According to Osmond Resources (ASX:OSM) , SOR-08 has significantly expanded the heavy mineral prospective geology into a new domain. It pierced the main 3.4m quartzite layer at about 209m below ...

Falling charges: The particle drop tower used in the experiment. (Courtesy: N Mujica) Static electricity is an everyday phenomenon, but it is not well understood. Researchers at the University of ...

In this work, strength assessments and coefficient of water absorption of high performance self compacting concrete containing different amounts of ZrO2 nanoparticles have been investigated. The ...

“As DRAM technology nodes move into the sub-10 nm regime, capacitor scaling is increasingly constrained by both footprint loss and a hard physical thickness limit for the entire ...

In critical fields such as aerospace, military, and industrial manufacturing, surface protection of components has been a longstanding challenge. Ceramic materials with high melting points, hardness, ...

In this study the mixed oxides ZrO2-SiO2, were synthesized by the sol-gel method with a molar ratio of 95:5 (Si/metal) and characterized by X-ray diffraction, absorption-desorption of N2, Fourier ...

Propane dehydrogenation (PDH), as an efficient catalytic production process to obtain propylene, has developed rapidly in recent years. Previous studies have shown that zirconia exhibited excellent ...

The size and electric field dependent induction of polarization in antiferroelectric ZrO2 is the key to several technological applications that are unimaginable a decade ago. However, the lack of a ...

Abstract: In this work, the switching dynamics of HfO2–ZrO2 nanolaminate ferroelectric (FE) films with different laminate thicknesses are investigated. Metal/FE layer/metal capacitors with HfO2–ZrO2 ...

The recent discovery of ferroelectricity in pure ZrO2 has drawn much attention, but the information storage and processing performances of ferroelectric ZrO2-based nonvolatile devices remain open for ...
