Beryllium-tungsten (Be-W) intermetallic compounds are promising candidates for fusion-reactor plasma-facing components and aerospace high-temperature structural materials owing to their low density, high elastic modulus, high melting point and excell...
The electronic-structure traits of titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), and nickel (Ni) doped-zinc sulfide (ZnS) through H2O molecule adsorption were investigated using first-principles studies. A detailed study was performed using density f...
Nowadays, carbonized natural fiber composites are sustainable alternatives for electromagnetic wave absorption in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). However, achieving a balance between electromagnetic performance, structural thickness, and weight is s...
The Dion–Jacobson perovskite solid acid, HLaNb2O7, is an important intermediate in many topochemical reactions such as those involving ion exchange, intercalation, exfoliation, and grafting. Rietveld structure refinement of time-of-flight neutr...
β-Type titanium alloys mitigate stress shielding through their low elastic modulus, but their limited wear resistance restricts their use in articulating surfaces. This study evaluated the effect of a 100 nm Au interlayer on the structural, elec...
Ceramic-matrix-composite (CMC) turbine seal segments lose their gas-side coatings in service. Assessing one loss configuration takes a thermal and a mechanical finite-element solve, and there are too many admissible configurations to solve them all....
In YPO4:Bi irradiated with photons in the energy range of 5.5–6.2 eV and with X-rays, sensitization-related luminescent states are formed in the 4.43–3.35 eV energy range, appearing as a broad emission band. The excitation spectrum of thi...
Commercially produced as-cast AM50 magnesium alloy was investigated to assess the relationship between cast microstructural heterogeneity, local hardness contrast, tensile variability, and fracture behavior. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron...
The paper presents thermodynamic data for the aluminothermic reaction used to synthesise hybrid composites (Al3Zr, ZrB2)/AA6063. AA6063 alloy was used with K2ZrF6, KBF4 and Na3AlF6 as precursors. Composites containing 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% wt.% ZrB2 we...
To meet the demands for high-density integration and broadband RF performance in next-generation electronic equipment, this paper investigates the structural design and process sensitivity of vertical interconnects in three-dimensional stacked system...
This study investigates the formation and evolution of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in nitrogen-doped CVD diamonds. The diamonds were grown via the microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (MPACVD) method with different levels of nitrogen...
The use of Mg-based alloys as anode materials in nickel–metal hydride (Ni–MH) batteries is significantly limited by rapid capacity loss during charge–discharge cycles. This study conducts a comprehensive examination of how variation...
