This paper describes modeling of the micromagnetic behavior near edges of ferromagentic thin films when uniform fields are applied in plane and perpendicular to
A formalism for high-order shape functions used in finite element analysis is developed. The formalism allows the shape functions to be conveniently expressed
Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) are useful because of their excellent biocompatibility and self-hardening behavior. The setting reaction involving equimolar
Al interconnect lines, 2.6 υm wide, 0.5 υm thick, and 300 υm long, were synthesized with modified metal/passivation interfaces. The interface modifications are
Objectives: This study investigated the hypothesis that varying the acetone content of single solution dentin bonding agents may affect the adhesive layer
This paper represents a summary of a Workshop held in Gaithersburg, MD, on May 30-31, 2002, to discuss technical issues relative to the potential health issues
Objectives: In the edge chipping test, an increasing load is applied near the edge of a material until a chip is formed. Higher loads are required to form chips
Computtional materials research has made major advances over the past decade in accelerating the design, processing and performance of technologically important
The biocompatibility of dental resins is one of the fundamental requirements for effective use in the oral environment. The goals of this work are to quantify

Enamel and dentin are anisotropic materials because of their highly oriented microstructures that arises from the prismatic apatite structure of enamel and the
An experimental study of microstructures in a directionally solidified, near-eutectic solder Ag-Cu-Sn alloy has been completed. This material is an important

Beginning in 1991, the microelectronics community worldwide became increasingly aware of the possibility of being required, by law, by tax, or by market
We propose an extension to the phenomenological thermodynamic Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory to include the contribution of inhomogeneous strains caused by
Experimentally observed Frank's dislocation boundaries in fcc single crystal are analyzed using a multi-scale discrete dislocation plasticity model. It is shown
We propose that the operational local symmetries, rather than a coincidence site lattice (CSL), is important for the creation of special, low energy, grain
The five angles which are needed to characterize interfaces between two crystals are reduced to three angles for interfaces between two layer structures with
It is generally recognized that the capillary forces associated with internal and external interfaces affect both the shapes of liquid-vapor surfaces and

Crystallization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) on topographically patterned substrates is investigated. Primary nucleation was dramatically enhanced during
Most surface patterned polymer brushes synthesized to date contain only one type of polymer and the remaining surface areas are either bare substrate or SAM. To
During the 1950's and 1960's, a widespread international effort was underway to lay the foundations for a fundamental, dislocations-based understanding of

Measurements of the physical properties of materials, such as the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), in thin films and at interfaces are very important in
A steep upturn at low angles dominates the small angle neutron scattering profile of low ionic strength polyelectrolyte solutions when measurements are extended
In working with non-linear constitutive descriptions for polymer melts, it is often forgotten how difficult it is to obtain the experimental data that are
