Determination of the structure of y-alumina using empirical and first principle calculations combined with supporting experiments

Determination of the structure of y-alumina using empirical and first principle calculations combined with supporting experiments

Aluminas have had some form of chemical and industrial use throughout history. For little over a century corundum (α-Al2O3) has been the most widely used and known of the aluminas. The emerging metastable aluminas, including the γ, δ, η, θ, κ, β, and χ polymorphs, have been growing in importance. In...
