The characterization of subsurface cracks induced by indentation is a challenge for
understanding contact damage, impact, wear, erosion, and abrasion of brittle materials …

Due to containing abundant FeO x and trace heavy metals (Pb, As, Cr, Cd, etc.), the disposal
of lead/zinc smelting slag (LSS-ZSS) with ultra-high historical reserves has attracted …

This study assessed the effect of kaolinite edge surfaces on solid-state reactions.
Specifically, Tb3+-doped metastable CaAl2Si2O8 showing green phosphorescence was …

Abstract The influence of Zn/Ba ratio on crystallization, sintering behavior and properties of
CaO-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 (CAS) glass-ceramics was investigated. As the Zn/Ba ratio increases …

The ratio of the intensity of Tb3+ fluorescence at 543 nm because of an electric dipole
transition (5D4–7F5) relative to that at 437 nm due to a magnetic dipole transition (5D3–7F4) …

Expanded kaolinite without impurities was found to serve as a suitable raw material for the
rapid formation of metastable CaAl2Si2O8 with the suppression of byproduct formation. This …

X-ray nano-computed tomography (nano-CT) is a powerful technique to characterize and
visualize 3 dimensional (3D) phenomena in complex glasses at the nanoscale. This …

In this study, the garnet-type Yb 3 Al 5 O 12 coating was fabricated by atmospheric plasma
spraying and its properties were systematically investigated. Results show the as-sprayed …

Contact damage in materials is critical in engineering applications because it influences
mechanical resistance, such as wear, erosion, and impact failure. Indentation tests were …

Microstructural control of CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 (CAS) glass ceramics (GCs) was achieved by
oxidation and mixing with nucleation agents. CAS GCs were precipitated with hexagonal …
