Integrated computational and experimental investigation of Groups V and VI metals in (M,Hf,Ti,Zr)B2-(M,Hf,Ti,Zr)C ceramics

Journal Article Journal of the European Ceramic Society · February 1, 2026 Dual-phase compositionally complex ultra-high temperature ceramics were formulated by incorporating different Groups V and VI metals such as V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, or W into a base composition containing the Group IV elements, Hf, Ti, and Zr. Metal distributio ... Full text Cite

Soliquidy: a descriptor for atomic geometrical confusion

Journal Article Npj Computational Materials · December 1, 2025 Tailoring material properties often requires understanding the solidification process. Herein, we introduce the geometric descriptor Soliquidy, which numerically captures the Euclidean transport cost between the translationally disordered versus ordered st ... Full text Cite

Variable-Temperature Plasmonic High-Entropy Carbides

Journal Article High Entropy Alloys and Materials · December 1, 2025 Effective thermal management at variable and extreme temperatures face limitations for the development of novel energy and aerospace applications. Plasmonic approaches, shown to be capable of tailoring black-body emission, could be effective if materials w ... Full text Cite
