New strain states and radical property tuning of metal oxides using a nanocomposite thin film approach
Auxetic-like strain states were generated in self-assembled nanocomposite thin films of (Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3)1−x − (Sm2O3)x(BSTO − SmO). A switch from auxetic-like to elastic-like strain behavior was observed for x > 0.50, when the SmO switched from being nanopillars in the BSTO matrix to being the ma...
