Fabrication of Layered SiC/C/Si/MeSi/Me Ceramic-Metal Composites via Liquid Silicon Infiltration of Metal-Carbon Matrices.

The growing demand for composite materials capable of enduring prolonged loads in high-temperature and aggressive environments presents pressing challenges for materials scientists. Ceramic materials composed of silicon carbide largely possess high mechanical strength at a relatively low density, even at elevated temperatures. However, they are inherently brittle in nature, leading to concerns about their ability to fracture.

Oxygen doping of HTSC and resistive switching in HTSC-based heterostructures.

The studies of the bipolar resistive switching effect in thin film heterojunctions (YBa2Cu3O7-δ /Ag) and (Nd 2-x Ce x CuO4-y /Ag) have exhibited the role of oxygen as a doping element in hole- and electron-doped HTSC compounds.
