Single-crystalline InN nanorods were successfully grown on c-Al203, GaN, and Si substrates by non catalytic, template-free hydride metal-organic vapor phase
A front-tracking finite element method is used to compute the evolution of a crack-like defect that propagates along a bi-material interface by stress driven
Adhesion plays a significant role in Nanoscale interfacial friction for basically non-adhesive surfaces (no chemical bonding). The adhesion forces are composed
Wear tests were conducted using a pin-on-disk tribometer to evaluate the effect of disk track diameter on the tribological behavior. High purity alumina balls

Using the method of site-specific valence x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SSVKPS), we have experimentally determined the Ti and O partial density of occupied
Non-adhesive and water-repellent surfaces are required for many tribological applications. Wetting of patterned superhydrophobic Si surfaces is studied as a
A model for size-, load-, and velocity-dependence of friction at micro/nanoscale is proposed. During multiple-asperity contact, friction force is equal to the

The subsolidus phase equilibria involving the Bi-2223(Bi 2Sr 1.9Ca 2.1Cu 3O 10+x) phase in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system (BSCCO) were investigated at 840-850The
Secondary creep in tension was characterized by power-law functions of stress that were evaluated from load-point displacement on four-point flexure specimens
The materials community in both science and industry use crystallographic data models on a daily basis to visualize, explain, and predict the behavior of

We describe the application of statistical mechanical framework, originally developed to describe critical phenonema, to the problem of dynamic criticality
The study of adhesion, friction, and lubrication at the nanoscale is driven by the needs in niicrosystems, MEMS, and small scale devices. Reliabilitydurability
Comparisons of two technical approaches for stress measurement based on the peak shifts associated with micro-Raman spectra are described. Stress values were
The 1999 Material Research Society Fall Meeting took place in Boston Copley Plaza from November 26 to December 3. This was the first time that MRS has used the
Bench tests have been used to screen lubricants and additives for industrial fluids in machinery applications for a very long time. As technology becomes more

The abrasive machining characteristics of a glass-infiltrated dry-pressed alumina used for fabrication of all-ceramic dental crowns are investigated using a
Interface wear behavior and its effects on frictional sliding shear resistance in fiber-reinforced ceramics was studied using a SiC fiber (SCS-6) - Al 20 3
The friction of carbon has been of much interest in recent years due to its good tribological properties. These properties include high wear resistance, high
