• openAccess   In-situ laser synthesis of Nd–Al–O coatings: the role of sublattice cations in eutectic formation 

      De Francisco, Isabel María; Bea, José Antonio; Vegas, Ángel; Carda Castelló, Juan Bautista; De la Fuente, Germán F. International Union of Crystallography (2015-02)
      Neodymium aluminate coatings have been prepared in-situ by the laser zone melting (LZM) method, using a CO2 SLAB-type laser emitting at 10.6 µm. Polycrystalline Al2O3 commercial plates have been used as substrates, and ...
    • closedAccess   In-situ laser synthesis of rare earth aluminate coatings in the system Ln-Al-O (Ln = Y, Gd) 

      De Francisco, Isabel María; Lennikov, Vassili V.; Bea, José Antonio; Vegas, Ángel; Carda Castelló, Juan Bautista; De la Fuente, Germán F. Elsevier (2011)
      Laser zone melting (LZM) was employed in this work to prepare Ln-Al-O coatings on polycrystalline Al2O3 substrates, using the corresponding mixtures of powdered rare-earth oxides and Al2O3 as starting materials. In-situsynthesis ...
