Effects of Polarity on Grain Boundary Migration in ZnO

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Jong S. Lee, Sheldon M. Wiederhorn
Boundary migration of ZnO has been investigated using single crystals with defined crystallographic orientations. The migration rate of the basal C planes depended on the crystallographic polarity: Zn-terminated positive (0001)-planes. The migration in the

Enviromental Concerns Facing the Ceramics Industry

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Stephen W. Freiman
Over the past few years, there has been increased attention paid by ceramic manufacturers in the United States to environmental issues facing their businesses. In a recent survey of its members, the environment was identified as the primary issue facing

Experts Evaluate Pulsed Laser Deposition Technology

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
John W. Hastie, D W. Bonnell, D Chrissey
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, Gaithersburg, MD) and The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL, Washington, DC) jointly hosted a workshop entitled Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) Technological Barriers: Research Needs and Opportunities

First-Principles Effective Hamiltonians for PbZrO 3

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Eric J. Cockayne
The phase transformation behavior and physical properties of the technologically important PbZr 1-xTi xO 3 (PZT) solid solution series are of great interest. For example, the large piezoelectric response of PZT (x = 0.45) makes this compound suitable for

Glass forming liquids and polymers: what we learn from statistical physics

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
S C. Glotzer, Y Gebremichael, N Lacevic, T B. Schroder, Francis W. Starr
We describe the application of statistical mechanical framework, originally developed to describe critical phenonema, to the problem of dynamic criticality associated with the glass transition of various materials.
