C A. Handwerker, E E. de Kluizenaar, K Suganuma, Frank W. Gayle
Beginning in 1991, the microelectronics community worldwide became increasingly aware of the possibility of being required, by law, by tax, or by market

Special Grain Boundaries Based on Local Symmetries

Author(s)
Leonid A. Bendersky, John W. Cahn
We propose that the operational local symmetries, rather than a coincidence site lattice (CSL), is important for the creation of special, low energy, grain

Surfaces, Interfaces, and Changing Shapes

Author(s)
Daniel Josell, F Spaepen
It is generally recognized that the capillary forces associated with internal and external interfaces affect both the shapes of liquid-vapor surfaces and

Preface to Dislocatrions 2000 Proceedings

Author(s)
Lyle E. Levine, L -. Kubin, R -. Becker
During the 1950's and 1960's, a widespread international effort was underway to lay the foundations for a fundamental, dislocations-based understanding of

Slip Bands in Deforming Metals

Author(s)
R M. Thomson, Lyle E. Levine, M Savage
It is proposed that a deforming solid is composed of two types of deforming regions: regions of percolating slip (slip bands) and regions of non percolating

Anomalous Relaxation in Entropic Colloidal Gels

Author(s)
Erik K. Hobbie, A D. Stewart
Brownian motion in depletion-force networks is studied with video microscopy in confined nearly hard-sphere mixtures. The particle trajectories show anomalous
