A 3D finite element model is constructed to simulate the local impact and its aftermath.For a given design of the disk structure with known elastic/plastic and damage properties as well as the slider s design with its surface texture, the model predicts
Through detection of valence photoelectrons, the technique of x-ray standing waves directly measured the charge asymmetry of the GaAs valence band. Using the back-reflection geometry for the (111) and (111) diffraction planes, we determine from the

Polarization dependent x-ray absorption fine structure measurements performed at the Ti K edge together with x-ray diffraction have been used to study the local structure in SrTiO3 thin films grown epitaxially on Si(001). SrTiO3 layers on Si(001) are found

Doping large bandgap semiconductors is typically done in order to enhance photocatalytic, photovoltaic and other chemical and optoelectronic properties. The identification of dopant position and its local environment is essential to exploring the doping

The adherence of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is dependent on mechanical interlocking at the interface between the ceramic top coat and the underlying metallic bond coat. A rough bond coat surface is required in order to establish
The use of long wavelength UV irradiation (320 to 390 nm) to induce bonding of a perffluoropolyether (PFPEP on CNx disks has been successfully demonstrated. Disks with 100 % mobile molecules, 100% bonded molecules, and a 50:50 mixture of mobile and bonded

Chemical bath deposited PbSe films were subjected to post-deposition treatment with aqueous (typically 0.25 - 0.5 M) KOH. For films deposited using a citrate complex, this treatment resulted in dissolution of surface lead oxides (seen from XPS and EXAFS
A technique has been developed to characterize the elastic modulus of zirconium oxide-8% yttrium oxide plasma sprayed deposits. A commercial hardness indenter has been modified to record load-displacement as a spherical ball is elastically loaded onto the

A polycrystalline Pt thin film deposited on a cut Si single crystal wafer coated with SiO2 and a TiO2 adhesion layer was studied using automated electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Integration of the EBSD detector and a scanning electron microscope

Non-180 domain wall movement, which makes a large contribution to the piezoelectric response of ferroelectric bulk materials, were found to be much more difficult in epitaxial films, because of substrate clamping and inter-domain pinning. Through

Three tests: (1) dynamic fatigue; (2) flexure strength, and (3) direct, double-cantilever beam stress intensity-crack velocity measurements carried out in air (22 C) and liquid nitrogen (-196 C) all showed that dense sintered AlN undergoes slow crack
In glasses that contain mobile alkali ions, an ion exchange between protons or hydronium ions in the surrounding aqueous liquid and alkali ions in the glass causes a surface stress to develop in the glass. These surface stresses are responsible for
