Piezoelectrics are materials that linearly deform in response to an applied electric field. As a
fundamental prerequisite, piezoelectric materials must have a noncentrosymmetric crystal …

X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) spectroscopy has been widely used to characterize
the short-range order of glassy materials since the theoretical basis was established 45 …

The characterization of complex materials in terms of their structure, electronic, magnetic,
vibrational, thermodynamic or other physical and chemical properties is often a challenging …

Abstract TiO 2 and 10 wt% Ni-Zr x Ti 1− x O 2 (x= 0, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2) catalysts were
synthesized and used for CO 2 methanation reaction. The catalyst with 10 mol% Zr addition …

Abstract Al 2 O 3–SiO 2–ZrO 2 ternary glasses were fabricated using a levitation technique.
The addition of ZrO 2 to the Al 2 O 3–SiO 2 glasses strongly affected their thermal …

A mechanism based on oxidation induced bonding reconstruction (OBR) was proposed to
optimize phase selection during oxidation of amorphous Zr x Si 1− x (0.55≤ x≤ 0.75) …

We report a detailed structural investigation of Ca-Na aluminosilicate glasses containing 0–
20 wt% ZrO 2 using X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and 27 Al and 29 …

The high economic importance of glass ceramics based on Li2O/Al2O3/SiO2 (LAS) is mainly
due to their low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), which make these materials …

Designed synthesis of nanostructured ZrO 2 as support for glycerol valorization reaction was
investigated. The nanocasting route was used to obtain the ZrO 2 support possessing well …

Pure and nickel doped zirconium oxide (ZrO 2) samples namely N1, N2, N3, N4 have been
synthesized by sol–gel method at different doping concentrations (0, 1, 3 and 5 molar …
