Cation ordering is expected to influence the properties of oxides in the ZrO2−YTaO4 system, but the ordering patterns and their relative energies are not well understood. This work investigates the stability of zirconium-yttrium-tantalum orderings over the ...
Bolide impacts influence primordial evolution of planetary bodies because they can cause instantaneous melting and vaporization of both crust and impactors. Temperatures reached by impact-generated silicate melts are unknown because meteorite impacts are e ...
The tetragonal form of ZrO2 is used in a wide range of technologies. In this study, we systematically explore the effect of strain on the relative stability of symmetrically equivalent tetragonal variants of ZrO2 using first-principles density functional t ...
The hydrothermal synthesis of SrTiO3 in a Sr(OH)(2)/NaOH solution by reaction of four different single crystalline titanium precursors (anatase, rutile, sodium titanate, and hydrogen titanate) having the same nanowire morphology was investigated under stag ...
Friction stir processing (FSP) is a solid state route with a capacity of preparing fine grained nanocomposites from metal sheets. In this work, we employed this process to finely distribute TiO2 nanoparticles throughout an Al-Mg alloy, aiming to enhance me ...
Despite the technological importance of hard and soft PZT, Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, ceramics, the mechanisms of ferroelectric hardening and softening remain widely discussed in the literature. The hardening and softening phenomena have traditionally been investigated ...
Biocompatibility is one of the biggest challenges for biomaterials development. This issue arises in the case of coatings. Calcium phosphate (CP) coatings are currently used to cover femoral stem implants, while calcium titanate (CT) has also been proposed ...
Cubic phase stabilization is extremely important for the application of cesium lead halide inorganic perovskite materials into fabrication of perovskite solar cells. Methods on how to stabilize inorganic perovskite phase have been discussed in this review. ...
In order to modulate the solar gains of a building, electrochromic windows can be used. To improve their durability, inorganic solid state electrolytes are considered. This work reports on the investigation of tungsten trioxide (WO3) and lithium phosphorou ...
The hydrothermal synthesis of SrTiO3 in a Sr(OH)2/NaOH solution by reaction of four different single crystalline titanium precursors (anatase, rutile, sodium titanate, and hydrogen titanate) having the same nanowire morphology was investigated under stagna ...
