Excellent Hole Mobility and Out–of–Plane Piezoelectricity in X–Penta–Graphene (X = Si or Ge) with Poisson’s Ratio Inversion

Nanomaterials
Recently, the application of two–dimensional (2D) piezoelectric materials has been seriously hindered because most of them possess only in–plane piezoelectricity but lack out–of–plane piezoelectricity. In this work, using first–principles calculation, by

Nano‐Architected Metallic Metamaterial With Enhanced Fatigue Resistance via Dislocation Starvation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoscale Ni single crystals exhibit remarkable fatigue resistance over an order of magnitude higher than that of bulk single crystals through dislocation starvation. By translating this mechanism into geometric nano‐architecture, nano‐architected Ni single‐crystal metamaterials achieve about twice the fatigue resistance of the bulk, despite their ...
