“Photonic applications using the II-VI semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) are becoming increasingly prevalent, and research into even more uses is exploding, with hundreds of labs looking into the ...

In un-doped ZrO2-SiO2 system, the GBs between ZrO2 nanocrystallites were clean without dopant segregation. When heating the material, Zr and O atoms could easily cross the GBs, resulting in grain ...

What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) disc samples doped with copper oxide as the main impurity were prepared and irradiated for 2 min by 1.064 μm semi-train of 20 ps pulses having energy of 80 mJ in a spot size of 5 mm ...

ABSTRACT Impact toughness (or resistance to fracture) is a key material property for press hardened steel used in construction of the safety-critical elements of automotive body structures. Prior ...

Researchers have developed an ultracompact camera the size of a coarse grain of salt. The new system can produce crisp, full-color images on par with a conventional compound camera lens 500,000 times ...
