The elastic properties of silica phases are reviewed. Available monocrystal data for
crystalline SiO2 polymorphs (low-quartz, high-quartz, low-cristobalite, high-cristobalite …

All dielectric materials including ceramics, semiconductors, biomaterials, and polymers have
the property of flexoelectricity, which opens a fertile avenue to sensing, actuation, and …

Abstract Fe/CeO 2-SiO 2 nanocomposite was synthesized via hydrothermal method. Bond
length of nanocomposite was determined through FTIR analysis, while Raman analysis …

Abstract As HfO 2-doped Si bond coat acts a pivotal part in application of progressive
environmental barrier coating (EBC) system owing to improving the high-temperature …

The event-by-event Monte Carlo model, TREKIS, was developed to describe the excitation
of the electron subsystems of various solids by a penetrating swift heavy ion (SHI), the …

Structural parameters, elastic, electronic, bonding and optical properties of rutile GeO2 and
α-quartz GeO2 have been investigated using the plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential …

The lattice dynamics of three polymorphs of Si 3 N 4, α, β, and γ phases, has been
calculated by the real space force constant method combined with first-principles …

We used density functional theory calculations to investigate the physical origin of the
mechanochemical response of material interfaces. Our results show that the …

The electronic properties of a group of oxides with important technological applications were
studied performing ab initio calculations. Al 2 O 3 is an important ceramic and catalyst …

Rutile GeO 2 is a visible and near-ultraviolet-transparent oxide that has not been explored
for semiconducting applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. We investigate the …
