Ferroelastic switching in yttria stabilized zirconia: A molecular dynamics study
I am happy to share our newest open access article which is published in Computational Materials Science. For the first time, we were able to create the t’ phase of yttria stabilized zirconia from its cubic phase through the process of rapid quenching by utilizing molecular dynamics simulations. The simulation of quenching process followed the experimental procedure, and the results of virtual XRD and RDF were comparable to the actual experiments, verifying the created phases.
