Possibility of production of all-dislocation-ceramics by cold sintering

Abstract Numerical simulations of evolution of mobile and immobile dislocation densities are performed during cold sintering process (liquid-phase sintering) under applied pressure. It is suggested that all-dislocation-ceramics, which are solid electrolytes filled with appropriate dislocations for high ionic conductivity and high fracture toughness, could be produced by cold sintering for relatively ductile ceramics.
