  1. Note: Composition identification in different bulk samples is done based on SEM-EDS point analysis. The brackets give the fabrication condition of the bulk samples, wherein “HP” denotes the hot-pressing sintering method. For instance, “1860 °C HP” means that the bulk sample was fabricated via hot-pressing sintering method at 1860 °C.
