X-ray diffraction analysis is essential in studying stacking faults. Most of the techniques used for this purpose are based on theoretical studies. These studies suggest that the observed diffraction patterns are caused by random stacking faults in c...

The impregnation of poorly water-soluble drug onto the surface of a suitable pharmaceutical excipient, used as a hydrophilic carrier, can lead to the preparation of systems with improved dissolution properties due to the separation of drug crystal pa...

The critical magnetic field is one of the most interesting properties of superconductors. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the surface and upper critical magnetic fields of superconductors in Fe-based and cuprate superconductors as KFeSe and LaS...

The effect of epitaxial strain on the electrical properties of ferroelectric films has been widely investigated. However, this kind of strain is generally attributed to the substrate clamping constraints and is easily relaxed when the thickness of fi...

Conventional deep-ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on AlGaN crystals have extremely low light-emission efficiencies due to the absorption in p-type GaN anode contacts. UV-light-transparent anode structures are considered as one of...

Gas-atomized Cu-10Sn powders as a potential substitute for sintered bronze layers are usually employed in plain-bearing shells produced by cold spray (CS) processes on steel substrates (AISI 1010). In this study, the effective thickness, i.e., approx...

The current work seeks to discover and choose the proper friction stir processing (FSP) settings for aluminum alloy 7075 surface composites enhanced by adding three unique nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2), B4C, and graphene for superior perfo...

X-ray diffraction theory allows the interpretation of experiments to build a structural model that fits the collected data. As with any experimental science, the observations are subject to uncertainty through the instrument and user limitations. Sim...

Intramolecular electronic communication between electrochemically active groups connected by a bridging moiety can be modified through small changes in the spatial disposition of the redox active moieties and/or by the nature of the central core. In...

Continual development of nickel-based superalloys for single-crystal turbine applications has pushed their operating temperatures higher and higher, most notably through the addition of rhenium. However, this has left them susceptible to the precipit...
