Magnetite and maghemite multicore nanoflowers (NFs) synthesized using the modified
polyol-mediated routes are to date among the most effective nanoheaters in magnetic …

We address the calculation within density functional theory (DFT) of defect formation
energies in alumina, a ceramic oxide often considered an archetype for a wide variety of …

Undoped and aluminum-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been grown on
polycrystalline α-alumina substrates by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique using …

We discuss several low-energy backgrounds to sub-GeV dark-matter searches, which arise
from high-energy particles of cosmic or radioactive origin that interact with detector …

Which intrinsic biomaterial parameter governs and, if quantitatively monitored, could reveal
to us the actual lifetime potential of advanced hip joint bearing materials? An answer to this …

An electrical current upon flash sintering experiments modifies the defect chemistry of
corundum and causes the formation of color centers (F-centers), consisting of discharged …

“Glow-in-the-dark” materials are known to practically everyone who has ever traveled by
airplane or cruise ship, since they are commonly used for self-lit emergency exit signs. The …

Modern cathodoluminescence detectors coupled to Environmental Scanning Electron
Microscopes (ESEM) with X-ray microanalysis are increasingly sensitive and, nowadays …

This paper reviews three emission spectrometric methods that can be applicable to the
inclusion analysis in steel materials, which provides information on the number, the size and …

This paper qualitatively explains the differences in the cathodoluminescence (CL) colors of
alumina (Al 2 O 3) inclusions in steels and presents a method of distinguishing MgAl 2 O 4 …
