Enhanced mechanical properties and atomic-scale mechanisms of ferroelastic domain switching for GdNbO4-La2Zr2O7 materials
Optimization of mechanical properties in La2Zr2O7 (LZO) ceramics, composites and coatings is an on-going requirement for their practical application. Herein, the contribution of monoclinic (La, Gd)NbO4 (m-LGNO) enhancement of fracture toughness by ∼56% reveals its capability to be a prominent toughening agent. Due to the ferroelastic nature of LGNO, ferroelastic switching takes place within the stress concentrated regions, giving rise to significant strain energy relaxation. Atomic-scale evidence reveals that ferroelastic 94°/86° domain switching can occur, yielding merged 94° domains and newly formed 86° domains. The relevant strains induced by ferroelastic domain switching are quantified up to 8.06% and 6.20% in shear and normal strain, respectively. Such domain switching strains highlight their contribution to accommodate external mechanical loading for the 50 mol% GNO-LZO composite. The results indicate that the unique ferroelastic nature and 94°/86° ferroelastic domain switching in m-LGNO cooperatively provide a significant toughening effect.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
