The Active Site of Methanol Synthesis over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 Industrial Catalysts

TL;DR: This work shows how to identify the crucial atomic structure motif for the industrial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 methanol synthesis catalyst by using a combination of experimental evidence from bulk, surface-sensitive, and imaging methods collected on real high-performance catalytic systems in combination with density functional theory calculations.

Microstructural design of hard coatings

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the correlation between microstructure and mechanical as well as tribological properties of hard ceramic coatings and demonstrate that nanostructure dependent hardness increase (compared to hardness of the bulk counterparts) sustains higher annealing temperatures than hardness increase due to an increased density of point-and/or line-defects.

Stress analysis of polycrystalline thin films and surface regions by X-ray diffraction

TL;DR: The components of the macroscopic mechanical stress tensor of a stressed thin film, coating, multilayer or the region near the surface of a bulk material can in principle be determined by X-ray diffraction as discussed by the authors.

Size–strain line-broadening analysis of the ceria round-robin sample

TL;DR: The results of both a line-broadening study on a ceria sample and a size-strain round robin on diffraction line broadening methods, which was sponsored by the Commission on Powder Diffraction of the International Union of Crystallography, are presented in this paper.

Metrological characterization of X-ray diffraction methods for determination of crystallite size in nano-scale materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Scherrer equation and the Warren-Averbach method to calculate the size of TiO2 nanocrystalline powders from X-ray diffraction data.
