The quest for room-temperature ductile ceramics has been repeatedly fueled by hopes for
large-scale applications but so far has been not successful. Recent demonstrations of …

In this study, we explored the effect of an active afterheater on the growth of gallium oxide
single crystals using the EFG method. We analyzed the temperature distribution of the …

Dislocations in ductile ceramics offer the potential for robust mechanical performance while
unlocking versatile functional properties. Previous studies have been limited by small …

Calculations of an order of magnitude greater strain hardening coefficient over compression
or tensile test measurements are demonstrated for continuous indentation hardness …

We report atomic-scale simulations of the structure and formation energies of jog pairs on
1/2< 110>{1¯ 10} edge dislocations in magnesium oxide (MgO). The atomic configurations …

Abstract Alumina (α‐Al2O3) is one of the major ceramic oxides commonly used for its
advanced mechanical properties. Since recently, nanoscale α‐Al2O3 requires more in …

Identification of the mechanical performance of pharmaceuticals in the drug discovery
process can determine the tabletability of a target molecule. Determination of the active slip …

It is rare to find technical applications involving a material of any crystal structure that is not
impacted by dislocations—which affect the material's mechanical properties, interfaces …

The effect of irradiation with GeV heavy ions (U, Au, Bi) on the structure and mechanical
properties of MgO single crystals was studied. The methods of nanoindentation, dislocation …

Diluted magnetic states of the ternary compounds (Mg 1-x A x) O are calculated by the
method of Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) Green's function, where A and x denote the Cr …
