Ultrahigh piezoelectric performances of (K,Na)NbO3 based ceramics enabled by structural flexibility and grain orientation by Li-Feng Zhu, Dong Liu, Xiaoming Shi, Shiqing Deng, Jiecheng Liu, Li-Yu Wei, Zi-Qi Yang, Qi Wang, Bo-Ping Zhang, Houbing Huang, Shujun Zhang, Jing-Feng Li

“…Here, we achieve an ultrahigh piezoelectric charge coefficient d33 ∼ 807 pC·N−1, along with a high longitudinal electromechanical coupling factor (k33 ∼ 88%) and Curie temperature (Tc ∼ 245 °C) in the (K,Na)(Nb1-x Sb x )O3-Bi0.5Na0.5ZrO3-BiFeO3 (KNN-xSb) system through structural flexibility and grain orientation strategies. Phenomenological models, phase field simulations and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy reveal that the structural flexibility originates from the high Coulomb force between K+/Na+ ions and Sb ions in the KNN-xSb system, while the grain orientation promotes the displacement of B-site cations leveraging the engineered domain configuration. …”

High-Temperature Creep Behavior of a Nickel-Based Single-Crystal Superalloy with Small-Angle Deviation from [111] Orientation by Guangyan Wang, Song Zhang, Guoqi Zhao, Ning Tian, Huajin Yan, Sugui Tian, Fangwei Jin

“…By means of tensile creep tests and microstructure analysis, the creep behavior and deformation mechanism of a nickel-based single-crystal alloy with small-angle deviations from the [111] orientation at 1040°C/137 MPa were investigated. The results suggested that in the early stage of creep, proliferating dislocations generated by different slip systems get accumulated in the γ phase. …”
