Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of Spinel
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal structure of compounds with the general formula AB 2 X 4, which crystallize with the same atomic structure as the mineral spinel, MgAl 2 O 4, is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation tolerance of complex oxides
Kurt E. Sickafus,Licia Minervini,Robin W. Grimes,James A. Valdez,Manabu Ishimaru,Fuxin Li,Kenneth J. McClellan,Thomas Hartmann +7 more
TL;DR: Preliminary radiation damage experiments substantiate the prediction that fluorites are inherently more radiation resistant than pyrochlores, and may permit the chemical durability and radiation tolerance of potential hosts for actinides and radioactive wastes to be tailored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disorder in Pyrochlore Oxides
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the experimentally observed stability range of the pyrochlore structure to A and B cation size and disorder, and found that disorder enthalpies decrease dramatically with increasing Bcation size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation-induced amorphization resistance and radiation tolerance in structurally related oxides
Kurt E. Sickafus,Robin W. Grimes,James A. Valdez,A. R. Cleave,Ming Tang,Manabu Ishimaru,Siobhan M. Corish,Christopher R. Stanek,Blas P. Uberuaga +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that improved amorphization resistance characteristics are to be found in compounds that have a natural tendency to accommodate lattice disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Area Loss of Supported Platinum in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
TL;DR: In this paper, a crystallite migration particle growth mechanism is suggested by the shape of the particle size distribution curves, which may possibly be attributed to the different hydration levels at the anode and the cathode in operating polymer electrolyte fuel cells.
