CoordinatorEuropean Comission
Piezoelectricity in two-dimensional (2D) materials is increasingly important because of its potential in realizing thin yet efficient and flexible piezoelectric devices. In contrast to traditional three-dimensional (3D) piezo- and ferroelectrics that are prone to size effects, piezoelectricity in 2D materials may be controlled by flexoe...Acção Integrada Luso Alemã A-26/11 (Acção Integrada Luso Alemã A-26/11)
