Defects may display high reactivity because the specific arrangement of atoms differs from
crystalline surfaces. We demonstrate that high-temperature steam pretreatment of palladium …

Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) allows for imaging, diffraction, and
spectroscopy of materials on length scales ranging from microns to atoms. By using a high …

The characterisation of cement paste microstructure is an important step towards
understanding durability mechanisms in cementitious materials. Scanning electron …

Following optical excitations' life span from creation to decay into photons is crucial in
understanding materials photophysics. Macroscopically, this is studied using optical …

This study evaluates the role of microstructure for the conductivity of BaZrO 3-based protonic
conductors. Bulk conductivity was found to be the limiting conductivity contribution in BaZr …

A detailed analysis of grain boundaries in a highly textured Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy is presented in
this work. Electron backscatter diffraction demonstrates the presence of three main …

Abstract Machine Learning (ML) strategies applied to Scanning and conventional
Transmission Electron Microscopy have become a valuable tool for analyzing the large …

Structural, electronic, and chemical nanoscale modifications of transition metal
dichalcogenide monolayers alter their optical properties. A key missing element for complete …

One of the major challenges in welding of aluminium (Al) alloys and steels is the growth of
brittle intermetallic phases, which depends on the thermomechanical processing history and …

A high-pressure FAST/Spark Plasma Sintering method was used to produce dense SrTiO 3
ceramics at temperatures of 1050° C, more than 250° C below typical sintering …
