Oxygen octahedral tilts underpin the functionality of a large number perovskite-based materials and heterostructures with competing order parameters. We show how precise analysis atomic column shapes in Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy images can reveal polarization tilt behavior across uncharged charged domain walls BiFeO3. This method is capable visualizing to much higher thicknesses than phase contrast imaging. find that transition wall atomically abrupt, while...
Abstract For the utilization of graphene in various energy storage and conversion applications, it must be synthesized bulk with reliable controllable electrical properties. Although nitrogen-doped shows a high doping efficiency, its properties can easily affected by oxygen water impurities from environment.

Many applications, most notably memory and optical devices use ferroelectric materials. For many years the evolution of field has revolved around understanding materials science behind complex structures like artificial superlattices based mainly on perovskite-structure oxides. The recent discovery ferroelectricity in fluorite-structure oxides opened a new research direction. However, formation unstable or metastable phases atomic layer deposited fluorite inhibited full origin these This...
The origin of the irreversible capacity O3-type NaFeO2 charged to high voltage is investigated by analyzing oxidation state Fe and phase transition layered cathodes for sodium-ion batteries during charging process. In-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy results revealed that charge compensation does not occur through Fe3+/Fe4+ redox reaction sodium extraction as no significant shift energy was observed in K-edge. These were reinforced with ex-situ near-edge spectroscopy, which suggests oxygen...

Exchange is observed in naturally oxidized ferromagnet Fe3GeTe2, owing antiferromagnetic...
Chemical short-range order in disordered solid solutions often emerges with specific heat treatments. Unlike thermally activated ordering, mechanically derived (MSRO) a multi-principal-element Fe40Mn40Cr10Co10 (at%) alloy originates from tensile deformation at 77 K, and its degree/extent can be tailored by adjusting the loading rates under quasistatic conditions. The mechanical response multi-length-scale characterisation pointed to minor contribution of MSRO formation yield strength,...
The Y28Ti28Al24Co20 alloy undergoes metastable liquid phase separation in the under-cooled state and subsequently solidifies into two different Y-rich Ti-rich amorphous phases. Secondary occurs due to supersaturation of primary separated liquids as temperature decreases. Depending on degree local undercooling, a wide range length scale microstructure is observed. characteristic phases ∼250nm near air side ribbon, ∼25nm wheel ribbon.
