Abstract

Piezoelectric semiconductors (PS) nanofibers, which simultaneously exhibit piezoelectricity and unique electric conductive behavior, have huge applications in sensors, energy harvesters, and piezoelectric field effect transistors. Electromechanical fields and charge carrier in PS nanofibers can be effectively controlled by a mechanical force. One-dimensional linear equations for PS nanofibers, which are suitable for small axial force and small electron concentration perturbation, are presented. Analytical expressions for the electromechanical fields and electron concentration in the fiber are obtained. Numerical results show that the electromechanical fields near the two ends are sensitive to the initial electron concentration and the applied axial force.
