As the success of nanostructures grows in modern society so does the importance of our
ability to control their synthesis in precise manners, often with atomic precision as this can …

In modern technologies, the researchers are keen on top-down approaches to tailor the
materials from bulk into their nanometer forms. For the amorphous alumina, this is the other …

Atmospheric plasma spray (APS) of mechanically alloyed equiatomic AlCoCrFeNi high
entropy alloy (HEA) results in a complex alloy-oxide coating. All the constituent phases have …

The electron-irradiation-induced crystallization of amorphous Al 2 O 3 (a-Al 2 O 3) was
investigated by in-situ transmission electron microscopy under the wide electron-energy …

Molybdenum-rich radioactive waste streams in the UK will be vitrified into glass composite
high-level waste (HLW) products containing powellite (CaMoO 4) crystals. These materials …

Well-dispersed spherical amorphous alumina nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution
were obtained by facile homogeneous precipitation and subsequent calcination. In the …

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) provides uniform and conformal thin films that are of interest
for a range of applications. To better understand the properties of amorphous ALD films, we …

Al/Al 2 O 3 coating with a total thickness of approximately 3 μm was irradiated by 6 MeV Au-
ions with the damage level from 13 to 39 dpa at room temperature. The results showed that …

The effects of homogenous electron beam (EB) irradiation on the crystal growth and
thermoelectric properties of n-type Bi-Se-Te and p-type Bi-Sb-Te thin films were …

We present a method for high temperature stabilization of bulk amorphous aluminium oxide.
The stabilization is achieved by dispersing polysilane dendritic molecules in aluminium …
