Diffusive intracellular and extracellular ions induce a gradient electromagnetic field that
regulates membrane potential, and energy injection from external stimuli breaks the energy …

The piezo-phototronic effect (a coupling effect of piezoelectric, photoexcitation and
semiconducting properties, coined in 2010) has been demonstrated to be an ingenious and …

Low-dimensional piezoelectric semiconductor nanomaterials, such as ZnO and GaN, have
superior mechanical properties and can be integrated into flexible devices that can be …

Emulation of the sensation of touch through high-resolution electronic means could become
important in future generations of robotics and human–machine interfaces. Here, we …

Rapid charge transfer in various piezoelectric semiconductors is usually limited, which has
thus hardly achieved a higher mechanochemical potential elicited by macroscopic …

The fundamental principle of piezotronics and piezo‐phototronics were introduced by Wang
in 2007 and 2010, respectively. Due to the polarization of ions in a crystal that has non …

Due to the polarization of ions in a crystal that has non-central symmetry, a piezoelectric
potential (piezopotential) is created in the crystal by applying a stress. For materials such as …

Due to polarization of ions in crystals with noncentral symmetry, such as ZnO, GaN, and InN,
a piezoelectric potential (piezopotential) is created in the crystal when stress is applied …

Among various piezoelectric materials, ZnO has attracted a great deal of attention due to
facile preparations and exceptional semiconductor characteristics compared to other …

We demonstrate the piezoelectric effect on the responsivity of a metal− semiconductor−
metal ZnO micro-/nanowire photodetector. The responsivity of the photodetector is …
