Malte publishes on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of an aluminum single crystal with a free surface

Sept. 17, 2018

Abstract A novel, non-radiative mechanism is reported by which Frenkel pairs of vacancies and interstitials are generated in molar concentrations far above thermal equilibrium. This mechanism is demonstrated in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of an aluminum single crystal with a free surface. They suggest that three conditions must be fulfilled:...

Check out Punith's paper on Flash sintering with current rate

Sept. 15, 2018

Abstract The original flash sintering experiment was carried out by applying an electric field, and switching to current control at the onset of the flash, signaled by a rise in conductivity. Here, we consider experiments where the experiment is controlled from the very start, by injecting current, which is increased...

Bola publishes paper on reactive flash sintering of Al2O3-MgO-8YSZ composite

Sept. 10, 2018

Abstract We show that flash experiments with three phase mixed鈥恜owders of yttria stabilized zirconia (8YSZ), MgO, and 伪鈥怉l2O3 not only produce polycrystals of high density, but also the transformation of magnesia and alumina into single phase spinel. The presence of zirconia facilitates the onset of the flash. The sintering experiments...
