Silicon-based ceramics such as silicon nitride can be very effectively lubricated by water under certain conditions (1-3). After a wear-in period a condition of very low friction coefficient (

This work addresses current limitations of X-ray reflectometry (XRR) for modeling thin films and provides a basis for their improvement. Better accuracy in the characterization of novel thin film structures requires better model selection techniques and

The electronic structure of Si-doped InyGa1-yAs1-xNx films on GaAs substrates, grown bynitrogen-plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy, was examined by photoreflectance PR spectroscopy at temperatures between 20 and 300 K. The films were approximately 0.5

Micro silicon carbide tension specimen were prepared with straight, curved, and notched gage lengths. These were tested to failure and the strengths analyzed by Weibull statistics. Fractographic analysis confirmed that strength limiting flaws were etch
A study is made of radial crack evolution in curved brittle layers on compliant support substrates. Three-dimensional boundary element analysis (BEA) is used to compute the stepwise growth of radial cracks that initiate at the bottom surfaces of glass on
