Dislocations are commonly present and important in metals but their effects have not been
fully recognized in oxide ceramics. The large strain energy raised by the rigid ionic/covalent …

The potential of dislocations (line defects) in ceramics may have been greatly underrated
until most recently. Promising proofs‐of‐concept have been demonstrated for dislocation …

Based on the results of numerical calculations as well as those of some related experiments
which are reviewed in the present paper, it is suggested that solid electrolytes filled with …

Dislocations are usually expected to degrade electrical, thermal and optical functionality and
to tune mechanical properties of materials. Here, we demonstrate a general framework for …

Photocatalysis technology shows a great potential in environmental pollution governance
because it can effectively control pollutants without producing secondary pollution …

Flash sintering involves very rapid densification of ceramic powder compacts during a
thermal runaway induced by an applied voltage and current. The mechanisms of fast …

Dislocations are 1D crystallographic line defects and are usually seen as detrimental to the
functional properties of classic semiconductors. It is shown here that this not necessarily …

Dislocation‐tuned functionality in ceramic oxides for potential versatile applications gains
increasing attention. As the widespread chemical doping suffers from poor temperature …

Dislocation‐tuned functional properties such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity,
and ferroelectric properties in oxides are attracting increasing research interest. A …

Dislocations have been identified to modify both the functional and mechanical properties of
some ceramic materials. Succinct control of dislocation‐based plasticity in ceramics will also …
