Figure 1: Response to compression as a function of initial defect content. Figure 2: Response to compression as a function of strain rate. We regard the flowing metal as an open thermodynamic system ...

Researchers and industries have been using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study semiconductors' stacking and dislocation faults. This article considers the analysis of crystal structures.

It has been found that the mechanical properties of small volumes significantly differ from those of bulk volumes for a wide variety of materials. Several methods are available for increasing the ...
