The first high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) cross-section images of flexible electrodes fabricated by gold ion implantation at 5 keV into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are presented. A TEM sample preparation method based on cryoultramicr ...
Monodispersed Pd nanoparticles (8, 11, and 13 nm in iameter) as confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy were prepared via the reverse microemulsion method and deposited on structured supports consisting of carbon nanofibers (CNF) grow ...
Designing microstructure for damage tolerance requires a detailed understanding of how an advancing crack interacts with the microstructure (and sometimes modifies it locally) at multiple length scales. Advances in experimental techniques, such as the avai ...
Focused Electron Beam Induced Deposition (FEBID) is a rapid prototyping technique for the investigation, production and modification of 2 and 3-D nanostructures. The process takes place at room temperature, in the high-vacuum chamber of a Scanning Electron ...
Sample preparation and scanning electron microscopy imaging methods were developed to characterize solid-oxide fuel cell anodes made out of a nickel- yttria-stabilized zirconia porous cermet. The sample preparation uses only tripod polishing and does not r ...
DNA is a long polymer with the form of a double helix of about two nanometers diameter (2.10-9 meters). It is composed of nucleotides whose sequence carries the information of heredity. The four possible nucleotides have slightly different geometries, and ...
A fairly simple experimental setup has been designed for testing the resistance of the mushy zone of alloys during solidification under tensile conditions. It has been used to study the effect of coalescence among the solid grains at a late stage of solidi ...
structural defects induced by He implantation in GaN epilayer at high fluence (1 X 10(17) He/cm(2)) and elevated temperature (750 degrees C) have been studied by conventional and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. In addition to the planar i ...
Nanometer-thick platinum silicide films were obtained by solid-state thermal reaction films in the presence of an interfacial native silicon oxide layer. They were studied using High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and selected-area ele ...
During cold forming processes materials are subjected to non-monotonic complex multiaxial loadings. To obtain complex shapes at low temperature requires the use of particularly ductile materials. The damage behaviour of two ductile steels is studied here a ...
