• Blacklight sintering of ceramics 

      Porz, Lukas; Rettenwander, Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      For millennia, ceramics have been densified via sintering in a furnace, a time-consuming and energy-intensive process. The need to minimize environmental impact calls for new physical concepts beyond large kilns relying ...
    • Deflecting Dendrites by Introducing Compressive Stress in Li7La3Zr2O12 Using Ion Implantation 

      Flatscher, Florian; Todt, Juraj; Burghammer, Manfred; Søreide, Hanne-Sofie Marie Scisly; Porz, Lukas; Li, Yanjun; Wenner, Sigurd; Bobal, Viktor; Ganschow, Steffen; Sartory, Bernhard; Brunner, Roland; Hatzoglou, Constantinos; Keckes, Jozef; Rettenwander, Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Lithium dendrites belong to the key challenges of solid-state battery research. They are unavoidable due to the imperfect nature of surfaces containing defects of a critical size that can be filled by lithium until fracturing ...
    • Effect of pulse-current-based protocols on the lithium dendrite formation and evolution in all-solid-state batteries 

      Reisecker, V.; Flatscher, Florian; Porz, Lukas; Fincher, C.; Todt, J.; Hanghofer, I.; Hennige, V.; Linares-Moreau, M.; Falcaro, P.; Ganschow, S.; Wenner, Sigurd; Chiang, Y.-M.; Keckes, J.; Fleig, J.; Rettenwander, Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Understanding the cause of lithium dendrites formation and propagation is essential for developing practical all-solid-state batteries. Li dendrites are associated with mechanical stress accumulation and can cause cell ...
    • Quantitative mapping of nanotwin variants in the bulk 

      Schultheiss, Jan; Porz, Lukas; Kodumudi Venkataraman, Lalitha; Höfling, Marion; Yildirim, Can; Cook, Phil; Detlefs, Carsten; Gorfman, Semën; Rödel, Jürgen; Simons, Hugh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Crystallographic twins are critical to the properties of numerous materials from magnesium alloys to piezoelectrics. Since the onset of the twin formation is highly sensitive to the triaxial mechanical boundary conditions, ...
