High interplanar electrical cond., chemical stability, graphene layers
Impurities must obey..
Electronegativity
Mechanical properties of ceramics
brittle, low tensile strength, high compressive strength, high hardness, low fract. toughness
Fracture Toughness formula
= Y(constant) * Stress * Sqrt(pi * a)
Stress - Strain Behaviour
Flexure test are used
Elastic behaviour is usually..
linear
E formula for beam bend test
E = (F / height diff.) * ( L^3 / 4 * B * D^3)
E formula for tube bend test
E = (F / height diff) * ( L^3 / 12 * pi * R^4)
E formula for porosity
E = E0 (E of fully dense mat.) * (1-1.9P (volume fraction of porosity) + 0.9P^2)
Flexural Strength to porosity formula
Flexural strength = σ0(const.) exp(-n(const.) P)
Frenkel Defect
cation moves place (2 cations in one, one missing)
Schottky Defect
Cation & Anion missing
