Metal oxide nanoparticles demonstrate uniqueness in various technical applications due to their suitable physiochemical properties. In particular, yttrium (Y2O3) nanoparticle is familiar for because of its higher dielectric constant and thermal stability. It widely used as a host material variety rare-earth dopants, biological imaging, photodynamic therapies. Y2O3 has also been polarizer, phosp...

To extend the use of CMOS technology beyond 14 nm node technology, new device materials are required that can enhance the performance of MOSFETs. The use of high-k materials in double gate (DG) MOSFET can triumph over the problem of power dissipation and leakage current. In this paper, we investigated various high-k dielectrics as the gate oxides in a 12 nm SOI FinFET and the performance potent...

We have studied the mechanism by which dispersed Y 2 0 3 exerts beneficial effects on the oxidation protection of an A1203 coating (film) on the basis of the following models: 1) Y2O3 suppresses surface segregation of S by trapping it in the alloy matrix and accordingly suppresses spalling of the A1203 film; 2.1) The diffusion of alloying elements into the N2o3 film is retarded by dispersed oxi...

Er(3+) doped Y2O3 and Nb2O5 modified germanate glasses with different Er(3+) concentrations were prepared. J-O intensity parameters were computed to estimate the structural changes due to the additions of Y2O3 and Nb2O5. The main mid-infrared spectroscopic features were investigated. To shed light on the observed mid-infrared radiative behavior, 975 nm and 1.53 μm emission spectra along with th...

We present a systematic density-functional study of phase relations in three 4d-transition-metal sesquioxides: Y2O3, Rh2O3, and In2O3. Y2O3 and In2O3 undergo pressure-induced transitions to phases with larger cation coordination number (from 6 to 7) at low pressures. However, this does not occur in Rh2O3 at least up to *300 GPa. This cannot be explained by usual arguments based on ionic-radii r...

Two compositions of ZrB2-based ceramic composites containing Si3N4, Al2O3 and Y2O3 have been hot-pressed at different temperatures between 1673 and 1773 K for 60 min in vacuum. The densification behavior of the composites was examined during the sintering process. The microstructures of the composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, and the crystalline phases were identified...

Oxide dispersion strengthened Cu alloys (ODS-Cu) having dispersed yttria (Y2O3) fabricated using hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of mechanically alloyed (MA) Cu-Y powders. They exhibited a heterogeneous mixed grain structure, which were composed large and small area. In the regions, Y₂O₃ particles segregated along boundaries, acted as crack propagation path, leading to brittle fracture. Therefore,...

Zirconium alloys have been used as a fuel cladding material for a long time because they have good corrosion resistance and irradiation stability in a reactor environment. However, it was recognized that the severe oxidation and creep ballooning behaviors of zirconium alloy cladding tubes at an accident condition of a nuclear reactor have to be considered to improve nuclear plant safety after t...

In the present study, tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) and aluminum/yttrium oxide Alq3/Y2O3 were synthesized by a facile chemical route. The crystal structure, surface morphological nature, particle size identified X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM) micrographs. Ag/Alq3/p-Si/Al Ag/Alq3:Y2O3/p-Si/Al diodes fabricated thermal evaporation techn...
