Characterizing the ZrC(111)/<i>c</i>-ZrO<sub>2</sub>(111) Hetero-Ceramic Interface: First Principles DFT and Atomistic Thermodynamic Modeling

The mechanical and physical properties of zirconium carbide (ZrC) are limited to its ability to deteriorate in oxidizing environments. Low refractory oxides are typically formed as layers on ZrC surfaces when exposed to the slightest concentrations of oxygen. However, this carbide has a wide range o...
