Einstein temperature (TE) was determined by fitting of experimental heat capacity data by
the Einstein function only which ensures that it will represent the harmonic vibrational Gibbs …

The eutectic microstructure formed during the solidification of a binary titanium–iron alloy (Ti–
29.5 at.% Fe) has been simulated using the phase-field method. The model uses the …

To reduce the stress shielding effect (adaptive remodeling in bone tissue), metallic implants
should exhibit an elastic modulus similar to that of human bones. This effect causes …

In recent years, materials science has increasingly focussed on biological structural
materials as sources of inspiration and templates for the development of novel materials with …

This thesis presents the results of a computational study of bulk SmCoO3-based perovskites
for use as Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (IT-SOFC) cathode. Using both …

An excellent infrared window material should have both high transmittance and good
mechanical strength to adapt to applications in harsh environments. In this report, we use …

Nanowires, represent the smallest device dimensionality for efficient transport of electrons
and other more exotic quasiparticles. Among a plethora of applications identified, research …

Solidification, as the key step in physical metallurgy, plays a decisive role in tuning the
various properties of materials. From a thermodynamic perspective, the solidification …

A scale-bridging technique was used to investigate the effect of the elastic properties of β-Ti
alloys on the stress distribution around the femoral stem of an artificial hip joint with a …

The intrinsically high local cooling and solidification rates of laser melting can lead to unique
changes in chemical ordering including at microstructural defects. Within this space, we …
