Oxide Dispersed Strengthened (ODS) ferritic stainless steels present well-known fine grains microstructures where dislocation movement is hindered by a dense precipitation of nano-oxides particles. Previous research, on the thermomechanical behavior at hig ...
Transparent alumina is often processed with sintering additives such as, Y, La, and Mg, in order to limit its grain growth at high sintering temperatures. Usually, these additives segregate to the grain boundaries due to their larger cationic size than Al ...
Photoactivation ('uncaging') is a powerful approach for releasing bioactive small molecules in living cells. Current uncaging methods are limited by the random distribution of caged molecules within cells. We have developed a mitochondria-specific photoact ...
Formation and mobility of domain walls in ferroelectric materials is responsible for many of their electrical and mechanical properties. Domain wall continuity across grain boundaries has been observed since the 1950's and is speculated to affect the grain ...
This paper investigated the property evolutions of Mo thin films that were subjected to post-sputtering heat treatments from 700 degrees C to 1100 degrees C. It was found that, after annealing, the use of Si wafers eliminated crack formations found in prev ...
We implement the C-shaped sample test method and micro-cantilever beam testing to measure the local strength of microscopic, low-aspect-ratio ceramic particles, namely high purity vapor grown a-alumina Sumicorundum (R) particles 15-30 mu m in diameter, kno ...
BACKGROUND Genetic information is becoming more easily available, and rapid progress is being made in developing methods of illuminating issues of interest. Mendelian randomisation makes it possible to study causes of disease using observational data. The ...
The study addresses the degradation of Indole under low intensity solar simulated light. The first evidence is presented for sputtered films degrading Indole at the solid-air interface. The co-sputtering of FeOx-TiO2 on polyethylene (PE) leads to an accele ...
We investigate the size distribution of damage clusters in concrete under uniaxial tension loading conditions. Using the finite-element method, the concrete is modeled at the mesoscale by a random distribution of elastic spherical aggregates within an elas ...
Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...
