We demonstrate a generic approach for the synthesis of single-crystal complex oxide nanostructures of various structure types, such as perovskites, spinels, monoclinic, corundum, CaF(2) structured, tetragonal, and even metal hydroxides. The method is based on a reaction between a metallic salt and a metallic oxide in a solution of composite-hydroxide eutectic at approximately 200 degrees C and ...

Because of its superior properties, stainless steel has been widely used for many applications. Nonmetallic inclusions can influence the quality products. A set samples was to track response inclusion composition during processing a heat titanium-bearing 18% chromium steel, from deoxidation after decarburization, solidified slab. The oxide responded as expected additions deoxidizers and calcium...
