Ceramic Keratoprostheses

open access: yesOphthalmology, 1980
This paper describes a new type of corneal prosthesis made of aluminum oxide ceramic. The implant consists of a retaining plate with a 3-mm central performation to which an optical cylinder is threaded. The cylinder also made of ceramic material, has a high refractive index and 60 diopters of power. Experimental study has shown that soft tissue adheres

Thermal-inert and ohmic-contact interface for high performance half-Heusler based thermoelectric generator

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Unsatisfied electrode bonding in half-Heusler devices limits their practical service at high temperatures. Here, the authors develop a direct bonding interface to ideal ohmic contact and thermally inert and ohmic contact, leading to high deficiency.

Scaling exponents for fracture surfaces in homogenous glass and glassy ceramics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We investigate the scaling properties of post-mortem fracture surfaces in silica glass and glassy ceramics. In both cases, the 2D height-height correlation function is found to obey Family-Viseck scaling properties, but with two sets of critical ...
