The electronic structure and optical properties in tetragonal ceramics PbTiO3 are studied by using full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method in density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) by WIEN2K package. The theoretical calculated optical properties and energy loss (EEL) spectrum yield a static refractive index of 2.59 and a plasmo...

In this study, the effect of different amounts of Y2O3 on the properties of mullite-zirconia composites was investigated. For this purpose, these composites were fabricated by reaction-sintering of alumina and zircon as raw materials. Besides, the slip casting method was used for forming these composites, and sintering process was carried out at 1600 °C. Then, the physical and mechanical pro...
