Influence of dislocation density on the tribological response in oxides: case study on SrTiO3

Chukwudalu Okafor, Oliver Preuß, Thomas Chudoba +6

Most ceramics suffer from brittle surface damage and cracking when small particles slide across the surface under low load. Microscratching tests are a useful technique to mimic th…

Dislocation-point defect interaction on plasticity across the length scale in SrTiO3

Chukwudalu Okafor, Kohei Takahara, Svetlana Korneychuk +7

Point defect engineering is widely used to tailor the electronic and transport properties of complex oxides, yet its influence on dislocation plasticity remains poorly understood.…

Room-temperature dislocation plasticity in ceramics: Methods, Materials, and Mechanisms

Alexander Frisch, Chukwudalu Okafor, Oliver Preuß +5

Dislocation-mediated plastic deformation in ceramic materials has sparked renewed research interest due to the technological potential of dislocations. Despite the long research hi…

Coupled electromigration-nanoindentation study on dislocation nucleation in SrTiO3

Chukwudalu Okafor, Ahmad Sayyadi-Shahraki, Sebastian Bruns +5

Modern functional oxides are mainly engineered by doping, essentially by tuning the defect chemistry. Recent studies suggest that dislocations offer a new perspective for enhancing…

Room-temperature bulk plasticity and tunable dislocation densities in KTaO3

Xufei Fang, Jiawen Zhang, Alexander Frisch +4

We report room-temperature bulk plasticity mediated by dislocations in single-crystal cubic KTaO3, contrasting the conventional knowledge that single-crystal KTaO3 is susceptible t…
