The interaction of molten calcium–magnesium alumino‐silicate (CMAS) with yttrium monosilicate (YMS), a candidate environmental barrier coating (EBC) for SiC‐based ceramic matrix composites, was investigated. YMS monoliths were exposed to CMAS melts at 1300°C for times ranging from 1 to 100 h and characterized by scann…

Solid-solution strengthening results from solutes impeding the glide of dislocations. Existing theories of strength rely on solute-dislocation interactions, but do not consider dislocation core structures, which need an accurate treatment of chemical bonding. Here, we focus on strengthening of Mg, the lightest of all…

Molten metallic nanoparticles have recently been used to construct graphene nanostructures with crystallographic edges. The mechanism by which this happens, however, remains unclear. Here, we present a simple model that explains how a droplet can etch graphene. Two factors possibly contribute to this process: a differ…

We investigate the binding of single and quadruple hydrogen molecules on a positively charged Ca ion. By comparing with benchmark quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations we demonstrate wide variability in other more approximate electronic structure methods including common density functionals. Single determinant QMC ca…

A three-dimensional phase-field approach to martensitic transformations that uses reaction pathways in place of a Landau potential is introduced and applied to a model of Fe3Ni. Pathway branching involves an unbounded set of variants through duplication and rotations by the rotation point groups of the austenite and m…

An effective-mass theory with a deformation-induced (an axial) gauge field is proposed as a theoretical framework to study graphene edge. Though the gauge field is singular at edge, it can represent the boundary condition and this framework is adopted to solve the scattering problems for the zigzag and armchair edges.…

For the clear understanding of the role of interface reaction between top metal electrode and titanium oxide layer, we investigated the effects of various top metals on the resistive switching in Metal/a-TiO2/Al devices. The top Al device with the highest oxygen affinity showed the best memory performance, which is at…

The effect of state-selective reactive decay on the relaxation kinetics of quantum multistate systems is studied in detail in the Bloch-Redfield approach (BRA). The results are applied to the analysis of this effect in radical pair recombination kinetics. The BRA is shown to be able to describe quantitatively most imp…

The Raman spectra of single crystals of ${\text{NiFe}}_{2}{\text{O}}_{4}$ were studied in various scattering configurations in close comparison with the corresponding spectra of ${\text{Ni}}_{0.7}{\text{Zn}}_{0.3}{\text{Fe}}_{2}{\text{O}}_{4}$ and ${\text{Fe}}_{3}{\text{O}}_{4}$. The number of experimentally observed…

Sequence, which Nature uses to spectacular advantage, has not been fully exploited in synthetic copolymers. To investigate the effect of sequence and stereosequence on the physical properties of copolymers, a family of complex isotactic, syndiotactic, and atactic repeating sequence poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) copoly…

In this paper we show that experimentally realizable apparently piezoelectric thin-film superlattices can be created from nonpiezoelectric materials provided an odd-order (e.g., trilayer) stacking sequence is used. The size-dependent mechanism of flexoelectricity, which couples gradients of strain to polarization, all…

Lead‐free (Ba 1− x Ca x )(Ti 0.95 Zr 0.05 )O 3 ( x =0.02–0.20) ceramics were prepared successfully using a solid‐state reaction technique. The polymorphic phase transitions from orthorhombic to tetragonal phase around room temperature were identified in the composition range of 0.06< x <0.10. A high piezoelectri…

We define a continuum energy functional that effectively interpolates between the mean-field Maier-Saupe energy and the continuum Landau-de Gennes energy functional and can describe both spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous systems. In the mean-field approach the main macroscopic variable, the Q-tensor order parame…
