All-inorganic lead halide perovskites (CsPbX3, X= Cl, Br or I) are becoming increasingly
important for energy conversion and optoelectronics because of their outstanding …

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 …

Traditionally, it is relatively easy to process metal materials and polymers (plastics), while
ceramic and inorganic semiconductor materials are hard to process, due to their intrinsic …

High-entropy materials are considered to be born with lattice distortion, which is still lack of
comprehensive investigation in rare earth silicates to date. In this paper, we confirmed the …

The tantalum carbides, TaC x, have been repeatedly shown to harden dramatically with
some loss of carbon content, then soften with further decarburization. First observed in 1963 …

In the realm of ferroelectric memories, HfO2-based ferroelectrics stand out because of their
exceptional CMOS compatibility and scalability. Nevertheless, their switchable polarization …

Rare earth zirconates exhibit potential as thermal barrier coatings, but their limited
toughness impedes their widespread use. To address this issue, rare earth aluminates are …

Constructing large lattice mismatch interfaces, especially two-dimensional materials such as
MoS 2, is the key to reaching the structural lubricity of heterogeneous structures. Large …

The fracture toughness (K IC) of high-entropy oxides (HEOs) is critically important for several
applications, but identification and quantification of the toughening mechanisms resulting …

Fiber toughening is considered an effective way to strengthen the toughness of traditional
sintered ceramics. Herein, ZrO 2 fibers toughened Al 2 O 3/ZrO 2 (Y 2 O 3) directionally …
