectric materials has been to understand how these ultrahigh electromechanical responses occur when the polar atomic displacements underlying the response are partially broken into polar nanoregions (PNRs) in relaxor-b...
متن کاملElectromechanical Coupling in Tubular Muscle Fibers
The tubular fibers of the claw-closer muscle of the scorpion have a central core containing nuclei and mitochondria. The myofibrils have the shape of thin lamellae (1 micro) extending radially from the core to the surface membrane (20 micro). The thick myofilaments are organized in a hexagonal array with orbits of 10-13 thin myofilaments. The ratio of thick-to-thin filaments is 1:5. Transverse ...
متن کاملAtrial electromechanical coupling intervals in pregnant subjects
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate atrial conduction abnormalities obtained by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and electrocardiogram analysis in pregnant subjects. METHODS A total of 30 pregnant subjects (28 ± 4 years) and 30 controls (28 ± 3 years) were included. Systolic and diastolic left ventricular (LV) function was measured using conventional echocardiography and TDI. Inter-at...
