Functionally graded ceramics (FGC), which combine properties of different ceramics in one
part, usually have better comprehensive function and structural efficiency. In this study, four …

There is an ever-increasing need for material systems to operate in the most extreme
environments encountered in space exploration, energy production, and propulsion …

Determining the structure-property relations of liquid and amorphous metal oxides is
challenging, due to their variable short-range order and polyhedral connectivity. To predict …

C f/SiC–ZrC ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites prepared by precursor
impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) method were exposed to laser with energy density of kW …

In the frame of severe accident modeling, the knowledge of the so-called-corium
thermophysical properties is crucial to obtain reliable simulation. In this work, an …

Due to their high melting temperatures and the risk of contamination from the crucibles,
molten oxides which melting temperatures are above 2000° C can hardly be processed …

Densities of liquid oxide melts with melting temperatures above 2000° C are required to
establish mixing models in the liquid state for thermodynamic modeling and advanced …

The environmental conical nozzle levitator (E‐CNL) with dual‐wavelength lasers is an
extreme environment materials characterization system that was designed to investigate …

Liquid densities of three lanthanoid sesquioxides (Tm2O3, Yb2O3, and Lu2O3), whose
melting temperatures are above 2400° C, were measured using an electrostatic levitation …

This paper discusses the current state of non-destructive research on the density, surface
tension and viscosity of molten samples using the electrostatic levitation furnace (ELF) …
