A review of the structural, elastic, and thermodynamic properties of cubic and hexagonal Sc
x Al 1− x N crystals over the range of possible random alloys is provided. Based on …

This study provides new insights into Ru-effects on the oxidation resistance of some fourth-
generation single-crystal Ni-based superalloys at 1150° C. No apparent evaporation of Ru …

Most hard coatings are based on ceramic materials and are generally brittle. It is desirable to
have coatings that are both hard and tough. Here, we review several strategies that can be …

The material science and characterization is a field concerned with inventing new materials
and improving previously known materials by developing a deeper understanding of …

Throughout our engineered environment, many materials exhibit a crystalline lattice
structure. The orientation of such lattices is crucial in determining functional properties of …

The structural, elastic, and basic thermodynamic properties of hexagonal Sc x Al 1− x N
crystals are calculated and discussed over the whole range of possible random alloys …

The elastic and ultrasonic properties of the hexagonal intermetallic CeCuGe ternary
compound have been evaluated along unique axis at room temperature. Higher order …

The ultrasonic properties like ultrasonic attenuation, sound velocity in the hexagonal closed
