At a microscopic level, the difference between glass and ceramics makes them suitable for various applications.

Students will be able to discriminate between traditional and advanced ceramics. Students will be able to recognize and describe common ceramic crystal structures. Students will be able to use defect ...

Perovskites are ceramics with a structure that gives them remarkable abilities to store electric charge. The crystalline structure consists of a network of titanium and oxygen octahedra, in ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...

The local atomic structure of the ceramic can be deduced from the X-rays scattered by the material. ... (XRD) technique that only detects crystalline structures. This work shows that during the ...

It is believed that in the structure of glass-ceramics, crystal nuclei, which are the seeds of crystals, form within the glass matrix, from which crystal particles grow.
