Point Defects and Impurities Adapted Phonon Thermal Properties of Zirconium Diboride: It's Influence on Thermal Conductivity, Thermal Expansion and Specific Heat

Creator:

Ighere, Jude Ogheneyoreme

Abstract:

The study outlined in this dissertation elucidate the thermal and structural properties of ZrB2 based ceramics as choice materials for high temperature applications. Thermal properties were investigated to improve understanding on aspects that are affected by point defects and impurities at nanoscale and electron level using a combination of lattice...
