Introducing the Zigzag IntermetAllic (ZIA) phases: A new class of nanostructured materials

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

With a warm heart, I would like to share with the materials science community our newest preprint on introduction of the "ZIA phases". The ZIA phases further elaborate upon the notion of nanolaminated crystalline solids, extending it significantly beyond the MAX phases lineage of initial transition metal carbides/nitrides. This expansion is highly likely to widen … Continue reading Introducing the Zigzag IntermetAllic (ZIA) phases: A new class of nanostructured materials
