The Possible Detriment of Oxygen in Creep of Alumina and Zirconia Ceramic Composites Reinforced with Graphene
(MDPI, 2021)
This paper aims to give an answer to the following question: is the oxidation of graphene a critical issue for high-temperature plasticity in graphene-reinforced ceramics? To give a convincing reply, we will focus on two ...

Anisotropy field distribution in soft magnetic Hitperm alloys submitted to different field annealing processes
(Elsevier, 2016)
The magnetic anisotropy field distribution is discussed for Hitperm alloys annealed under different field conditions leading to different induced magnetic anisotropies: zero (ZF), transversal (TF), and longitudinal (LF) ...

Elusive super-hard B6C accessible through the laser-floating zone method
(Nature, 2019)
Boron carbide is among the most promising ceramic materials nowadays: their mechanical properties are outstanding, and they open potential critical applications in near future. Since sinterability is the most critical ...

Electrical conduction mechanisms in graphene nanoplatelet/yttria tetragonal zirconia composites
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
Yttria tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (3YTZP) ceramic composites with 5, 10 and 20 vol% graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and their electrical conductivity as a function ...

A Toggle-Switch and a Feed-Forward Loop Engage in the Control of the Drosophila Retinal Determination Gene Network
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
Dipterans show a striking range of eye sizes, shapes, and functional specializations. Their eye is of the compound type, the most frequent eye architecture in nature. The development of this compound eye has been most ...

A quantitative criterion for determining the order of magnetic phase transitions using the magnetocaloric effect
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
The ideal magnetocaloric material would lay at the borderline of a first-order and a second-order phase transition. Hence, it is crucial to unambiguously determine the order of phase transitions for both applied magnetocaloric ...

Creep study on alumina and alumina/SWCNT nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2018)
Alumina and alumina/SWCNT nanocomposites have been sintered by spark plasma sintering, obtaining relative densities higher than 99%. Microstuctural characterization revealed a grain microstructure in the submicron range, ...

Nanostructuring as a procedure to control the field dependence of the magnetocaloric effect
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
In this work, the field dependence of the magnetocaloric effect of Gd bulk samples has been enhanced through nanostructuring of the material. Nanostructuring consists in multilayers preparation by alternative rf-sputter ...

Nanocrystallization Kinetics Understood as Multiple Microprocesses Following the Classical Theory of Crystallization
(Elsevier, 2016)
In this work, we propose a model for using the classical Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) crystallization theory to analyze nanocrystallization processes as a set of multiple microprocesses. This model is based on the ...

Grinding and particle size selection as a procedure to enhance the magnetocaloric response of La( Fe, Si)(13) bulk samples
(Elsevier, 2017-05)
The magnetocaloric effect of La(Fe,Si)13 samples deteriorates with the presence of secondary phases. However, it is highly challenging to produce single phase samples by conventional procedures and purification requires ...
