In transport experiments, the quantum nature of matter becomes directly evident when changes in conductance occur only in discrete steps1, with a size determined solely by Planck's constant h. Observations of quantized steps in electrical conductance2,3 ha ...
This work consists in an experimental study of the main parameters governing the transport of heat across an interface between two solids, when it is dominated by phonons. The main experimental tool used is Time-Domain ThermoReflectance (TDTR), which is an ...
Objective To miniaturize the loaded implant model to permit its application to small rodents. In this model, two titanium implants are placed 8 mm apart with their heads protruding from the skin and are forced together by a dedicated actuator. To assess th ...
Purpose. To assess the effect of external mechanical microstimuli of controlled magnitude on the microarchitecture of the peri-implant bone beds in rat tibiae. Materials and Methods. Tibiae of forty rats were fitted with two transcutaneous titanium cylinde ...
Implanted rat bones play a key role in studies involving fracture healing, bone diseases or drugs delivery among other themes. In most of these studies the implants integration also depends on the animal daily activity and musculoskeletal loads, which affe ...
Fretting-corrosion is a material degradation process resulting from the combined action of a corrosive environment and small displacement fretting wear. In this work, the fretting-corrosion behavior of Ti-12.5Mo, Ti-13Nb-13Zr, and Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr, beta ...
The mechanical and electrical properties of nanocomposites created by gold and titanium implantation into Polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) are reported for doses from 1015 at/cm2 to 5x1016 at/cm2, and for ion energies of 2.5 keV, 5 keV and 10 keV. TEM cross-sect ...
In this work, the tribocorrosion behavior of Ti-12.5Mo, Ti-13Nb-13Zr and Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr beta titanium alloys which are candidate biomaterials for joint prostheses is studied against ultra high molecular weight polyethylene in Hank's balanced salt solut ...
In this work the technology and characterization of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films directly grown on InAlN/GaN HEMTs is presented. Optimization of GaN based HEMT process steps including metallization stacks is discussed. A fully processed InAlN/GaN HE ...
The effect of an Al2O3 interlayer on the thermal conductance of metal (Al)/non-metal (diamond and silicon) interfaces is investigated using Time Domain ThermoReflectance (TDTR). Interlayers between 1.7 and 20nm are deposited on oxygen-terminated diamond an ...
