Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging of Ferroelastic Domains

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A simple scanning electron microscopy technique, electron channeling contrast imaging, unveils nanoscale ferroelastic domains and their coupling to functional properties in oxide heterostructures. The work demonstrates high‐resolution mapping of both surface and buried domains, broadening the experimental toolbox for ferroic and quantum oxide systems ...

Classical or equilibrium thermodynamics: basic conceptual aspects

Semina: Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, 2008
The Classical or Equilibrium Thermodynamics is one of the most consolidated fields of Physics. It is synthesized by a well-known and self coherent knowledge structure. The essence of the Classical Thermodynamics theoretical structure consists of a set of

C16 Phase High Entropy Borides With High Magnetic Anisotropy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rare‐earth‐free C16‐phase high entropy boride thin films exhibit enhanced magnetic anisotropy with coercivities surpassing their binary and ternary counterparts. Combinatorial synthesis of (Fe‐Co‐Ni‐Mn)2B films combined with density functional theory enables mapping of the magnetic properties across the composition space, revealing high entropy ...

Gradient‐Modified Li‐Rich Manganese‐Based Oxides Cathodes with Breakthrough of Kinetic Limitation for High‐Performance All‐Solid‐State Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The novel gradient‐modified LRMO has been synthesized via a one‐step mechano‐fusion process, with simultaneous S and Zr co‐doping in the near‐surface region and an amorphous coating. The synergistic co‐functionalization stabilizes the oxygen framework, enhances charge transport, and suppresses oxygen dimerization under high potential, which enable ...

Opportunities for Multiscale Pattern Modulation with Temporally Arrested Breath Figures

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This works presents the temporally arrested breath figure methodology and its opportunities for pattern modulation. Through thermodynamic and photochemical phase change handles, this method uses drop‐wise condensation as a dynamic template for fast, accessible and scalable micropatterning.

Laser‐Synthesized Amorphous PdSe2‐x Nanoparticles: A Defect‐Rich Platform for High‐Efficiency SERS, Photocatalysis, and Photothermal Conversion

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Using femtosecond ablation, we show that an ordered, stoichiometric crystalline PdSe2 target can be controllably converted into a stable, disordered, non‐stoichiometric, and highly functional amorphous nanomaterial, PdSe2−x${\rm PdSe}_{2-x}$. The obtained nanoparticles offer significant advantages over conventional planar plasmon‐free substrates due to

Pattern Formation in Non‐Equilibrium Architected Materials

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates an artificial mechanical system ‐ a robotic metamaterial ‐ as an accessible and versatile platform within which to explore and prescribe the reaction‐diffusion driven pattern formation hitherto associated with comparatively less accessible and versatile non‐equilibrium biological and chemical systems.
