The fracture toughness of Al/SiC nanolaminates with different layer thicknesses (in the range 10 to 100 nm) was measured by means of micropillar splitting and bending of a notched beam. The crack plane was perpendicular to the layers in the…
Using plane wave {\textit{ab-initio}} and Monte Carlo techniques, the Ni/Ni$_{3}$Al interfacial energy is studied and the results from the different techniques are critically compared. Two issues deserved special attention: the dependency…
We investigate the use of ultrafast lasers exposure to induce localized crystallization and elemental redistribution in amorphous dielectric multi-layers, composed of alternating Si3N4and SiO2layers of sub-micron thickness. Specifically,we…
Heterostructures increasingly attracted attention over the past several years to enable various optoelectronic and photonic applications. In this work, atomically thin interfaces of Ir/Al2O3 heterostructures compatible with…
Aims. We probe the effect of turbulent diffusion on the chemistry at the interface between a cold neutral medium (CNM) cloudlet and the warm neutral medium (WNM). Methods. We perform moving grid, multifluid, 1D, hydrodynamical simulations…
The thermal growth of silicon oxide films on Si in dry O2 is modelled as a dynamical system, assuming that it is basically a diffusion-reaction phenomenon. Relevant findings of the last decade are incorporated, as structure and composition…
Understanding and manipulating properties emerging at a surface or an interface require a thorough knowledge of structure-property relationships. We report a study of a prototype oxide system, La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 grown on SrTiO3(001), by…
Sampling viable 3D structures (e.g., molecules and point clouds) with SE(3)-invariance using diffusion-based models proved promising in a variety of real-world applications, wherein SE(3)-invariant properties can be naturally characterized…
To realize a chemical diffusion experiment for simple quantitative analysis of one-dimensional diffusion profiles requires the fabrication of a planar and chemically sharp interface between two phases, one serving as the diffusion source…
This work investigates the problematic diffusion of metal atoms into phase change chalcogenides, which can destroy resonances in photonic devices. Interfaces between Ge2Sb2Te5 and metal layers were studied using X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and…
Li containing transition metal oxides are known as good ionic conductors. Performing classical molecular dynamics simulations, the diffusion behavior of Li ions is investigated in crystalline and amorphous phases with the stoichiometries…

Understanding and predicting the dominant diffusion processes in Cr2O3 is essential to its optimization for anti-corrosion coatings, spintronics, and other applications. Despite significant theoretical effort in modeling defect mediated…
Interfacial charge transfer in oxide heterostructures gives rise to a rich variety of electronic and magnetic phenomena. Designing heterostructures where one of the thin-film components exhibits a metal-insulator transition opens a…
The diffusion-controlled growth and microstructural evolution at the interface of aluminide coatings and different substrates such as Ni-base superalloys and steel are reviewed. Quantitative diffusion analysis indicates that the diffusion…
Neutron irradiation tends to promote disorder in ordered alloys through the action of the thermal spikes that it generates, while simultaneously introducing point defects and defect clusters. As they migrate, these point defects will…
The ultrafast response of metals to light is governed by intriguing non-equilibrium dynamics involving the interplay of excited electrons and phonons. The coupling between them gives rise to nonlinear diffusion behavior on ultrashort…
We study using first-principles total-energy calculations, diffusion-reaction processes involved in the thermal nitridation of SiO2. We consider NO, NH, N2 and atomic N in different charge states as the nitriding species in alpha-quartz.…
The early stage of the reactive interdiffusion in the Cu-Al system was investigated at 350 {\textdegree}C and 300 {\textdegree}C thanks to in-situ transmission electron microscopy. A special care was given to find conditions where the…
Continuous films of metals like gold and silver with a thickness of a few tens of nm have poor optical transmission in the visible and infrared. However, the same films become largely transparent when the transmission is mediated by coupled…
