Microscale mechanical property variations of Al-substituted LLZO: insights from compression testing and molecular dynamics simulations
Ceramic solid electrolytes based on LLZO (Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 ) are promising candidates for all-solid-state batteries due to their high ionic conductivity and good apparent stability vs. lithium metal, however they are prone to mechanical failure. Lithium metal intrusions, alongside cell stack pressure, transition polycrystalline solid electrolyte grains into a compressed state that promotes crack propagation and fracture. Here this work examines the mechanical response of Al-substituted LLZO to compressive forces by measuring ultimate strength under pillar compression with a flat punch tip. Failure modes characterized by in situ scanning electron microscopy show diverse splitting patterns arising from internal porosity, grain boundaries, and slip planes. Large correlated variations in compressive strength (0.93–2.63 GPa) and Young's modulus (72.1–150.97 GPa) are observed across microscale regions of the solid electrolyte. Molecular dynamics simulations of LLZO with different porosities describe the variation of compressive strength and Young's modulus, and enable a microscale porosity model to be fit accounting for Young's modulus reduction across the solid electrolyte. Overall, the results indicate the importance of microscale mechanical testing of ceramic solid electrolytes to identify preferential sites for mechanical degradation and Li intrusion, and ensure the robust design of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries.

Halo Properties and Mass Functions of Groups/Clusters from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys DR9
Abstract Based on a large group/cluster catalog recently constructed from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys DR9 using an extended halo-based group finder, we measure and model the group–galaxy weak-lensing signals for groups/clusters in a few redshift bins within redshift range 0.1 ≤ z < 0.6. Here, the background shear signals are obtained based on the DECaLS survey shape catalog, derived with the F ourier _Q uad method. We divide the lens samples into five equispaced redshift bins and seven mass bins, which allow us to probe the redshift and mass dependence of the lensing signals, and hence the resulting halo properties. In addition to these sample selections, we also check the signals around different group centers, e.g., the brightest central galaxy, the luminosity-weighted center, and the number-weighted center. We use a lensing model that includes off-centering to describe the lensing signals that we measure for all mass and redshift bins. The results demonstrate that our model predictions for the halo masses, biases, and concentrations are stable and self-consistent among different samples for different group centers. Taking advantage of the very large and complete sample of groups/clusters, as well as the reliable estimations of their halo masses, we provide measurements of the cumulative halo mass functions up to redshift z = 0.6, with a mass precision at 0.03 ∼ 0.09 dex.

Shear Measurement with Poorly Resolved Images
Weak lensing studies typically require excellent seeing conditions for the purpose of maximizing the number density of well-resolved galaxy images. It is interesting to ask to what extent the seeing size limits the usefulness of the astronomical images in weak lensing. In this work, we study this issue with the data of the DECam Legacy Survey, which is a part of the target selection program for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. Using the Fourier_Quad shear measurement pipeline, we demonstrate that images with relatively poor seeing conditions (~1$^"_.$5) can still yield accurate shear estimators. We do not find any correlation between systematic shear error and the image resolution.
