The extremely elevated strength of nanoceramics under compression arises from the
necessity to nucleate highly energetic dislocations from the surface, in samples that are too …

High-pressure torsion (HPT) processed FeCr alloy with ultrafine-grained (UFG)
microstructure was used to study the oxidation resistance and mechanical properties of the …

Strontium titanate (SrTiO 3) is a versatile material with various applications but
understanding its mechanical properties, especially in polycrystalline form prepared via field …

Perfect surfaces can upgrade the quality of the films grown on them and ensure that their
physical properties do not deteriorate. Here, an atomically flattened surface is …

Among metamagnetic materials, FeRh alloys are technologically appealing due to their
uncommon antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic metamagnetic transition which occurs at a …

While ceramic materials are widely used in our society, their understanding of the plasticity
