Cellular metallic materials have emerged as a new promising class of materials due to their lightweight porous structures and advanced multi-functional properties. Originally limited to random metallic foams, modern lithography techniques have enabled the ...
Over the past decades, there has been a dramatic change in the types and amounts of metal ions in the biosphere, since we have introduced huge amount of metal waste into our environment in the course of industrialization of our society. Most of the metal c ...
The structural and electrochemical properties of a quaternary layered compound with elemental composition Mn2Sb3O6Cl have been investigated upon reaction with lithium in Li half cells. Operando XRD was used to investigate the potential impact of this parti ...
Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...
Tuning the chemical composition and structure for targeted functionality in two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets has become a major objective in the rapidly growing area of 2D materials. In the context of photocatalysis, both miniaturization and extending the l ...
The amorphous structure of the phase change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) has been the object of controversial structural models. By employing first-principles molecular dynamics within density functional theory, we are able to obtain quantitative agreement wit ...
The aim of the work is to study interface formation between Al2O3 particles and Al(Ca) matrix in dependence of Ca content. Aluminium matrix composites (AMC) subjected to investigation were prepared by gas pressure assisted infiltration of alumina beds with ...
The pressure dependence of electrical resistance of single-crystal magnetite (Fe3O4) was measured under quasi-hydrostatic conditions to 100 GPa using low-temperature, megabar diamond-anvil cell techniques in order to gain insight into the anomalous behavio ...
