TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of functional properties was observed on cyclic tensile curves with emphases on the critical stress for inducing martensitic transformation and the mechanical recoverable strain.

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy results identified that the as-grown Si-doped HfO2 films have strained fluorite structures, and clearly demonstrates that the ferroelectricity originates from the noncentrosymmetric Pca21 polar structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used pulsed laser deposition to successfully grow epitaxial Hf 0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) films on (001)-, (011)- and (111)-oriented yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates using TiN as the bottom electrode.

TL;DR: In this paper, powder mixtures at atomic ratios suitable for formation of single-phase oxides were flash sintered at 1000°C and 40mA/mm2, and X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive spectroscopy analyses revealed the formation of oxides after sintering for 1min.

TL;DR: In this paper, the underlying nucleation and growth mechanisms of Fe-rich phases during the solidification of Al-5Ti-1B-modified Al-2Fe alloys were revealed through synchrotron X-ray imaging and electron microscopy.
