Abstract Cu (In, Ga) Se2 thin‐film solar cells have attracted significant research interest in
recent decades due to their high efficiency in converting solar energy into electricity for …

We report on the strengthening and strain hardening mechanisms in an aged high-Mn
lightweight steel (Fe-30.4 Mn-8Al-1.2 C, wt.%) studied by electron channeling contrast …

We use ultrasensitive electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to map the local crystal
orientations, grains, and grain boundaries in CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPI) perovskite thin films …

Nanocrystalline (NC) metals suffer from an intrinsic thermal instability; their crystalline grains
undergo rapid coarsening during processing treatments or under service conditions. Grain …

Metallic materials, especially steel, underpin transportation technologies. High-manganese
twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) austenitic steels exhibit exceptional strength and ductility …

Dislocations have been considered to be an efficient source for scattering midfrequency
phonons, contributing to the enhancement of thermoelectric performance. The structure of …

One of the key materials for all-solid-state batteries based on oxide electrolytes is the
polycrystalline Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO). It has been reported that metallic Li can …

Grain boundaries (GBs) are crucial for solar cells incorporating polycrystalline absorbers
and particularly for those characterized by small grain sizes (≈ 2 µm). For example, random …
