The present study addresses the fabrication of porous gyroid architectures by additive manufacturing from preceramic polymer feedstocks. Photocurable emulsions were engineered by combining a silicone powder with acrylate monomers and dispersing an em...

Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) has emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation electronics and optoelectronics; however, its scalable synthesis with precise control over domain size and film continuity remains challenging. Herei...

Using the molecular dynamics method, the compression of nickel nanoparticles with a nanocrystalline structure was simulated. The influence of the nanoparticle size (from 2 to 20 nm) and the average grain size within it (from 2 to 8 nm) on the compres...

KTaO₃ (KTO) is a quantum paraelectric perovskite oxide which belongs to the cubic space group Pm$\overline{3}$m in a large temperature range. Polar optical modes with a T_1u symmetry of KTO are infrared-active and Raman-inactive according to the centrosymmet...

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) technology has been established for over five decades as a versatile route for the fabrication of advanced bioceramic materials. However, conventional processing routes for bioceramics, such as melt-quenching and sol&n...

The determination of the linear optical constants of solids is an important part of solid state optical characterization. Reflection spectroscopy and ellipsometry of surfaces or thin solid films represent established techniques to access those optica...

The persistent accumulation of antibiotic pollutants in aquatic environments poses potential threats to ecological safety and human health, highlighting the importance of developing low-cost, high-performance adsorbents for their efficient removal. I...

This work presents a comprehensive investigation of the thermal decomposition of nickel oxalate dihydrate as a precursor for the synthesis of porous NiO, with particular emphasis on microstructural formation and evolution. The transformations occurri...

An experimental investigation of the Cu-As-Sb ternary system in the Cu-rich region led to the identification of a new intermetallic phase, Cu₅(As,Sb)₂. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic Mg₅Ga₂-type structure (oI28, Ibam), analogous to the...

Piezoelectric semiconductor combines the unique properties of semiconducting characteristics and piezoelectric effect together, providing a universal methodology to modulate piezoelectric semiconductor device’s performance by simply introducing...
