A new scanning capacitance microscope (SCM) mode was implemented by using an atomic force microscope (AFM) operated in intermittent contact and by measuring the...
In this article we review the nature and mechanics of damage induced in ceramics by spherical indenters, from the classical studies of Hertz over a century ago...

The far infrared spectrum of HOC1 has been recorded at high resolution between 20 and 360 cm-1 by means of Fourier transform spectroscopy, and it was possible...
Microdevices produced by machining silicon can offer a variety of control functionality on a miniature scale, 1.2 with general advantages connected to not only...

We have determined the nonlinear ultrasonic parameter Β and the ultrasonic longitudinal phase velocity {upsilion}L for a series of martensitic steel specimens...
The temperature dependence of the terahertz (THz) output power and spectra from biased photoconductive switches was measured for several antenna gap widths and...
When a Ne:PF 5 or a Ne:PF 3 is codeposited a 5 K with a beam of neon atoms that have been excited in a microwave discharge, the infrared spectrum of the...

Arrays of magnetic nanowires are fabricated by using a corrugated surface, produced by chromium atoms laser-focused in a one-dimensional standing wave, as a...
Monte Carlo simulations of the growth of Co/Cu(100) in the presence of steps, terraces, and kinks were performed. The beginning stages of Co growth enhance the...

The influence of toughener concentration on the fracture behavior of two-phase, rubber toughened epoxy is studied. To vary the concentration without altering...
Femtosecond pump-probe near-field photoconductivity is used to investigate the time response of surface impurities on a GaAsP diffusion type photodiode. At the...
