We demonstrate by use of automated electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) the rapid growth of grains in non-passivated, sputtered Al-1Si interconnects during
The ability to image complex general three-dimensional (3D) structures, including re-entrant surfaces and undercut features using scanning probe microscopy, is
A homogenization method combining the Eshelby equivalent eigenstrain approach and the phase-field microelasticity for numerically solving the eigenstrain, is
A mathematical model, based on thermodynamics, was developed to demonstrate the substrate mechanics influences the cell morphology and migration. The mechanisms

We describe two simple tests for models of current-induced magnetization switching due to spin-transfer-torque in ferromagnetic/non-magnetic/ferromagnetic (F/N
Thin films bonded to compliant substrates often develop wrinkles when subjected to an applied or inherent compressive stress. This paper presents a bilayer
A Buckminsterfullerene ion beam has been applied to the depth profiling of an alternating pure Pt and pure Co multilayer. Quantitative depth profiling was

Subject to compression, a thin elastic film bonded to an elastic substrate can buckle. Two buckling modes have been observed. On a stiff substrate, the film
