Ultraviolet Upconversion Emission of CaAl2SiO6 Polycrystals Doped with Pr3+ Ions [PDF]
The spectroscopic properties of Pr3+ ions in the aluminosilicate matrix were investigated for the first time. Synthesis of CaAl2SiO6 (CASO) polycrystals doped with Pr3+ ions was carried out using the sol–gel method.

Domain‐Wall Driven Suppression of Thermal Conductivity in a Ferroelectric Polycrystal [PDF]
A common strategy for reducing the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline systems is to increase the number of grain boundaries. Indeed, grain boundaries enhance the probability of phonon scattering events, which has been applied to control the thermal ...

Approaching crystal’s limit of thermoelectrics by nano-sintering-aid at grain boundaries [PDF]
Grain boundary plays a vital role in thermoelectric transports, leading to distinct properties between single crystals and polycrystals. Manipulating the grain boundary to realize good thermoelectric properties in polycrystals similar as those of single ...

Mechanisms of the epitaxial growth of two-dimensional polycrystals
In the epitaxial growth of two-dimensional (2D) materials on substrates, 2D polycrystals with various shapes have been broadly observed, but their formation mechanisms are still highly elusive. Here we present a complete study on the formation mechanisms

Hybrid, Multiscale Numerical Simulations of the Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) using the Crystal Plasticity Theory [PDF]
The FEM simulations of the ECAP including real conditions of the process – the friction between the metal extruded and the die walls, as well as, the channels rounding, were done here in two scales – macro- and micro-.
