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 ...

Influence of the processing route on the carbon nanotubes dispersion and creep resistance of 3YTZP/SWCNTs nanocomposites
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-02-01)
3YTZP matrix composites containing 2.5 vol% of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) at 1250C, following different processing routines with the aim of optimizing the SWCNTs ...

Spark Plasma Sintered Zirconia Ceramic Composites with Graphene-Based Nanostructures
(MDPI, 2018)
The addition of graphene-based nanostructures (GBNs) can improve the inherent fragility of ceramics and provide them with improved electrical and thermal conductivities. However, both the starting material (ceramic matrix ...

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 ...

Numerical Simulation of a Wall-Flow Particulate Filter Made of Biomorphic Silicon Carbide Able to Fit Different Fuel/Biofuel Inputs
(MDPI, 2019-12)
To meet the increasingly strict emission limits imposed by regulations, internal combustion engines for transport applications require the urgent development of novel emission abatement systems. The introduction of ...

Sensitive response of GNP/epoxy coatings as strain sensors: Analysis of tensile-compressive and reversible cyclic behavior
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2020-06)
The electromechanical performance and reversibility of sensitive GNP/epoxy strain sensors were experimentally and theoretically analyzed. Under tensile loads, the strain sensors showed lower sensitivity and more linearity ...

Directionally Solidified Cobalt-Doped MgO-MgAl2O4 Eutectic Composites for Selective Emitters
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Cobalt-doped MgO-MgAl2O4 eutectic composites were explored for their use as selective emitters for thermophotovoltaic devices. Eutectic ceramic rods with different cobalt content were directionally solidified by using ...

Flue gas adsorption by single-wall carbon nanotubes: A Monte Carlo study
(American Institute of Physics Publising LLC, 2016)
Adsorption of flue gases by single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) has been studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The flue gas is modeled as a ternary mixture of N2, CO2, and O2, emulating realistic compositions of ...
