Hardness estimation of complex oxide materials
نویسنده
چکیده
Hardness is too complex to be described by first principles. Based on the dielectric chemical bond theory, a semiempirical approach for the evaluation of the hardness of ionic oxide crystals has been proposed. It was applied to predict the hardness of complex crystals such as the optical crystals yttrium aluminum garnet, the LaMgAl11O19 aluminates, and the high-Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7. The calculated values were in agreement with the available experimental ones. The simplicity of the approach allows a broader class of researchers to access the method easily and to calculate the hardness of materials even using only a hand-calculator. Finally, the correlation between bond length and hardness in oxide crystals has been studied. The physical nature of the hardness of ionic crystals has been further discussed.

Influence of graphene oxide on flexural strength, modulus of elasticity and micro hardness of poly ethyl methacrylate
Background and Aim: graphene is a two-dimensional nanostructure consist of a single layer of SP2 carbon atoms that arranged by covalent bonds in a hexagonal bee web. The reinforcement by GO is due to functional groups that lead to strong interaction, dispersion and stress distribution. Due to lower mechanical properties and strength of PEMA than PMMA, we evaluate effect of GO on mechanical prop...
