“Photonic applications using the II-VI semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) are becoming increasingly prevalent, and research into even more uses is exploding, with hundreds of labs looking into the ...

Finding the grain boundaries in materials is vital because the material’s grain structure very often defines its mechanical properties. An example is given in the Hall-Petch relation, where strength ...

Materials are often considered to be one phase, but many engineering materials contain two or more phases, improving their properties and performance. These two-phase materials have inclusions, called ...
