Series of Srn(Nb,Ti) nO 3n+2 structures with n=4,4.5,5,6 and 7 were studies by transmission electron microscopy. These structures are composed of inifite two
Experiments utilizing the creep properties of multilayer thin films to determine underlying free energies are presented with essential theory. A new technique
Craze growth has been studied as a function of time after a quench (physical aging) at four different temperatures between 22 degrees C and 60 degrees C. A
By extrapolation, we estimated cementite's elastic constants. Altogether, we studied seven Fe-C binary alloys varying from 0 to 17.3 atomic percent carbon. Thus
Low temperature properties of B2-type solid solutions have been measured in the quasi-binary systems Zr(Ru,Rh) and Zr (Ru,Pd). A continuous transition from
The experimental thermochemical and phase diagram data for the Co-Mo system were assessed. A consistent thermodynamic description, using a Redlich-Kister model
Investigations of anaerobic corrosion of iron over the past years have led to a number of conclusions regarding the mechanisms. In addition several unusual
Non-destructively monitoring of the properties in a thin film or layered material (coatings, adhesives, etc.) is a difficult challenge, and yet there are many
A commercial electronic packaging material (EPM), based on a silica-filled cresol-novolac epoxy, was fabricated into a 0.4 mm sheet, using methods mimicking
Depletion driven aggregation in binary colloidal mixtures is studied via the time evolution of the cluster-size distribution and structure factor as the
The anodic dissolution of an ultrathin cobalt film buried beneath a copper overlayer has been studied using voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The films were
Solid state proton NMR methods are used to probe the intimacy of mixing in materials relevant to photoresist applications. Bulk blends, made solvent casting
An atomistic mechanism is proposed for the creation of structural anisotropy and consequent large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in vapor deposited films of
A non-destructive infrared (IR) spectroscopy assay to measure hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) in surface-adsorbed protein monolayers has been developed. The
Junctions of four domain walls (quadrijunctions) are shown to be stable in Ising-type ordering models with weak first and strong second neighbor interactions
The determination of the specific heat capacity and electrical resistivity of Inconel 718, Ti-6Al-4V, and CF8M stainless steel, from room temperature to near
Using acoustic-resonance spectroscopy (with only two point contacts with the specimen), we measured both the real and imaginary parts of the elastic-stiffness

Thermal annealing is an important process to enhance greatly the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). MTJ annealing is
Wetting of superhydrophobic surfaces is studied as a multiscale process involving the macroscale (water droplet size), microscale (surface texture size), and
The nature of the structural ordering within semi-crystalline poly(3-dodecylthiophene) films has been analyzed using a Warren-Averbach line-shape analysis which
Current edge-chip material testing procedures involve applying an increasing perpendicular force near a specimen edge until a chip forms. In this report, the

Electroanalytical measurements and feature filling experiments have been conducted to study the effect of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) and branched
Nondesctructively monitoring the mechanical properties of films, coatings, or layered materials (paints, adhesives, laminates, etc.) is a difficult challenge
This article discusses the dominant Pb-free alloy system used worldwide and its assembly behavior when Pb-free and Sn-Pb alloys and processes are mixed and the
An experimental method is described for performing thermomechanical fatigue testing of thin films and interconnects on substrates. The method used alternating
