Because different solid materials (phases) have different surface energies, equilibria among
them will be significantly affected by particle size. This Minireview summarizes experimental …

With the hype of “high entropy” alloys and more recently,“high entropy” ceramics and “high
entropy” oxides (HEOs), there has been a great push to investigate and characterize …

Nanomaterials have intrigued the scientific community for many years due to their unique
and unexpected properties. Though the number of technological applications has …

To provide a complete picture of the energy landscape of Al2O3 at the nanoscale, we
directed this study toward understanding the energetics of amorphous alumina (a-Al2O3). a …

Sintering and nanostability (defined as the stability against sintering) are critical phenomena
present in the processing and application of nanoparticles. With important implications in …

Materials for applications in hostile environments, such as nuclear reactors or radioactive
waste immobilization, require extremely high resistance to radiation damage, such as …

Nanocrystalline pyrochlore materials have been investigated for their enhanced radiation
tolerance as ceramic nuclear waste hosts. In this work, we study the thermodynamic driving …

Traditionally, the nuclear and aerospace industries have been the main drivers behind the
development of high‐temperature materials. These applications demand a high degree of …

The effect of dopants (or additives) on sintering is typically addressed from a mechanistic
and diffusivity perspective by focusing on how dopants affect those parameters. However, a …

This work presents a thorough analysis of the grain growth behavior of gadolinium doped
yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The effect of the dopant on the thermodynamics as well as on …
