Micro-solid oxide fuel cell (mu SOFC) structures with annular Pt electrodes have been fabricated by means of silicon micromachining. The annular cathodes contained a defined triple phase boundary (TPB) length, which allowed the derivation of the ionic curr ...
We present a method which allows quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) at multi-GPa pressures, i.e., pressure conditions which are an order of magnitude higher than possible with QENS till now. The technique uses an opposed-anvil geometry with a sample c ...
We have performed density-functional theory (DFT) calculations of phase stability, formation energies of radiation defects in tungsten-based binaries W-Ta and W-V. These alloys are candidate for DEMO divertor applications because of their high melting poin ...
Small dislocation loops formed from self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) are commonly found in irradiated metals. These defects significantly influence the mechanical properties of the materials. Atomistic simulations are used to describe nanometric circular dislo ...
Understanding diffusion in alumina is a long-standing challenge in ceramic science. The present article applies a novel combination of metadynamics and kinetic Monte Carlo simulation approaches to the investigation of oxygen vacancy diffusion in alumina. T ...
High temperature mechanical properties of zirconia reinforced with carbon-nanotubes (CNTs) are studied by mechanical spectroscopy. CNTs limit zirconia grain-boundary sliding (GBS) and consequently deformation. Concurrent grain-growth and plastic deformatio ...
Recrystallization characteristics of severe cold rolled Cu-0.23 vol%Al2O3 alloy were investigated through the examination of properties and microstructure. A special change of mechanical and physical properties was observed during the annealing process, wh ...
The properties of ferroelectric materials, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), are heavily influenced by the interaction of defects with domain walls. These defects are either intrinsic or are induced by the addition of dopants. We study here PbTiO3 (th ...
At present, nanofilaments are not exclusively based on carbon atoms but can be produced from many inorganic materials in the form of nanotubes and nanowires. It is essential to systematically assess the acute toxicity of these newly synthesized materials s ...
Helium atoms are known to have a significant impact on materials used in fission and fusion reactors. In particular, the presence of helium atoms can change the mechanical properties and degrade the lifetime of reactors. In order to develop the helium-resi ...
