TL;DR: In this article, defects acting as electron traps were investigated in the presence of oxygen vacancies acting as traps in rare-earth ionites, and the glow curves for both LSO and LYSO were compared by wavelength-resolved thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) measurements from 20 to 400.

TL;DR: The results indicate that phonon-spin scattering is important for understanding the general thermal conductivity behaviour, and also explains the anisotropy by coupling to the applied temperature gradient and breaking cubic symmetry.

TL;DR: Ion irradiation experiments and atomistic simulations were used to demonstrate that irradiation-induced lattice swelling in a complex oxide, Lu2Ti2O7, is due initially to the formation of cation antisite defects.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between spall damage and local microstructure was investigated using polycrystalline copper samples via laser-driven plate impacts at low pressures Electron backscattering diffraction was used to relate the presence of porosity to microstructural features such as grain boundaries and triple points.

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution and atomic structure of grain boundaries has been investigated in UO 2, and the experimental data indicated that ∼ 16% of the boundaries were CSL boundaries and the CSL distribution was dominated by low Σ boundaries; namely E9, E3, and Σ5.
