TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent electron microscopy investigations towards understanding the ion transport behavior in solid electrolyte materials and their interfaces is presented, highlighting the influence of individual grain microstructure on ion conductivity, the contribution of grain boundaries, and the behavior of solid electrolytes/electrode interfaces.

TL;DR: Randomly distributed atomic-level defects in the magnetic topological insulator MnSb${}{2}$Te${}_{4}$ help stabilize ferromagnetic interactions but are detrimental to topological electronic properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a facile synthesis of Pd@Rh core-shell nanocrystals with octahedral and cubic shapes was reported, and the results indicated that there was no significant difference between the octagonal and cubic Pd-@Rh nanocrysts in terms of performance towards CO oxidation while both of them are advantageous over Rh nanocubes or Rh/C.

TL;DR: The results emphasize the importance of strain engineering for tuning electromechanical responses or, creating unique energy harvesting photonic structures, in oxide thin film architectures with under large epitaxial strain BiFeO3 thin films.

TL;DR: In this paper, a robust, one-pot method based on polyol reduction was proposed for the facile synthesis of Rh decahedral nanocrystals in high purity, with sub-20nm sizes.
