The piezoelectric properties of Pb(In(0.5)Nb(0.5))O(3)-Pb(Mg(1∕3)Nb(2∕3))O(3)-PbTiO(3) crystals with various engineered domain configurations were investigated. Rhombohedral and monoclinic∕orthorhombic crystals poled along their crystallographic [011] directions were found to possess macroscopic mm2 symmetry, with "2R" and "1O" domain, respectively. Crystals with the "2R" domain configuration were found to exhibit high extensional piezoelectric coefficients d(33) (∼1300 pC∕N) and d(32) (∼-1680 pC∕N), while crystals with the "1O" configuration possessed high shear coefficients d(15) (∼3500 pC∕N) and d(24) (∼2070 pC∕N), with relatively low extensional piezoelectric coefficients d(33) (∼340 pC∕N) and d(32) (∼-260 pC∕N). The observed results were explained by "polarization rotation" model, as related to their respective domain configurations.

Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) has been used as a bone replacement material due to its higher bone affinity. However, the mechanism of affinity has not been clarified. Since the 100 crystalline plane of OCP is closely involved in the biological reactions during osteogenesis, it is important to expose the 100 crystalline plane of OCP to the biological fluid to precisely measure the interfacial reactions.

The magnetic material Nd2Fe14B is one of the strongest magnetic materials found in nature. The demand for the production of these nanoparticles is significantly high due to their exceptional properties. The aim of the present study is to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles of Nd2Fe14B using ethanol in the wet ball milling technique (WBMT).

Hydrous aluminosilicates are important deep water-carriers in sediments subducting into the deep mantle. To date, it remains enigmatic how hydrous aluminosilicates withstand extremely high temperatures in the mantle transition zone. Here we systematically investigate the crystal structures and chemical compositions of typical hydrous aluminosilicates using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalyzer, and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry.
