We utilize chemically patterned substrates with arrays of progressively narrower stripes (1-15 mm) to investigate the influence of pattern size on the...
In this article, we discuss creep deformation as it relates to thin films and multilayer foils. We begin by reviewing experimental techniques for studying creep...

Spent fuel rods removed from reactor cores are loaded under water into steel casks, which are then removed from the water, vacuum dried, and welded closed for...
The physicochemical and mechanical properties of two calcium phosphate carbonate cements (CPCC-1 and CPCC-2) formed in solution reaction of (1) [alpha]...
There are several phenomenological damping formulations currently in use in the literature. Beyond the Landau-Lifshitz equation (LL) and the Bloch-Bloembergen...
Truly widespread application of ceramics in dental practice (along with major esthetic improvements) awaited two important structural innovations that did not...

A series of smooth Fe-Pt thin film alloys have been grown by electrodeposition at potentials positive to that required to deposit elemental Fe. XRD of 100 nm...
We consider what is, perhaps, martensite's greatest crystallographic problem: ferrous martensites with a habit plane p near (225)f, or viewed more recently as...

In this paper, the failure behavior of glass fiber microcomposites is investigated. E-glass fibers treated with an epoxy compatible sizing were embedded in a...
Bakhuis Roozeboom's Die Heterogenen Gleichgewichte vom Standpunkte der Phasenlehre was a monumental work that established and taught many fundamental principles...
An atomic force microscope (AFM) is used to measure the force on a quartz rod as the rod is pulled from an air/fluid interface. The rod is pulled into the...

In this paper, we discuss the structural design including the materials, junction areas, and magnetic layers thicknesses, and various noise sources including...
he performance of novel Ge/Cu/Ti metallization scheme on n-type GaN has been investigated for obtaining thermally and electrically stable low resistance ohmic...
This paper derives expressions for the overall average elastic constants and thermal expansion coefficients of a polycrystal in terms of its single crystal...

We report transport properties measurements of individual GaN nanowire field effect transistors and the correlation of the electron mobilities with the...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed its four-year investigation of the World Trade Center disaster. The investigation...
A model of ferromagnetic resonance in inhomogeneous films is described that includes interactions in a mean-field approximation. The mean-field model yields...
Self-hardening calcium phosphate cements (CPC) have been the subject of considerable interest in biomaterials research, especially as a bone graft material. The...
Significant crystallization is observed via atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction in spin-cast polymer thin films with thickness ranging from 5 microns...
Our field, solid-sold phase transformations, grew out of ancient crafts with their own paradigms. The creation of new paradigms has been a slow process with...
We review our recent theoretical and simulation work on dynamical heterogeneity and correlated particle motion in glass-forming liquids and polymers. We...
The crystallography program at the American Dental Association Health Foundation, Paffenbarger Research Center, National Institute of Standards and Technology...
A novel in situ TEM sample geometry has been developed for the controlled deformation and fracture of brittle and semi-brittle materials inside the TEM. It...
