Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising clean and efficient power generation devices.
Unlike low temperature fuel cells, SOFCs could run on various alternative fuels such as …

The microstructure, thermal and mechanical stability of Ni-based single crystalline
superalloys depend strongly on the alloying elements and their concentrations. Alloying has …

Thermodynamics is a science concerning the state of a system, whether it is stable,
metastable or unstable, when interacting with the surroundings. In this overview …

Cross phenomena, representing responses of a system to external stimuli, are ubiquitous
from quantum to macro scales. The Onsager theorem is often used to describe them, stating …

Thermodynamics is a science concerning the state of a system, whether it is stable,
metastable, or unstable, when interacting with its surroundings. The combined law of …

Starting from first-principles projector-augmented wave method, finite temperature
thermodynamic properties of Ni and Ni3Al, including thermal expansion coefficient, bulk …

Thermal stress (σ) plays a critical role in regulating the stability and durability of thermal
barrier coatings (TBCs) during service. However, its measurements are limited due to …

Abstract A lightweight (5.06 g cm− 3) AlTiVCr compositionally complex alloy consisting of
four elements is presented. Interest in the system is due to its microstructural uniformity and …

Thermodynamics is the key component of materials science and engineering. The
manifestation of thermodynamics is typically represented by phase diagrams, traditionally for …

Computer simulations allow for the investigation of many materials properties and processes
that are not easily accessible in the laboratory. This is particularly true in the Earth sciences …
