“…It indicates that when E̅ s < 1 GPa, the specific numerical value of E̅ s become inessential in overall E̅ eff . Combining the HRTEM image, the softened elasticity of the surface layer can be attributed to disordered lattices and reduced density, factors that have been widely reported to soften elasticity in other material systems. , …”

Freestanding single-crystalline SrTiO 3 membranes, as high-κ dielectrics, hold significant promise as the gate dielectric in two-dimensional (2D) flexible electronics. Nevertheless, the mechanical properties of the SrTiO 3 membranes, such as elasticity, remain a critical piece of the puzzle to adequately address the viability of their applications in flexible devices. Here, we report statistical analysis on plane-strain effective Young's modulus of large-area SrTiO 3 membranes (5 × 5 mm 2 ) over a series of thicknesses (from 6.5 to 32.2 nm), taking advantage of a highly efficient buckling-based method, which reveals its evident thickness-dependent behavior ranging from 46.01 to 227.17 GPa. Based on microscopic and theoretical results, we elucidate these thickness-dependent behaviors and statistical data deviation with a bilayer model, which consists of a surface layer and a bulk-like layer. The analytical results show that the ∼3.1 nm surface layer has a significant elastic softening compared to the bulk-like layer, while the extracted modulus of the bulk-like layer shows a variation of ∼40 GPa. This variation is considered as a combined contribution from oxygen deficiency presenting in SrTiO 3 membranes, and the alignment between applied strain and the crystal orientation. Upon comparison of the extracted elastic properties and electrostatic control capability to those of other typical gate dielectrics, the superior performance of single-crystalline SrTiO 3 membranes has been revealed in the context of flexible gate dielectrics, indicating the significant potential of their application in high-performance flexible 2D electronics.

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) containing five or more cations have garnered significant attention recently due to their vastly tunable compositional space, along with their remarkable physical and mechanical properties, exceptional thermal stability, and phase reversibility at elevated temperatures. These characteristics position HEOs as promising candidates for structural components and coatings in high-temperature applications. While much of the ongoing research on HEOs centers around understanding processing-structure relationships, there remains a dearth of knowledge concerning their mechanical properties, crucial for their prospective high-temperature applications. Whether in bulk form or as coatings, the efficacy of HEOs hinges on robust mechanical properties across a spectrum of temperatures, to ensure structural integrity, fracture resistance, and resilience to thermal stress. This review offers a succinct synthesis of recent advancements in HEO research, spanning from processing techniques to mechanical behaviors under extreme conditions. Emphasis is placed on three key aspects: (1) Investigating the influence of processing parameters on HEO crystal structures. (2) Analyzing the interplay between crystal structure and mechanical properties, elucidating deformation mechanisms. (3) Examining the mechanical behavior of HEOs under extreme temperatures and pressures. Through this review, we aim to illuminate the effective control of HEOs’ unique structures and mechanical properties, paving the way for their future applications in extreme environments.
