On the Post-peak Behaviour of Remoulded and Jointed Clay Samples During Triaxial Compression Tests

Alessio Ferrari

The note presents a selection of the results of a large experimental program conducted with the aim of characterizing the shear strength of Opalinus Clay and Speswhite Kaolin in remoulded and reconstituted conditions, through the execution of unconventiona ...

Investigation of the effect of mineral dissolution on the geomechanical behaviour of geomaterials

Taeheon Kim

Geotechnical engineering scenarios engaged in internal erosion or mineral dissolution were found worldwide, from CO2 sequestration projects to internal erosion of earth dams. Materials subjected to loss of solid phase from their internal fabric vary from s ...

Triplet grain growth in a-texture polycrystalline ZnO thin films

Cécile Hébert, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Arthur Brian Aebersold

A growth of grain triplets is identified in vapor deposited, a-texture polycrystalline zinc oxide thin films, using a combination of transmission electron microscopy-based automated crystal orientation mapping and high-resolution imaging. Each triplet cons ...

The shear strength of Opalinus Clay shale in the remoulded state

Alessio Ferrari

The Opalinus Clay shale formation is considered as a potential host geomaterial for the Swiss deep geological repository for radioactive waste. It presents different facies and it is characterised by a multi-scale heterogeneous composition, by a typical fi ...

Abnormal Grain Growth in AlScN Thin Films Induced by Complexion Formation at Crystallite Interfaces

Paul Muralt, Ramin Matloub Aghdam, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Stefan Mertin, Mohammad Fazel Parsapour Kolour, Vladimir Pashchenko

Sputter deposited Al(1-x)ScxN thin films with a Sc content from x = 0 to 43 at% are investigated by electron microscopy in order to study and explain the formation and growth of abnormally oriented grains (AOG). It is found that the latter did not nucleate ...

Crystal Orientation and Grain Size: Do They Determine Optoelectronic Properties of MAPbI(3) Perovskite?

Sandy Sanchez Alonso, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba

Growing large, oriented grains of perovskite often leads to efficient devices, but it is unclear if properties of the grains are responsible for the efficiency. Domains observed in SEM are commonly misidentified with crystallographic grains, but SEM images ...

Long-range symmetry breaking in embedded ferroelectrics

Dragan Damjanovic

The characteristic functionality of ferroelectric materials is due to the symmetry of their crystalline structure. As such, ferroelectrics lend themselves to design approaches that manipulate this structural symmetry by introducing extrinsic strain. Using ...

2018

The formation and growth of cracks by irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) in light water reactor internals is a critical issue for a safe long-term operation of nuclear power plants. The IASCC susceptibility at relatively low dose is dom ...

EPFL2018

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 ...

Springer Verlag2017

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 ...
