Heyrovskyite, a rare Pb-Bi sulfosalt, was found around a fumarole of ca. 500 °C at the La Fossa crater, Vulcano Island, Italy. The mineral occurs in the thin sulfosalt-rich crust covering the brecciated altered rocks of fumaroles, mainly admixed with selenian varieties of lillianite and cannizzarite, with subordinate…

A first study of the effect of weak pulsed magnetic fields (PMFs) on Sb 1− x As x solid solution crystals is reported. An effect of long-time (months) redistribution of the solid solution components at room temperature after a short (seconds) exposure to a PMF was revealed. The effect includes stages of enrichment of…

Water‐induced degradation of barium titanate (BTO) ceramics has been investigated using electrochemical hydrogen charging, in which the silver electrodes of BTO ceramic specimens are made cathodes in a 0.01 M NaOH solution to evolve hydrogen by electrolysis of water. After 80 h of treatment, the resistance of BTO decr…

Boundary migration under an electric field was investigated for pure, TiO 2 ‐doped, and Li 2 O‐doped Al 2 O 3 specimens. Boundary migration rates in TiO 2 ‐doped and Li 2 O‐doped Al 2 O 3 specimens were much faster compared with that of pure Al 2 O 3 . In all specimens, the migration rate was observed to depend on the…

Abstract It is still not clear why the long‐term properties of plastic weld seams can only be differentiated by the very expensive medium tensile creep tests. One hypothesis for justifying this is based on the change in the structure of the weld seam surroundings, another cites the consumption of antioxidants and the…

A spin coating composite sol gel technique for producing lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thick films has been modified for use with screen printing techniques. The resulting screen printing technique can be used to produce 10 μm thick films in a single print. The resultant films are porous but the density can be increas…

Effects of preparation conditions on the microstructures and periodicity of the superstructure for Li1+xNb1-xTixO3 phase M polycrystals were investigated. Obtained specimens, mainly comprised of elongated plate-like grains, and their surfaces were found to be parallel to periodical domains. Sintered materials were fou…

The microstructural evolution during sintering of Al 2 O 3 was investigated to determine the role of MgO additive, particularly when its concentration is very low (<200 ppm). Compared with specimens without MgO, a few Al 2 O 3 grains were observed to grow enormously after the addition of 50 or 100 ppm MgO. When MgO…

Abstract Main mechanisms of tough response of polymers are described. In heterogeneous polymer systems due to mechanical misfit between heterogeneities and the matrix a high negative pressure (tri‐axial stress) is generated. The excessive negative pressure is the main reason of material cavitation. Cavitation appears…
