Two-dimensional, microstructure-based finite element simulations were used to elucidate the influence of grain orientation configuration on the thermal-elastic response of polycrystalline ceramic materials. Two minerals found predominately in marbles
As material structures and devices build from them shrink to the nano-scale, it is ever more difficult to measure accurately mechanical properties and behavior. Such mechanical properties data are needed for designing small-scale devices and for assessing
Experimental and theoretical study of wetting properties of patterned Si surfaces with cylindrical flat-top pillars of various sizes and pitch distances is presented. The values of the contact angle (CA), contact angle hysteresis (CAH) and tilt angle (TA)
During the track accessing mode ofa hard disk drive, theflying height of the slider over thedisk surface becomes smaller and smaller as the demand in data storage density increases. As aresult, the propensity of glide avalanche is bound to increase when

Interactions between a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) and a photo-resist can critically impact lithographic patterns. For example, a lithographic pattern can shrink or spread near a BARC interface, a process called undercutting or footing

The etiology of aseptic loosening (AL) following total joint replacement arthroplasty remains unclear, but the generation of small wear particles from the prosthetic components is known to contribute to the pathology of AL. These particles stimulate local

Experimental observations of the creep response of a Y 20 3-fluxed Si 3N 4 containing secondary crystalline phases(SP)are presented.The widths of grain-boundary amorphous films before and after creep have been characterized by using transmission electron

The complex void microstructure of thermally sprayed deposits may be approximated by three major void syste(interlamellar pores, intralamellar cracks, and volumetric globular voids), each with different volume fractions,anisotropies, sizes and shapes. This

An accelerated wear test pro-cedure has been developed for wear screening of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) using a new wear tester. Results showed that the test procedure was able to discriminate known wear level samples within seven

The relaxation of the surface P atoms, for both the clean and Bi covered GaP (110) surface, was studied with X-Ray Standing Wave Spectroscopy (XSW) using surface sensitive x-ray photoelectron as the XSW modulated signal. The photoemission signal of the

The local structural information around the germanium atom in boron doped SiGe alloys is important in understanding the dopant diffusion mechanisms. Epitaxial SiGe test structures with B and C markers were grown on Si substrates by using rapid thermal
Nanopores in 2D materials are highly desirable for DNA sequencing, yet achieving single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) transport through them is challenging. Using density functional theory calculations and molecular dynamics simulations we show that ssDNA transport
