In a recent contribution, Kumar et al.(J Mech Phys Solids 142: 104027, 2020) have
introduced a comprehensive macroscopic phase-field theory for the nucleation and …

In this study, the effects of both indenter sharpness and stiffness on the indentation response
of oxide glasses have been investigated. Using five different indenters, the indentation …

The irradiation of Cu-doped Cd-phosphate glass mediated by gamma rays shows the
conversion of Cu 2+↔ Cu+ ion with subsequent glass defects which leads to the loss of …

Glass is a material with a rich history and a bright future. Due to its outstanding properties
and its versatility, it is a key material in many applications. In this paper, we present a variety …

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 …

We used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the dependence of the atomic-scale
structure on the temperature and pressure conditions of Al 70 Ni 15 Co 15 metallic glass …

Indentation tests are largely exploited in experiments to characterize the mechanical and
fracture properties of the materials from the resulting crack patterns. This work proposes an …

Assuming that heat is transported by lattice vibrations (phonons) in silicate glasses, their
thermal conductivity is correlated with the product of sound velocity, volumetric heat …

The effect of the starting materials of the nucleation agents for glass–ceramics (GCs) was
explored. The number of hexagonal platy particles of metastable‐CaAl2Si2O8 in CaO …

Photovoltaic (PV) module materials and technologies continue to evolve as module
manufacturers and buyers try to minimize costs, maximize performance, and speed …
