Functional twin boundaries and tweed microstructures: a comparison between minerals and device materials

Abstract: In ferroelastic materials, the existence of degenerate strain states leads to the formation of nanoscale microstructures, such as domain boundaries (twin walls) and tweed. As the symmetry properties of microstructures differ from those of the bulk, they may dramatically change the macroscopic properties of a crystal. In addition, they are likely to have functional properties (ferroelecricity, piezoelectricity, magnetism, conductivity and rapid chemical transport) that are absent in the bulk. The existence of f… Show more
