Available systems of empirical (crystallographic) ionic radii are compared. All these systems turn out to be compatible if the O2− radius is taken to be 0.140 nm. The choice of the oxygen ionic radius is dictated by the equality of the metal ion-oxygen ion distances in oxide crystals and the metal ion-oxygen atom dist…

Strained epitaxial SrTiO3 films were grown on orthorhombic (101) DyScO3 substrates by reactive molecular-beam epitaxy. The epitaxy of this substrate/film combination is cube on cube with a pseudocubic out-of-plane (001) orientation. The strain state and structural perfection of films with thicknesses ranging from 50 t…

Large-scale β-MnO2 nanorods were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. In X band, the microwave attenuation of the β-MnO2 nanorods is evidently enhanced with increasing temperature from 293 to 773 K. The enhanced temperature-response attenuation of β-MnO2 nanorods is mainly attributed to the decrease in the real per…

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) has been made radiation-resistant through a nanocomposite (NC) route. The bombardment of high-energy swift heavy ions (SHI) on PVDF and its NCs with layered silicate has been studied in a range of fluences. The degradation of PVDF after SHI irradiation is suppressed radically in NCs. P…

pH is one of the most important parameters that determine the crystallization process, but it is always neglected in the preparation of α‐calcium sulfate hemihydrate (α‐HH) from calcium sulfate dihydrate (DH) with the hydrothermal method. Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum, which is mainly composed of DH, was used…
