Study on electro-mechanical behaviour of KNN ceramics published in Scientific Reports

Category: Allgemein 31. March 2016

Inverted electro-mechanical behaviour induced by the irreversible domain configuration transformation in (K,Na)NbO3-based ceramics Miniaturization of domains to the nanometer scale has been previously reported in many piezoelectrics with two-phase coexistence. Despite the observation of n...

Nacre forms by Nonclassical Crystallization

Category: Allgemein, Biomimetics 12. December 2015

An international research team with Prof. S. E. Wolf from Friedrich-Alexander-University and Dr. R. Hovden, Prof. Muller and Prof. L. Estroff from Cornell University demonstrated for the first time that nacre, in the species of the Noble Fan Shell Pinna nobilis, forms by a particle-driven crystall...

WW3 Research on Crystal Lattice Tilting featured on CrystEngComm Cover

Category: Allgemein, Biomimetics 12. January 2015

Recent Research, lead by Prof. SE Wolf and Dr. J. Harris revealed that crystal lattice tilting, which hardens calcarous mollusk shells, can by generated in vitro by a pseudomorphic phase transformation of a thin, amorphous film of calcium carbonate generated at the air/water-interface. Under pro...
