The review provides a comprehensive overview on the major findings regarding ion
redistribution at interfaces in oxide systems and its effects on the electrical transport …

The potential of dislocations (line defects) in ceramics may have been greatly underrated
until most recently. Promising proofs‐of‐concept have been demonstrated for dislocation …

In this chapter we will review a few examples of applications of atomic resolution aberration
corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron energy-loss …

Most oxide ceramics are known to be brittle macroscopically at room temperature with little
or no dislocation‐based plasticity prior to crack propagation. Here, we demonstrate the size …

Surface microstructural modifications of 2A12 aluminum alloy exposed to 60 keV Ar ion
bombardment with the dose of 1× 10 17 ions/cm 2 under vacuum were studied in detail. The …

By using the state-of-the-art microscopy and spectroscopy in aberration-corrected scanning
transmission electron microscopes, we determine the atomic arrangements, occupancy …

Dislocations in perovskite oxides have been found to have important impacts on their
electronic and ionic transportation properties, which are believed to be related to the …

The ductile deformation of strontium titanate SrTiO 3 at low temperature (T⪅ 1000 K) is
commonly associated with the activity of dislocations gliding in {110} slip planes. While …

Recently, several captivating topological structures of electric dipole moments (eg, vortex,
flux closure) have been reported in ferroelectrics with reduced size/dimensions. However …

Extended defects are of considerable importance in determining the electronic properties of
semiconductors, especially in photovoltaics (PVs), due to their effects on electron-hole …
