Thermoelectrics, enabling the direct energy conversion between electricity and heat, provide
alternatives for conventional power generation and refrigeration with considerable …

This review covers important advances in recent years in the physics of thin-film ferroelectric
oxides, the strongest emphasis being on those aspects particular to ferroelectrics in thin-film …

Abstract High‐entropy oxides (HEOs), which incorporate multiple‐principal cations into
single‐phase crystals and interact with diverse metal ions, extend the border for available …

The oxide with nominal composition Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is a promising solid electrolyte
thanks to its high (bulk) Li-ion conductivity, negligible electronic transport, chemical stability …

The great variability in the electrical properties of multinary oxide materials, ranging from
insulating, through semiconducting to metallic behaviour, has given rise to the idea of …

This article reviews the current understanding of the electrical properties of the grain
boundaries of acceptor-doped zirconia and ceria, however, with an emphasis on the grain …

Li-ion-conducting solid electrolytes are the potential solution to the severe safety issues that
occur with conventional batteries based on solvent-based electrolytes. The ionic conductivity …

The ability to localize, identify, and measure the electronic environment of individual atoms
will provide fundamental insights into many issues in materials science, physics, and …

Owing to the broken translational symmetry at dislocations, a strain gradient naturally exists
around the dislocation cores and can significantly influence the electrical and mechanical …

Grain boundaries (GBs) are a prolific microstructural feature that dominates the functionality
of a wide class of materials. The functionality at a GB results from the unique atomic …
