Tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (TZP) is commonly stabilized with 3% to 5% Yttria and has the finest grain size. Since they are almost entirely tetragonal, these zirconia grades have the maximum ...

A team of physicists recently discovered a new phase of water ice, after they put ordinary ice under extraordinarily high pressure and melted it before letting it refreeze. The previously unknown ...

Schematic illustration of water-assisted exfoliation of freestanding oxide membranes from SAO C and SAO T sacrificial layers. Freestanding oxide membrane is a type of low-dimensional quantum material ...

Microstructure evolution in complex nonlinear systems is of great interest from both scientific and engineering viewpoints. Here, we consider an important case of such an evolution, a coherent ...

Zirconia (ZrO 2) is best known among ceramics as being both hard and fracture-tough at room temperature. Additionally, its fine (sub-micron) grain size enables excellent surface finishes and the ...
