Abstract: Abstract In annealing of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (YSTZ), {011}-specific twins and sub-surface defects are often observed, however their effects on the martensitic phase transformation and deformation behavior of YSTZ have never been investigated. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.35848/1882-0786/adab50
Abstract: Pre-existing defects in semiconductor devices can act as nucleation sites for radiation damage. Defects generated from mismatches in lattice constant, stiffness and thermal expansion are difficult to eliminate with thermal annealing. We propose a non-thermal… read more here.
