C A. Handwerker, Frank W. Gayle
This report describes the major technical activities, accomplishments, and areas of scientific expertise in the Metallurgy Division of NIST Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory in FY2004 (October 2003 through September 2004). In this report, we

Electron Diffraction Using Transmission Electron Microscopy

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Leonid A. Bendersky, Frank W. Gayle
Electron diffraction via the transmission electron microscope is a powerful method for characterizing the structure of materials, including perfect crystals and defect structures. The advantages of electron diffraction over other methods, e.g., x-ray or

C A. Handwerker, Frank W. Gayle, Richard E. Ricker
This report describes major programs and accomplishments of the Metallurgy Division of the NIST Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) in FY2001 The mission of the NIST Metallurgy Division is to provide critical leadership in the development

High Temperature Lead-free Solder for Microelectronics

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
Frank W. Gayle, G Becka, J Badgett, G Whitten, TG Y. Pan, A Grusd, B B. Bauer, R Lathrop, J Slattery, I Anderson, J Foley, D Napp, J D. Mather, C Olson
This paper reports the result of a four-year industrial consortium effort to develop Pb-free solders for high temperature applications (up to 160 degrees c). Work included preliminary evaluation of 32 Sn-based alloys, a screening of the thermomechanical

Fatigue Resistant, High Temperature Solder

April 1, 2001
Author(s)
Frank W. Gayle
The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) High Temperature Fatigue Resistant Solder Project, carried out by a consortium of eight industrial corporation, academia and NIST, has completed its four-year program to identify and evaluate Pb-free

Thermomechanical Detwinning of Superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-x Single Crystals

July 11, 1989
Author(s)
Debra L. Kaiser, Frank W. Gayle, Robert S. Roth, L Swartzendruber
A method for the complete removal of twins from single crystals of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-x is described. The process depends on ferroelastic behavior found to exist in the phase, and should be generally applicable to the layered perovskite-type phases
