Gravitational Effects on Mercuric Iodide Crystal Growth

Author(s)
B W. Steiner, L van den Berg, U Laor
Gravity can affect the physical vapor growth of mercuric iodide in two distinct ways. First, gravity will induce convection during growth, which strongly mixes

Spontaneous Ejecta From [Beta]-Eucryptite Composites

Author(s)
Ivar E. Reimanis, C Seick, K Fitzpatrick, Lin-Sien H. Lum, S Landin
Polycrystalline ceramic composites, comprised of primarily b-eucryptite (LiAlSiO4) and lithium aluminate (LiAl5O8) crystals, with a near-zero coefficient of

Instability of Adhesion Force Between Rough Surfaces

Author(s)
Michael Nosonovsky, Seung H. Yang, Huan Zhang
Adhesion force has a significant effect upon the contact of rough surfaces with nanoscale asperities. The dominant component of the adhesion force is the

Phase Equilibria Diagrams - Volume XIII: Oxides

Author(s)
Robert S. Roth
This volume is the thirteenth of the topically-oriented series of phase diagram compilations and the eighth to appear since the National Institute of Standards

Experts Evaluate Pulsed Laser Deposition Technology

Author(s)
John W. Hastie, D W. Bonnell, D Chrissey
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, Gaithersburg, MD) and The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL, Washington, DC) jointly hosted a workshop

How Standards Help Bring New Materials to the Market

Author(s)
Stephen W. Freiman, George D. Quinn
This paper attempts to describe the importance of standards in helping to bring new materials to the market place. Using ceramic materials as an example, the

Rapid Detection of Thin-Film Interfacial Reactions by MEMS-DSC

Author(s)
Lawrence P. Cook, Richard E. Cavicchi, Yanbao Zhang, Mark D. Vaudin, Christopher B. Montgomery, William F. Egelhoff Jr., Martin L. Green, Leslie Allen
A MEMS-based differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) has been used to characterize the Ni/Si interfacial reaction in thin films at ramp rates of 940 C/s and

Controlled Synthesis of Single-Crystalline InN Nanorods

Author(s)
Igor Levin, Albert Davydov, O M. Kryliouk, Hyun Jong Park, YongSun Won, T J. Anderson, J P. Kim, J A. Freitas
Single-crystalline InN nanorods were successfully grown on c-Al203, GaN, and Si substrates by non catalytic, template-free hydride metal-organic vapor phase

Nanotribology: the Link to Macrotribology

Author(s)
Stephen M. Hsu
The study of adhesion, friction, and lubrication at the nanoscale is driven by the needs in niicrosystems, MEMS, and small scale devices. Reliabilitydurability
