Nanoscale metallic multilayers have been shown to have a wide range of outstanding
properties, which differ to a great extent from those observed in monolithic films. Their …

The mechanical behavior of nanolaminates is dominated by interfaces that act as sources,
barriers, and preferred sites for storage and dynamic recovery of glide dislocations. In this …

Plasticity and fracture of materials at the nanoscale levels can deviate significantly from the
same phenomena in bulk properties, which may have important implications if they are to be …

Plastic deformation mechanisms in metal–metal nanolayer composites (nanolaminates)
have been studied extensively during the last decade. It has been observed that, for the …

Ultra high strength V-graphene nanolayers were developed for the first time that was
demonstrated to have an excellent radiation tolerance as revealed by the He+ irradiation …

The formation of strain-induced martensite in AISI 201 austenitic stainless steel was followed
by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction during tensile testing. Real-time information allowed …

In this study, the evolution of dislocation densities during compressive deformation of
nanoscale Cu/Nb single crystal multilayers with individual layer thickness of 20 nm is …

Synchrotron x-ray microdiffraction (\upmu XRD μ XRD) allows characterization of a
crystalline material in small, localized volumes. Phase composition, crystal orientation and …

Abstract Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology is a promising and preferred way to realize
the reliable interconnection for 3D IC integration. The temperature changed in the processes …

Abstract Thin (< 150 µm) silicon solar cell technology is attractive due to the significant cost
reduction associated with it. Consequently, fracture mechanisms in the thin silicon solar cells …
