Three-Dimensional Atomic-Scale Structural Transformation in a SrTiO3 Grain Boundary
Xiaoyue Gao, Jiake Wei, Bo Han +9
Grain boundaries (GBs) in complex oxides play critical roles in governing their functional properties, which are intrinsically linked to their three-dimensional (3D) atomic configu…
Nanoscale Thermal Imaging of Dislocation-Mediated Heat Transport
Ruilin Mao, Bingyao Liu, Jiaxin Liu +7
Dislocations in crystalline materials are widely exploited to tailor the thermal conductivity of semiconductors and thermoelectrics, yet a critical gap persists: direct measurement…
Enhanced Superconductivity and Mixed-dimensional Behaviour in Infinite-layer Samarium Nickelate Thin Films
Mingwei Yang, Heng Wang, Jiayin Tang +24
Rare-earth infinite-layer nickelates represent an emerging class of unconventional superconductors, with materials synthesis largely limited to early lanthanide compounds. Here, we…
Precise structure and polarization determination of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 with electron ptychography
Xiaoyue Gao1, Zhuohui Liu, Bo Han +8
Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) is a promising candidate for next generation ferroelectric memories and transistors. However, its ferroelectricity origin is still under debate due to the comple…
