This article is a commentary on our previous work entitled “Reassessment of oxidation-induced amorphization and dissolution Nb precipitates in Zr-Nb nuclear fuel cladding tube”, published Acta Materialia 2017. The highlight this 2017 paper discovery that solid-state can occur even when the motion atoms (or more precisely, all constituent elements amorphous material) not frozen-in. Although judg...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have an important impact in the actual medicinal therapy, having indications in covering the range from rheumatic inflammations to cardio-vascular, genito-urinary and stomatological diseases. Flufenamic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, from the class of fenamates. It exhibits poor aqueous solubility, accordingly the aim of this study was to en...

Amorphization and solid-phase epitaxial growth were studied in C-cluster ion-implanted Si. C7H7 ions were implanted at a C-equivalent energy of 10 keV to C doses of 0.1 9 10 cm 2 to 8.0 9 10 cm 2 into (001) Si wafers. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a C amorphizing dose of 5.0 9 10 cm . Annealing of amorphized specimens to effect solid-phase epitaxial growth resulted in defect-free gr...

Previous computer simulations of multiple 10 keV Si cascades in 3C–SiC demonstrated that many damage-state properties exhibit relatively smooth, but noticeably different, dose dependencies. A more recent analysis of these damage-state properties, which includes additional data at low and intermediate doses, reveals more complex relationships between system energy, swelling, energy per defect, r...
