Characterization of gradient plastic deformation in gradient nanotwinned Cu

Zhao Cheng et al.

Summary: This study aims to reveal the distribution of plastic strain gradients in gradient nanotwinned copper (GNT Cu). Full-field strain mapping reveals the gradient distributions of lateral strains in GNT Cu samples undergoing uniaxial tensile deformation. The results show that with an increasing structural gradient, the lateral strain gradient increases while the maximum lateral strain difference decreases. This gradient distribution of local extra strengths is due to the combined effects of plastic strain gradient and grain size.

NaSr2Nb5O15:Yb3+, Ho3+, Tm3+ transparent glass ceramics: Up-conversion optical thermometry and energy storage property

Junhao Xing et al.

Summary: In this study, rare earth tri-doped precursor glasses and transparent glass-ceramics were developed, and it was found that the up-conversion emission intensity of the latter was significantly enhanced. By controlling the doping ratios of the rare earth ions, multi-ratio optical temperature measurement was achieved, and high sensitivity results were obtained. Additionally, the obtained transparent glass-ceramics exhibited high energy density and power density under charging and discharge conditions, making them suitable for photoelectric conversion applications.

Lead zirconate titanate ceramics with aligned crystallite grains

Jinglei Li et al.

Summary: We developed a seed-passivated texturing process using Ba(Zr, Ti)O3 microplatelet templates to fabricate textured PZT ceramics. This process promotes template-induced grain growth in titanium-rich PZT layers and enables the desired composition through interlayer diffusion of zirconium and titanium. The textured PZT ceramics exhibited excellent properties, with Curie temperatures of 360 degrees C, piezoelectric coefficients d(33) of 760 picocoulombs per newton and g(33) of 100 millivolt meters per newton, and electromechanical couplings k(33) of 0.85. This study overcomes the challenge of fabricating textured rhombohedral PZT ceramics by suppressing the chemical reaction between PZT powder and titanate templates.

Effect of initial particle size on grain microstructure of textured ferroelectric ceramics: A phase-field method and brush technique

Liangliang Liu et al.

Summary: A phase-field model was used to simulate the evolution of grain microstructure in textured ceramics. Textured KSr2Nb5O15 (KSN) ceramics were prepared with acicular KSN particles as raw materials. The effects of initial particle length distribution and diameter on grain growth behavior and electrical properties were investigated. It was found that the influence of initial particle length distribution on grain growth rate mainly depended on its diameter. The use of coarse particles was beneficial in obtaining a microstructure with strongly anisotropic morphology and homogeneous grain size. The obtained KSN ceramics exhibited a high piezoelectric constant and Curie temperature, which were closely related to the grain microstructure.
