Abstract

Kronecker tensor products play an important role in determining the symmetry of material coefficients. By constructing the orthogonal rotation tensor fourth-order Kronecker power, which conforms to the symmetry of the flexoelectric coefficient, for the first time, the matrix structure representation of the flexoelectric coefficient of seven crystal systems, 32 crystal point groups and isotropic is derived. These results confirm the number of independent flexoelectric coefficients and their specific component forms. The correctness of these results is verified by comparing with the findings of a previous work.
