To better elucidate and comprehend the origin of the elastic anisotropy observed in silica
sand, this study investigates the nanoscale mechanical properties of α-quartz (the main …

To develop a better understanding of the phase stability and elastic properties of the Al–Pr
intermetallic compounds, the lattice parameters, enthalpy of formation, and cohesive energy …

First-principles computations based on density functional theory (DFT) were used to
investigate the doping formation energy, elastic constants, population analysis, and …

First of all, the smelting equipment is the most important component of a foundry's main
production process and therefore requires constant reproduction. This is ensured by timely …

The formation of silicate grains in the interstellar medium (ISM), especially those containing
chiral surfaces such as clinopyroxenes, is poorly understood. Moreover, silicate interactions …

Ultrasonic sounding, petrographic image analysis, and mercury intrusion porosimetry was
performed on 52 Westerly granite (Rhode Island, USA) specimens exposed to controlled …

When SiO 2 films undergo oxidation on 4H–SiC, a distinctive crystalline phase, cristobalite,
emerges at elevated temperatures. We deeply explored the growth mechanism of the …

Ti 3 C 2 MXene may have a far-reaching prospect as a reinforcing phase for Al-matrix
composites. Coating Ni on the Ti 3 C 2 surface is an important method to improve the …

Two innovative high-temperature oxidation methods for 4H-SiC were developed, with
observations made via Optical Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope and Raman …

Understanding the behavior of SiO 2 under different external conditions, particularly
pressure, is essential for advancing its applications. While existing literature primarily …
