  2. Aluminium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxide

    Aluminium oxide is used for its hardness and strength. Its naturally occurring form, corundum, is a 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness (just below diamond). It is widely used as an abrasive, including as a much less expensive substitute for industrial diamond. Many types of sandpaper use aluminium oxide crystals.

  3. Curium(III) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curium(III)_oxide

    The body-centered cubic and monoclinic forms are the most common polymorphic forms of curium trioxide, produced by the chemical reactions detailed above. Their crystalline structures are very similar. One of the polymorphs of curium trioxide - the body-centered cubic form - spontaneously transforms to the hexagonal form after several weeks. [8]

    It sometimes could be found on Luftwaffe aircraft also fitted with another engine-boost system, MW 50, a form of water injection for aviation engines that used methanol for its boost capabilities. One of the major problems of nitrous oxide oxidant in a reciprocating engine is excessive power: if the mechanical structure of the engine is not ...

  9. Magnesium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_oxide

    While "magnesium oxide" normally refers to MgO, the compound magnesium peroxide MgO 2 is also known. According to evolutionary crystal structure prediction, [11] MgO 2 is thermodynamically stable at pressures above 116 GPa (gigapascals), and a semiconducting suboxide Mg 3 O 2 is thermodynamically stable above 500 GPa. Because of its stability ...
