      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      We demonstrate gettering of metal impurities in p-type multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafers by annealing wafers that are surface passivated by double layers of amorphous silicon-based compounds acting as gettering sites. ...
    • Topology optimization of flexoelectric metamaterials with apparent piezoelectricity 

      Greco, Francesco; Codony Gisbert, David; Mohammadi, Hossein; Fernández Méndez, Sonia; Arias Vicente, Irene (Elsevier, 2024-02-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The flexoelectric effect, coupling polarization and strain gradient as well as strain and electric field gradients, is universal to dielectrics, but, as compared to piezoelectricity, it is more difficult to harness as it ...
