Rapid Identification of Synthetic Routes to Functional Metastable Phases Using X-ray Probed Laser Anneal Mapping (XPLAM) Time–Temperature Quench Maps

Many material systems have known or predicted functional phases that are metastable at standard temperature and pressure. While substantial advances have been made in the high-throughput and combinatorial synthesis of materials with a range of stoichiometries, investigation of thermal processing remains largely the domain of iterative uniform anneals or static gradients. Here we develop X-ray probed laser anneal mapping (XPLAM), a high...
