Background The proliferation of stable isotope laboratories in recent years has led to a
marked increase in the routine use of stable isotope analyses in geochemical studies. This …

In the standard rebound theory of earthquakes, elastic deformation energy is progressively
stored in the crust until a threshold is reached at which it is suddenly released in an …

Atomistic simulation techniques were employed to model the {0001},{101̄0},{101̄1}, and
{101̄1̄} surfaces of α-quartz. The effect of associative and dissociative adsorption of water …

The geometries, formation energies, and diffusion barriers of carbon point defects in silica (α-
quartz) have been calculated using a charge-self-consistent density-functional based …

Boron containing MoSi 2 is a promising material for applications at high temperature, but the
oxidation mechanism is still unclear. In this work, the high temperature (1100° C) oxidation …

A sensitive technique for detecting interstitial O 2 molecules in SiO 2 is demonstrated by
measuring their infrared a→ X luminescence at 1272.2 nm under a Ti-sapphire laser …

Deal and Grove's formulation is applied to model the oxidation of the silicon bond coat in
environmental barrier coatings. The approach is similar to the author's previous study …

In the 1980s and 1990s, the development of oxygen ion conductors for solid electrolytes, as
well as mixed oxygen–electron conductors as electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells, brought …

Abstract For SiC f/SiC composites used in the hot section components of turbine engines,
corrosion under high temperature oxidative environment has become potential threat to the …

This paper studies the oxidation behavior of nanoscale 3C-SiC in O 2 and CO 2 with a
reactive force field molecular dynamics (ReaxFF MD) simulation. The first step of the …
