Oxygen vacancy-induced strengthening and toughening in (K,Na)NbO3-based piezoceramics revealed via nanoindentation

Abstract Dislocations are emerging as a pivotal factor for tailoring ceramics’ functional and mechanical properties. The introduction of point defects, notably oxygen vacancies, is unavoidable during the conventional sintering process in polycrystalline ceramics. Understanding the interplay between...
