A method is presented for the simultaneous measurement of relative grain boundary energy and all five macroscopic grain boundary degrees of freedom in leaded copper. When compared to the Wynblatt–Takashima model, results suggest a lowered boundary energy w ...
HPL SA report the modification of the electrochemical performance of lithium manganese phosphate (LiMnPO4) via Mn-site bivalent substitution. Manganese (10%) is substituted with iron, nickel, magnesium, or zinc. These substituents are shown via an X-ray to ...
Atomistic simulations have provided much insight into grain boundary (GB) structures and mechanisms which are important in understanding the properties of materials. In this paper, the Sigma 3{1 1 2}, Sigma 3{1 1 1} and Sigma 5{0 1 3} (coincidence site lat ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of collision cascades in pure tungsten are performed to assess the primary damage due to irradiation. For short-range interaction the universal potential is used [J.F. Ziegler, J.P. Biersack, U. Littmark, The Stopping and Ran ...
In this technical note we compare silica gel grains and quartz sand as sediment media for vegetation root growth in laboratory experiments for ecohydrology and ecohydraulics. Silica gel grains become quite transparent when saturated with water. This would ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of collision cascades in pure tungsten are performed to assess the primary damage due to irradiation. For short-range interaction the universal potential is used [1], while for long-range interaction, three different embedded ...
The exact mechanism of creep resistance enhancement due to yttrium (Y) doping in a-alumina is still subject to speculation, although it is known that dopants segregate strongly to grain boundaries. The current work applies atomistic simulation techniques t ...
Procedures for synthesizing digital polycrystalline microstructures are illustrated, from either 2D statistical data or 3D deterministic data. Finite element meshes representing the digital microstructures are generated using anisotropic and adaptive mesh ...
Pure and barium titanate (BT) powders doped with different lanthanum concentration were prepared by the polymeric precursor method (Pechini process) which was carried out as a three-stage process from organometallic complexes. Sintering of pressed powders ...
Fe-18CrWTi ODS steels are developed by CEA for the SFR generation IV program. The powders of a Fe-18CrWTi alloy reinforced by Y2O3 by mechanical milling have been annealed at 850 °C, 1100 °C and 1300 °C and their microstructure has been studied by SEM and ...
