Flexoelectricity is a property of a dielectric material where there is coupling between electrical polarization and a strain gradient. This phenomenon is closely related to piezoelectricity, but while piezoelectricity refers to polarization due to uniform strain, flexoelectricity specifically involves polarization due to strain that varies from point to point in the material.
An equivalent oxide thickness usually given in nanometers (nm) is the thickness of silicon oxide film that provides the same electrical performance as that of a high-κ material being used. The term is often used when describing field effect transistors , which rely on an electrically insulating pad of material between a gate and a doped ...

A radome avoids that by covering the antenna's exposed parts with a sturdy, weatherproof material, typically fiberglass, keeping debris or ice away from the antenna, thus preventing any serious issues. One of the main driving forces behind the development of fiberglass as a structural material was the need during World War II for radomes. [6]
A liquid dielectric is a dielectric material in liquid state. Its main purpose is to prevent or rapidly quench electric discharges.Dielectric liquids are used as electrical insulators in high voltage applications, e.g. transformers, capacitors, high voltage cables, and switchgear (namely high voltage switchgear).
A dielectric material is placed between two conducting plates (electrodes), each of area A, and with a separation d. Every electrolytic capacitor in principle forms a "plate capacitor" whose capacitance is greater the larger the electrode area A and the permittivity ε, and the thinner the thickness (d) of the dielectric.
A dielectric is an insulating material, and the dielectric constant of an insulator measures the ability of the insulator to store electric energy in an electrical field. Permittivity is a material's property that affects the Coulomb force between two point charges in the material. Relative permittivity is the factor by which the electric field ...
Electrostriction is a property of all dielectric materials, [2] and is caused by displacement of ions in the crystal lattice upon being exposed to an external electric field. The cause of electrostrictive is linked to anharmonic effects. [2]
