Morphological properties of strained epitaxial films are examined through a mesoscopic approach developed to incorporate both the film crystalline structure and standard continuum theory. Film surface profiles and properties, such as…

Plastic deformation of micron and sub-micron scale specimens is characterized by intermittent sequences of large strain bursts (dislocation avalanches) which are separated by regions of near-elastic loading. In the present investigation we…

We study surface and bulk properties of porous films produced by a model in which particles incide perpendicularly to a substrate, interact with deposited neighbors in its trajectory, and aggregate laterally with probability of order $a$ at…

Recent work on the dynamics of monolayers on a metallic substrate attached to a quartz oscillator has provided interesting data on kinetic friction at the microscopic level. Sliding of the film relative to the substrate is often observed…

Strained thin films of charge/orbital ordered (CO/OO) $Nd_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}MnO_3$ (NCMO) with various thickness have grown on (100)-SrTiO$_3$ and (100)-LaAlO$_3$ substrates, by using the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique. The thickness of…

Morphological instability of a planar surface ([111], [011], or [001]) of an ultra-thin metal film is studied in a parameter space formed by three major effects (the quantum size effect, the surface energy anisotropy and the surface stress)…

Amorphous silicon films prepared by electron beam evaporation have systematically and substantially greater atomic density for higher thickness, higher growth temperature, and slower deposition rate, reaching the density of crystalline Si…

Mesoscopic-scale stacking reconfigurations are investigated when van der Waals films are stacked. We have developed a method to visualize complicated stacking structures and mechanical distortions simultaneously in stacked atom-thick films…

We compare the dispersion relations for spinodally dewetting thin liquid films for increasing magnitude of interfacial slip length in the lubrication limit. While the shape of the dispersion relation, in particular the position of the…

We develop a general incremental framework for hyperelastic solids whose surfaces exhibit both stretch-dependent and curvature-dependent elastic behavior. Building upon a variational formulation of curvature-dependent surface elasticity, we…

Plastic deformation in microscale differs from the macroscopic plasticity in two respects: (i) the flow stress of small samples depends on their size (ii) the scatter of plasticity increases significantly. In this work we focus on the…

The rupture of a liquid film due to co-flowing turbulent shear flows in the gas phase is studied using a volume-of-fluid method. To simulate this multiphase problem, we use a simplified numerical setup where the liquid film is 'sandwiched'…

Predicting the behaviour of complex systems is one of the main goals of science. An important example is plastic deformation of micron-scale crystals, a process mediated by collective dynamics of dislocations, manifested as broadly…

Nanostructured films obtained by the assembling of preformed atomic clusters are of strategic importance for a wide variety of applications. The deposition of clusters produced in the gas phase onto a substrate offers the possibility to…

We study the temporal growth pattern of surface fluctuations on a series of spinodally unstable polymer films where the degree of instability is controlled by the film thickness. For films in the deep spinodal region, the growth rate…

A continuum dynamical model is developed to determine the morphological and compositional instabilities on the free surface of heteroepitaxial alloy films in the absence of growth. We use linear stability analysis to study the early…

If carbon fibre layers are prevented from slipping over one another as they consolidate onto a non-trivial geometry, they can be particularly susceptible to wrinkling/buckling instabilities. A one dimensional model for wrinkling during…

Nanoindentation is a widely used method for sensitive exploration of the mechanical properties of micromechanical systems. We derived an empirical analysis technique to extract stress-strain field gradient and divergence representations…

This paper is motivated by the complex blister patterns sometimes seen in thin elastic films on thick, compliant substrates. These patterns are often induced by an elastic misfit which compresses the film. Blistering permits the film to…

A weak fluctuating magnetic field embedded into a turbulent conducting medium grows exponentially while its characteristic scale decays. In the ISM and protogalactic plasmas, the magnetic Pr is very large, so a broad spectrum of growing…
