Author(s): Shihao Zhang, Hanqing Wei, and D. Legut Planar defects, widely observed in diamond and boron nitride, have been shown to markedly enhance hardness and toughness, yet the mechanical role of inversion domain boundaries (IDBs) in metastable wurtzite boron nitride (w-BN) remains largely unexplored. In this work, we present a comprehensive inv… [Phys. Rev. Materials 10, 083602] Published Fri Aug 07, 2026

Author(s): Shuolei Wang, Zhongyi Qiu, Kun Li, Zhixing Ge, Shuxiang Cai, and Wenguang Yang To address the issues of poor operational flexibility and ecological disturbance risks in traditional underwater robots, as well as the low manufacturing accuracy and low functional integration of current photo-responsive soft systems, in this study, we developed a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/multiw… [Phys.

Author(s): C. Herbert-Galarza, D. Sánchez, J. Mata, E. Murillo, J. Gervacio, and A. Durán The design of high-entropy perovskite relaxor ferroelectrics has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance the performance of high-energy storage materials. However, the dynamics of dipole moments in the relaxor ground state remain unclear. To address this issue, we studied and compared the dielect… [Phys. Rev. Materials 10, 084402] Published Thu Aug...

Chernatynskiy, Simon G. Mitchell, Liang Wu, Julia Y. Chan, Feng Ye, and Halyna Hodovanets In this work, we report the discovery of a new crystal structure on the Ge-rich side of the Pr-Ge binary phase diagram. Using a high-temperature flux technique, we grew single...

Author(s): Daria Smirnova, Sergei Starikov, and Erik Bitzek Dislocation climb is one of the key processes controlling the mechanical response and microstructure evolution of materials at high temperatures. The mechanisms of this phenomenon are still unclear due to its complex nature, which involves interactions between point defects and dislocations. Here we… [Phys. Rev.

Author(s): Emmanuel A. Olanrewaju, Santosh Adhikari, Zhiyin Niu, Michael Nikolaou, Jeremy C. Palmer, Jeffrey D. Rimer, and Mingjian Wen Zeolites are microporous crystalline materials with diverse frameworks, widely used in industrial applications such as petroleum refining and molecular separation. Unlike most zeolites, EMT can be synthesized under mild conditions (at low temperatures and without the use of organic structure-directi… [Phys...

Author(s): Khang Hoang Gallium arsenide (GaAs) doped with erbium (Er), a material of interest for optoelectronics and quantum information, has been studied for decades. Yet the formation of Er luminescence centers in the semiconductor host and their properties are still not well understood. Here we present a systematic in… [Phys. Rev.
