The local interfacial structure and bonding at the rhombohedral twin interface in α-Al 2 O 3 (corundum) was studied by means of first-principles electronic-structure calculations based on the local density functional theory. Two sets of geometrical interface models were selected, one with a terminat

The composition and mode of attachment of Cu(II) complexes at the ␥-Al 2 O 3 -water interface in suspensions containing a simple amino acid (glutamate) were characterized with EXAFS and FTIR spectroscopies. The spectroscopic results indicate that two types of Cu(II)-glutamate-alumina interactions ar
The energetics of substitutional cation impurities in the bulk volume and at the ⌺7 (1 ¯012) rhombohedral twin boundary in alumina (α-Al 2 O 3 ) were studied by means of ab-initio mixed-basis pseudopotential calculations based on the local density functional theory. For fifteen different substitutio
Wetting behavior at the Al/a-Al 2 O 3 liquid/solid interface is closely correlated with oxygen-induced structural changes at the interface. However, direct experimental evidence for the possible interfacial modifications has been rare. In the present study in situ high-resolution electron microscopy
