Crystallographic analysis relies on the scattering of quanta from arrays of atoms that
populate a repeating lattice. While large crystals built of lattices that appear ideal are sought …

While age-hardened austenitic high-Mn and high-Al lightweight steels exhibit excellent
strength-ductility combinations, their properties are strongly degraded when mechanically …

Crystalline materials used in technological applications are often complex assemblies
composed of multiple phases and differently oriented grains. Robust identification of the …

Grain boundaries, the two-dimensional defects between differently oriented crystals, tend to
preferentially attract solutes for segregation. Solute segregation has a significant effect on …

This work presents the new template matching capabilities implemented in Pyxem, an open
source Python library for analyzing four-dimensional scanning transmission electron …

Nanoscale polycrystalline thin-film heterostructures are central to microelectronics, for
example, metals used as interconnects and high-K oxides used in dynamic random-access …

The technique known as 4D-STEM has recently emerged as a powerful tool for the local
characterization of crystalline structures in materials, such as cathode materials for Li-ion …

Map** the spatial distribution of crystal phases with nm-scale spatial resolution is an
important characterisation task in studies of multi-phase materials. One popular approach is …

When solid-state redox-driven phase transformations are associated with mass loss,
vacancies are produced that develop into pores. These pores can influence the kinetics of …

The mechanical strength of sintered nanoparticles (NPs) limits their application in advanced
electronics packaging. In this study, we explore the anisotropy in the microstructure and …
