 Simulation shows how defect-engineered zirconia repairs radiation-induced damageApr 17, 2008
In yttria-stabilized zirconia (top), the defects produced by radiation are few and far between, having less impact on the properties of the material. In zircon (bottom), the defects are clustered, which could compromise the ... |
