Sintering is the process whereby interparticle pores in a granular material are eliminated by
atomic diffusion driven by capillary forces. It is the preferred manufacturing method for …

A Comprehensive and Self-Contained Treatment of the Theory and Practical Applications of
Ceramic Materials When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is often catastrophic …

Die exakte wissenschaftliche Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Keramik hat erst zum Ende des
19. Jahrhunderts eingesetzt. Die dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dienten nicht nur der …

Impurity doping often alters or improves the properties of materials. In alumina, grain
boundaries play a key role in deformation mechanisms, particularly in the phenomenon of …

Ice-core measurements indicate that atmospheric CO2 concentrations during glacial periods
were consistently about 80 parts per million lower than during interglacial periods. Previous …

Isothermal and constant‐grain‐size sintering have been carried out to full density in Y2O3
with and without dopants, at as low as 40% of the homologous temperature. The normalized …

First-principles plane-wave pseudopotential calculations were performed to study electronic
structures, structural relaxation, and energetics of intrinsic vacancies and interstitials in Al 2 …

We investigated the preparation of bulk dense nanocrystalline BaTiO3 and Ni–Cu–Zn ferrite
ceramics using an unconventional two‐step sintering strategy, which offers the advantage of …
