Microstructural evolution of silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) and SiAlON materials and its influence on creep resistance is reviewed. Grain size, grain morphology, and the ratio of α‐ to β‐phase grains play a part in resistance to creep. The glassy, intergranular phase typically has the strongest influence on creep. Creep…

First-principles calculations based on density functional theory are performed to study structural and electronic properties of crystalline bundles of (n,0) zigzag and (0,n) armchair-type single-walled boron nanotubes (SWBNT) with small diameter, about 4-6. The results predict a modification in the properties of SWBNT…

A quantum-cutting (QC) phosphor K2GdF5:Eu3+ shows poor optical absorption and a theoretical quantum efficiency (QE) of 107% in the ultraviolet (UV) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation spectral ranges. Pr3+ was codoped as a sensitizer in K2GdF5:Eu3+, thus increasing the absorption in the UV and VUV spectral regions…

BACKGROUND: We have developed magnetite cationic liposomes (MCLs) and applied them as a mediator of local hyperthermia. MCLs can generate heat under an alternating magnetic field (AMF). In this study, the in vivo effect of hyperthermia mediated by MCLs was examined using 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced r…

With the ongoing miniaturization of structures and devices down to the nanometer scale, we notice concomitant escalation of atoms located at surfaces or interfaces. Presence of surfaces and interfaces generates stresses in nanoscale structures that can easily exceed 1GPa. We developed and applied a method for measurin…
