Abstract

Piezoelectric nanowires (NWs) or nanotubes (NTs) are a vital component in nano-electromechanical and piezo-electronic device development. With various cross-sectional geometries achievable, the piezoelectric property-cross sectional shape relation is of fundamental interest. As existing studies (pri...
