The fuel for a nuclear fission reactor is very different, usually consisting of a low-enriched oxide material (e.g. UO2).
His three-step process aimed at producing heat-resistant blocks from such oxide materials as zirconia, thoria or tantalia.
This means that the transferred oxide material will instantly act as a penetrating body and the concentration of energy, pressure and frictional heating is immediate.
Rao was one of the earliest to synthesize two-dimensional oxide materials such as LaCuO.
However, demand for emery has decreased with the development of sintered carbide and oxide materials as abrasives.
The adsorbates are situated on the oxide material.
Though oxide materials are the oldest known glass forming systems it has become more traditional to treat them separately from more recently discovered chalcogenide compounds.
The structure of this material is closely related to some superconducting oxide materials.
Carroll's thesis examined the thermodynamics of charged defects in complex oxide materials.
These coatings are thin ceramic coatings (several hundred micrometers) usually based on oxide materials.
