Different from conventional electroactive polymers, here we firstly present a new facile actuator made from aluminum alloy. The high-frequency electrically induced flapping motion was characterized under varied physical factors. This electroactuation results from alternative processes of charge induction and discharge, which is confirmed by the existence of periodical pulse current in the circuit. The metal actuator is of great stability and can maintain several days if not for any structural fatigue. Easy fabrication, high tunable frequency and durability make it potential for implementation of actuators for sensors, microelectromechanical systems and robotics.

At B3LYP level of theory, we predict that the half-metallicity in zigzag edge graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) can be realized when an external electric field is applied across the ribbon. The critical electric field to induce the half-metallicity decrease s with the increase of the ribbon width. Both the spin polarization and half-metallicity are removed when the edge state electrons fully transferred from one side to the other under very strong electric field. The electric field range under which ZGNR remain half-metallic increases with the ribbon width. Our study demonstrates a rich field-induced spin polarization behavior, which may leads to some important applications in spinstronics.

We show that strong enough electric fields can trigger nucleation of needle-shaped metallic embryos in insulators, even when the metal phase is energetically unfavorable without the field. This general phenomenon is due to the gigantic induced dipole moments acquired by the embryos which cause sufficient electrostatic energy gain. Nucleation kinetics are exponentially accelerated by the field-induced suppression of nucleation barriers. Our theory opens the venue of field driven material synthesis. In particular, we briefly discuss synthesis of metallic hydrogen at standard pressure.
The advances in the fields of scanning probe microscopy, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, point contact spectroscopy and point contact Andreev reflection spectroscopy to study the properties of conventional and quantum materials at cryogenic conditio ns have prompted the development of nanopositioners and nanoscanners with enhanced spatial resolution. Piezoelectric-actuator stacks as nanopositioners with working strokes $>100~mumathrm{m}$ and positioning resolution $sim$(1-10) nm are desirable for both basic research and industrial applications. However, information on the performance of most commercial piezoelectric-actuators in cryogenic environment and in the presence of magnetic fields in excess of 5,T is generally not available. In particular, the magnitude, rate and the associated hysteresis of the piezo-displacement at cryogenic temperatures are the most relevant parameters that determine whether a particular piezoelectric-actuator can be used as a nanopositioner. Here, the design and realization of an experimental set-up based on interferometric techniques to characterize a commercial piezoelectric-actuator over a temperature range of $2~mathrm{K}leq{T}leq260~mathrm{K}$ and magnetic fields up to 6,T is presented. The studied piezoelectric-actuator has a maximum displacement of $30~mumathrm{m}$ at room temperature for a maximum driving voltage of 75,V, which reduces to $1.2~mumathrm{m}$ with an absolute hysteresis of $left(9.1pm3.3right)~mathrm{nm}$ at $T=2,mathrm{K}$. The magnetic field is shown to have no substantial effect on the piezo properties of the studied piezoelectric-actuator stack.
Atomic-scale magnetic nanostructures are promising candidates for future information processing devices. Utilizing external electric field to manipulate their magnetic properties is an especially thrilling project. Here, by careful identifying differ ent contributions of each atomic orbital to the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of the ferromagnetic metal films, we argue that it is possible to engineer both the MAE and the magnetic response to the electric field of atomic-scale magnetic nanostructures. Taking the iron monolayer as a matrix, we propose several interesting iron nanostructures with dramatically different magnetic properties. Such nanostructures could exhibit strong magnetoelectric effect. Our work may open a new avenue to the artificial design of electrically controlled magnetic devices.
We have developed an approach to control the carrier density in various material under high pressure by the combination of an electric double layer transistor (EDLT) with a diamond anvil cell (DAC). In this study, this EDLT-DAC was applied to a Bi th in film, and here we report the field-effect under high pressure in the material. Our EDLT-DAC is a promising device for exploring unknown physical phenomena such as high transition-temperature superconductivity (HTS).
