Titanium silicate minerals encompass a diverse class of compounds in which titanium occupies coordination environments that can functionally substitute for silicon in the silicate framework. The ...
Bombarding a crystal with neutrons reveals a quantum quirk that frustrates heat transfer. The crystalline solid BaTiS 3 (barium titanium sulfide) is terrible at conducting heat, and it turns out that ...
ACCORDING to the theory of Burton, Cabrera and Frank 1, crystals can only grow at supersaturations too low for two-dimensional nucleation, when dislocations are present. Where a screw dislocation ...
