Tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (TZP) is commonly stabilized with 3% to 5% Yttria and has the finest grain size. Since they are almost entirely tetragonal, these zirconia grades have the maximum ...

A team of physicists recently discovered a new phase of water ice, after they put ordinary ice under extraordinarily high pressure and melted it before letting it refreeze. The previously unknown ...

Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of antiferromagnets as the active component in spintronic devices. This is in contrast to their current passive role as pinning layers in hard disk read ...

Schematic illustration of water-assisted exfoliation of freestanding oxide membranes from SAO C and SAO T sacrificial layers. Freestanding oxide membrane is a type of low-dimensional quantum material ...

Zirconia (ZrO 2) is best known among ceramics as being both hard and fracture-tough at room temperature. Additionally, its fine (sub-micron) grain size enables excellent surface finishes and the ...
