(Nanowerk News) Similar to the widespread interest in graphite and diamond, there is growing interest in metastable phases, which have different physical properties than those of stable phases.

Various metastable structures are usually found in the phase diagram of most materials. Some structures can only exist under high temperature or high pressure conditions, while others have not yet ...

Because of its feature size of smaller than 10nm, ultrathin metal nanostructures have favourable properties different from bulk metals and regular metallic nanostructures. They have been regarded as a ...

Developed an important process to secure source technology for advanced alloy material development. Developed an advanced metal hydride material in the metastable phase, suggested a growth mechanism, ...
