Recent findings about the role of the grain boundary energy in complexion transitions are
reviewed. Grain boundary energy distributions are most commonly evaluated using …

Barium titanate materials displaying a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity are
ubiquitously employed as thermistors in electrical current and voltage control systems, as …

Grain boundary structure‐property relationships influence bulk performance and, therefore,
are an important criterion in materials design. Materials scientists can generate different …

Traditionally accepted design paradigms dictate that only optically isotropic (cubic) crystal
structures with high equilibrium solubilities of optically active ions are suitable for …

Constructing microstructure-property-processing relationships in polycrystalline metals
remains a challenge mainly due to the lack of quantitative relations between grain boundary …

Abstract Transparent Eu 3+-doped (0.05–0.15 at.%) alumina ceramics with fine-grained
microstructure were prepared and studied in terms of optical properties and …

Bulk phase transformation kinetics were not well understood before Davenport and Bain
developed time–temperature-transformation (TTT) diagrams for steel alloys in the 1930s …

In this study, the equilibrium crystal shape (ECS) of a model system, strontium titanate, is
compared with the grain boundary plane distribution (GBPD) as a function of temperature …

The thermodynamics of nanoparticles is strongly dependent on their surface energy as it
accounts for a large fraction of the total atomic volume. Grain boundary energies are equally …

The fracture of micro-cantilever Al 2 O 3 specimens containing single grain boundaries is
quantified via in situ bending experiments performed in the transmission electron …
