Abstract

Dislocations are being used to tune versatile mechanical and functional prop- erties in oxides with most current studies focusing on single crystals. For potentially wider applications, polycrystalline ceramics are of concern, pro- vided that dislocations can be successfully introduced. However, in addition to preexisting pores and flaws, a major barrier for bulk plastic deformation of polycrystalline ceramics lies in the grain boundaries (GBs), which can lead to dislocation pile-up and cracking at the GBs due to the lack of sufficient indepen- dent slip systems in ceramics at room temperature. Here, we use the cyclic Brinell indentation method to circumvent the bulk deformation and focus on nearsurface regions to investigate the plastic deformation of polycrystalline SrTiO3 at room temperature. Dislocation etch-pit analysis suggests that plastic deformation can be initiated within the grains, at the GBs, and from the GB triple junction pores. The deformability of the individual grains is found to be dependent on the number of cycles, as also independently evidenced on single-crystal SrTiO3 with representative surface orientations (001), (011), and (111). We also identify a grain-size-dependent plastic deformation.
