Yb3+ doping effects on thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of Yttrium aluminium garnet (2016)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Xu, F., Wheatley, R., Neate, N. C., & Hou, X. (2016). Yb3+ doping effects on thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of Yttrium aluminium garnet. Ceramics International, 42(12), 14228-14235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2016.06.034

Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (YAG) is an attractive candidate as thermal barrier material used for turbine blade in aero engines, due to its relatively low thermal conductivity, low oxygen diffusivity and good phase stability at high temperature. YAG has... Read More about Yb3+ doping effects on thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of Yttrium aluminium garnet.

Investigation of La3+ Doped Yb2Sn2O7 as new thermal barrier materials (2015)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Xu, F., Wheatley, R. J., Choy, K., Neate, N. C., & Hou, X. (2015). Investigation of La3+ Doped Yb2Sn2O7 as new thermal barrier materials. Materials and Design, 85, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2015.07.022

Low thermal conductivity is one of the key requirements for thermal barrier coating materials. From the consideration of crystal structure and ion radius, La3+ Doped Yb2Sn2O7 ceramics with pyrochlore crystal structures were synthesised by sol-gel met...
