Dr Dhanya Radhakrishnan, Lab Manager, Physics and Chemistry Labs and Dr Venkata Srinu Bhadram, Assistant Professor of Physics, SIAS have published a collaborative paper titled High-pressure structural stability of compositionally complex pyrochlore oxides in Journal of Applied Physics. It’s a collaborative work involving researchers at IIT Madras, Elettra (Italy), and Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences (Serbia). In this work, the researchers complex oxide ceramics remain structurally stable under extreme pressures of up to 20 gigapascals. This remarkable stability makes it promising for applications in harsh environments, such as nuclear waste immobilization, high-performance fuel cells, and heat-resistant coatings.
