Emerging of high-entropy ceramics has brought new opportunities for designing and
optimizing materials with desired properties. In the present work, high-entropy rare-earth …

Crack growth needs to be restricted in ceramics used for biomedical, microelectronic, and
any structural applications whatsoever. Having the know-how of its initiation and …

The development of rare-earth zirconates with tunable thermal expansion coefficient (TEC)
and thermal conductivity is of great importance in the area of thermal barrier coatings. In …

The equation of the Vickers indentation fracture (VIF) proposed by Moradkhani et al.(J. Adv.
Ceram. 2, 87–102 (2013)) has been used for the determination of indentation fracture …

FeB and Fe 2 B hard ceramic phases were produced in Armco iron using gas-boriding in N
2–H 2–BCl 3 atmosphere. This process was carried out at 920° C (1193 K) for 3 h and …

In recent years, due to the continuous increase of environmental pollution, green and
environmentally friendly building materials have received key attention from researchers …

The “seesaw relationship” between thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient
(CTE) in most high temperature ceramics has become an obstacle to the design of long-life …

The full-Heusler (FH) inclusions in the half-Heusler (HH) matrix is a well-studied approach to
reduce the lattice thermal conductivity of ZrNiSn HH alloy. However, excess Ni in ZrNiSn …

Fe-Al intermetallic alloys with aluminum content over 60 at% are in the area of the phase
equilibrium diagram that is considerably less investigated in comparison to the high …

Band engineering is a promising approach that proved successful in enhancing the
thermoelectric performance of several families of thermoelectric materials. Here, we show …
