Abstract
The behavior of an uniaxially pulse-loaded ferroelectric nanowire is simulated using a Landau-Ginzburg type thermodynamic model. Our results show that under a load of suitable magnitude and frequency, an appropriately dimensioned ferroelectric nanowire can produce a sizable alternating current voltage, sufficient for applications as a nanopower source for energy harvesting, or as an effective nanomechanical sensor.
