Author(s): Avanish Mishra, John S. Carpenter, and Saryu J. Fensin The microstructural characteristics and morphology of interfaces in metals can be crucial in governing the initiation of plasticity and early deformation mechanisms under extreme conditions. During high-strain-rate deformation, these interfaces significantly affect dislocation nucleation, twinning, … [Phys. Rev. Materials 10, 063602] Published Mon Jun 08, 2026

Ivanov, Sheng Dai, Ruchi Gakhar, Kathy Dardenne, Jörg Rothe, Sebastian Couweleers, Anna L. Smith, Simerjeet K. Gill, and Anatoly I. Frenkel Theoretical modeling of bonding dynamics in metal oxides is required for predicting their thermal conductivity, catalytic activity, and mechanical properties. A primary challenge...

Senn, and Richard Beanland Stacking faults and other topological defects in ferroics can have a significant influence on the electronic and mechanical properties of the material. Here, regular stacking faults in the tetragonal tungsten bronze material ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{NaNb}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{15}$ are investigated th… [Phys. Rev. Materials...

Author(s): Lan-Tien Hsu, Takeshi Nishimatsu, and Anna Grünebohm Epitaxial strain is a powerful route for engineering ferroelectric phases, yet the role of film orientation remains largely underexplored. Using first-principles-based molecular dynamics, we show that biaxial (110) strain can stabilize a rich variety of nanoscale states, including unusual domains, heterophases, superdomains, and antiferroelectric-like ordering, in the chemically simple...

Author(s): Liguang Wang, Ran Wang, Xinlin Jiang, Changming Zhu, Si Lu, Xiaoxuan Zheng, Xiaofei Su, Na Shen, and Maoying Qin Sodium niobate ($\mathrm{NaNb}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$, NN), as a rare room-temperature antiferroelectric material, exhibits significant applications in important fields such as pulse energy storage and multistate nonvolatile memories. However, pristine NN generally suffers from an irreversible field-induc… [Phys. Rev. Materials...

Author(s): Matthieu Bourguignon, Gustavo Alberto Rosales-Sosa, Yoshinari Kato, Bruno Bresson, Hikaru Ikeda, Shingo Nakane, Gergely Molnár, Hiroki Yamazaki, and Etienne Barthel Linking crack initiation in silicate glasses to shear banding identifies shear localization as a key driver of fracture in this archetypal brittle material. The results unify network glasses with other families of amorphous solids, such as bulk metallic glasses and glassy...

Author(s): Zijin Lei, Yuze Wu, Christian Reichl, Stefan Fält, and Werner Wegscheider High-quality InAs quantum wells grown on InP are a promising platform for topological quantum information processing due to their large $g\text{−}\mathrm{factor}$, strong Rashba spin-orbit interaction, and their compatibility with in situ deposited superconductors. In this work, we investigate InAs/… [Phys. Rev. Materials 10, 066201] Published Mon Jun 08, 2026
