Nanocrystalline germanium synthesis from hydrothermally oxidized Si1−xGex alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used low temperature (475 °C), high pressure (25 MPa) hydrothermal oxidation to form compositionally congruent oxides from epitaxial thin film alloys of Si90Ge10.

Correlation effects in the ground-state charge density of Mott insulating NiO: A comparison of ab initio calculations and high-energy electron diffraction measurements
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of calculated and observed electron charge densities shows that correlations in the Ni $3d$ shell suppress covalent bonding between the oxygen and nickel sublattices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low energy dislocation structures caused by phase transformation
TL;DR: A review of the theory of Frank and van der Merwe applicable to phase transformations in a variety of systems is presented in this article, where the two primary defects at interphase boundaries are shown to be lattice-strain and misfit-compensating dislocations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Necessary and sufficient condition for additivity in the sense of the Palmgren–Miner rule
TL;DR: In this paper, the compatibility of the Palmgren-Miner rule with laws describing the damage development during fatigue was established, if and only if, the damage rate can be presented as a product of the functions of stress (strain) amplitude and current amount of damage.

Kinetics and dilatometric behaviour of non-isothermal ferrite–austenite transformation
TL;DR: In this article, a model that describes the ferrite-austenite transformation during continuous heating in Armco iron and three very low carbon, low manganese steels with a fully ferritic initial microstructure is presented.
