Extreme bending of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) through asymmetric shell deposition, creates strain gradients that impact their electronic properties. This deformation induces a gradient in the electronic band gap, fostering the formation of an intrinsic quasi-electric field. The study delves into understanding spatially complex electric fields via time-resolved nano x-ray diffraction experiments, tracking elastic deformation in bent NWs. Observation of the GaAs NW 111 Bragg peak evolution reveals plastic deformation due to excess photoexcited charge carriers, mitigated by laser fluence adjustment. This exploration leads to the direct observation of eigenmodes associated with piezo-flexoelectric field screening in bent NWs.
