TL;DR: In this article, a selfconsistent and logical account of key issues on Ti-Ni-based alloys from physical metallurgy viewpoint on an up-to-date basis is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize recent progress in doping control, materials processing methods such as dry etching and Ohmic and Schottky contact formation, new understanding of the role of hydrogen and finally the prospects for control of ferromagnetism in transition-metal doped ZnO.

TL;DR: A review of recent developments in preparation, characterization, properties, crystallization behaviors, melt rheology, processing, and future applications possibilities of biodegradable polymers and their layered silicate nanocomposites can be found in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role played by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) of CNTs is discussed, in particular the influence of the composition of the catalyst material, morphology of the nanoparticles, support, preparation method, and reduction pretreatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the state-of-the-art in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be found, which can be classified as one-phase or two-phase and finite difference or finite element.

TL;DR: McHenry et al. as discussed by the authors summarized the current knowledge about the constitution, mechanical and magnetic properties of these alloys, focussing on the general properties of bulk FeCo and FeCo-X alloys (developed for applications such as rotor or stator laminations in motors).

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the alloys created in binary systems with positive heat of mixing is presented, with an emphasis on the atomic-level structure and calorimetric determination of the positive enthalpy of mixing of several model binary alloys, covering both amorphous and crystalline solid solutions.

TL;DR: In this article, the physical properties of exfoliated graphite blocks are reviewed and modelled in a completely self-consistent way, using classical concepts of disordered matter physics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal properties of all-metallic sandwich structures with two-dimensional prismatic and truss cores were analyzed using measurements in conjunction with analytical modeling and numerical simulation.

TL;DR: In this article, the latest progress in the preparation of electrode materials by sol-gel methods is reviewed, including cathodic ones, e.g., lithium cobalt oxides, lithium nickel oxides and spinel and layered lithium manganese oxides.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general approach for investigating the crystallography of precipitation is developed from a systematic analysis of interfacial structures, where the central hypothesis is that a habit plane or major facet developed in a precipitation reaction is the physical realization of a singular interface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model that unifies the classical Hume-Rothery stabilization for sp electron metals with the virtual bound state model for TM atoms embedded in a metallic matrix.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a graphite-lithium mixture was investigated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries and it was shown that the performance can be improved by adding small particles of graphite obtained by ball-milling.
