To assess progress in high‐temperature calorimetry over the past eighteen years, this
feature article discusses both technical developments and new areas of application, with …

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

The chemistry of ternary nitrides is reviewed with special focus on developments of the last
two years (1996 and 1997). In particular, structures and properties of ternary and higher …

Carbon can be used to create unusual nanostructures of Si–C–O by controlled pyrolysis of
silsesquioxane organics. Unlike silica, these ceramics resist crystallization at ultrahigh …

High-temperature solution calorimetry in molten sodium molybdate 3Na2O· 4MoO3 was
used to determine the energetics of formation of a series of binary iron nitrides: γ′-Fe4N, ε …

From the standard enthalpy of formation of tantalum oxynitride TaON, determined by
oxidative drop solution calorimetry, it is possible to explain its particular synthesis conditions …

Nitride materials have promising properties for optoelectronics, but synthesis is challenging
because of their metastable character. Therefore, even some simple binary nitrides have not …

A family of lanthanide silicates adopts an oxyapatitelike structure with structural formula Ln9.
33 0.67 (SiO4) 6O2 (Ln= La, Sm, Nd, Gd,= vacancy). The enthalpies of solution, ΔHS, for …

Silicon oxycarbides synthesized through a conventional polymeric route show characteristic
nanodomains that consist of sp2 hybridized carbon, tetrahedrally coordinated SiO4, and …

The reason for the higher thermal persistence of amorphous polymer-derived SiBCN
ceramics (T∼ 1700–2000° C) compared to SiCN ones (T∼ 1500° C) has been a matter of …
