Summary: Nano- and micro-indentation fatigue tests provide a non- or semi-destructive method to study the cyclic response of small-sized specimens and thin films, where conventional fatigue experiments face challenges due to dimensional limitations. These tests offer a reliable and non-destructive testing approach to assess fatigue response, especially when a limited volume of material is available. The loading mode in indentation fatigue is different from traditional bulk-scale fatigue, which may lead to different controlling mechanisms of failure between small-scale and bulk-scale fatigue.

Summary: This study compares the dielectric properties of BaSnO3 ceramics and thin films in terms of structure, morphology, frequency (20 Hz-1 MHz), and temperature (30℃-300℃). BaSnO3 solution was prepared using the sol-gel method, and thin films were deposited by spin-coating on substrates. Both ceramics and films showed a pure BaSnO3 phase with a cubic structure according to the X-ray diffraction spectra. The sintering temperature was adjusted to improve the crystalline quality of the ceramics. SEM photos confirmed the high quality of the film surface, with an average roughness of 1.8 nm measured by AFM. The dielectric constant (epsilon') at room temperature was found to be around 17 for ceramics and 13 for thin films at 1 MHz. The dielectric properties of BaSnO3 ceramics could be successfully replicated on thin films using a cost-effective deposition method.

Summary: Block copolymers (BCPs) are a special type of polymeric system with chemically distinct homopolymer blocks tethered together, used in bulk and thin film forms for nanotechnology applications. Progress in tailoring mesoscopic and nanoscopic structures of BCP thin films using external fields relies on precise control of structural orientation, local alignment, and long-range ordering, with conventional polymer field theory and numerical solution schemes playing a key role. Experimental and theoretical insights into the next generation of strategies for obtaining desired BCP thin film patterns and their industrial applications are also provided.

Summary: In condensed matter physics, oxide materials exhibit diverse and intriguing physical properties, making the development of functional oxides an important field of study. This research focuses on stabilizing PbSnO3 thin films with different orientations using a heteroepitaxial approach supported by theoretical calculations. Through X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, the structural information of the thin films is revealed. The electrical characterizations confirm the anticipated antiferroelectric behavior, including double hysteresis and butterfly loops. The study also investigates the phase transition and determines the transition temperatures based on temperature-dependent structural and electrical characterizations. Furthermore, scanning transmission electron microscopy provides atomic resolution images, revealing the microscopic antiferroelectric order. This work represents a significant breakthrough in synthesizing epitaxial PbSnO3 thin films and comprehensively understanding their anisotropic antiferroelectric behavior.

Summary: The flexoelectric effect is more evident in thin films due to the easier achievement of large strain gradients. This study investigates the flexoelectricity in wrinkled thin films and finds that enhanced flexoelectricity improves the energy and stretchability of the films. The wrinkle-induced flexoelectric polar pattern can be manipulated by compressive strain, providing a voltage-free strategy for mechanically modifying the polarity of dielectric materials. These findings pave the way for wrinkle-based microelectromechanical devices and applications.

Summary: PBCF-x (0.1 < x < 0.4) polymorphs (PrBa(Co1-xFex)2O5+d) with dual phases of cubic Pr0.5Ba0.5Co1-xFexO3_d and tetragonal PrBa(Co1-xFex)2O5+d are produced through sol-gel method. The co-generation of dual phases results in abundant hetero-interfaces, demonstrating high oxygen adsorption and dissociation ability. The existence of hetero-interfaces promotes oxygen reduction reaction activity (ORR), essential for improving cathode performance of proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (H-SOFCs). A self-assembled dual-phase cathode proves to be an effective approach for developing high-performing H-SOFCs.

Summary: High thermal stability and sluggish absorption/desorption kinetics are limitations for using MgH2 as a hydrogen storage medium. Introducing a suitable catalyst, such as the novel nanoparticulate ZrNi, can significantly improve the hydrogen storage properties. The catalytic reaction of nano-ZrNi during the first de-/hydrogenation cycle forms active species that enhance the breaking and rebonding of H-H bonds and provide multiple hydrogen diffusion channels, leading to remarkably improved hydrogen absorption and desorption capabilities.

Summary: High operating temperatures and sluggish kinetics are obstacles for the practical application of MgH2 as a solid hydrogen carrier. This study investigates the catalytic activity of nanostructured niobium oxide (Nb2O5) and explores the relationship between nanoparticle size, morphology, and catalytic activity. The results demonstrate that the primary particle size is the decisive factor in the catalytic activity of Nb2O5, enabling dehydrogenation at low temperatures and higher reactivity due to the formation of more uniform and finer Nb-based active species when ball-milled with MgH2.
