Ring, Terry Arthur | Growth kinetics of hexagonal sub-micrometric β-tricalcium phosphate particles in ethylene glycol | Recently, uniform, non-agglomerated, hexagonal b-tricalcium phosphate (b-TCP) platelets (diameter 400-1700 nm, h 100-200 nm) were obtained at fairly moderate temperatures (90-170 C) by precipitation in ethylene glycol. Unfortunately, the platelet aspect ratios (diameter/thickness) obtained in the ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Shurtleff, James Kevin | Heterostructures in GaInP grown using a change in Te doping | In organometallic vapor phase epitaxy, changes in growth conditions can be used to modulate the extent of CuPt ordering and, hence, the band gap energy of GaInP. One method is to add Te during growth. An increase in the band gap energy of 0.1 eV due to a decrease in ordering has been obtained by ... | Heterostructures; Alloys | 2000 |

Lighty, Joann; Sarofim, Adel F. | Carbon dioxide effects on metal vaporization during coal combustion | Coal combustion products may take one of two forms. Residual ash (> 1 micron) is formed by particle shrinkage and breaking during combustion. Some material will vaporize and later recondense.
