Unraveling impacts of polycrystalline microstructures on ionic conductivity of ceramic electrolytes by computational homogenization and machine learning

Xiang-Long Peng, Bai-Xiang Xu

The ionic conductivity at the grain boundaries (GBs) in oxide ceramics is typically several orders of magnitude lower than that within the grain interior. This detrimental GB effect is the main ...

Tutorial: Defects in topological semimetals

Kirstin Alberi, Chase Brooks et al.

Three-dimensional topological semimetals are a class of electronic materials in which their bulk and surface states contain linear band touching nodes near the Fermi level. Like semiconductors, their ...

Characterizing polarization switching kinetics of ferroelectric Hf_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ at cryogenic temperature

Jiacheng Xu, Rongzong Shen et al.

We have characterized polarization switching kinetics of Hf_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ (HZO) at cryogenic temperature (T) down to 100 K. By the nucleation-limited-switching model with Lorentzian distribution ...

Coupled electro-chemo-viscoelastic constitutive model for a supercapacitor electrode

James G. Boyd, Dimitrios Loufakis et al.

The motion of ions in supercapacitor electrodes produces internal stresses that cause viscoelastic strains. In addition, stresses may be due to external forces applied to structural supercapacitors, ...
