The dielectric properties of NiO thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition have been studied as a function of strain at temperature from 10 to 300 K. Above 150 K, the contribution of space-charge polarization to the dielectric…
We introduce a new nanoindentation method to continuously measure the hardness while sweeping through orders of magnitudes of strain rates within a single experiment. While nanoindentation already allows the determination of the strain rate…
Investigation on oxidation resistance of two-dimensional (2D) materials is critical for many of their applications, because 2D materials could have higher oxidation kinetics than their bulk counterparts due to predominant surface atoms and…
Sharp nanoscale tips on metal surfaces of electrodes enhance locally applied electric fields. Strongly enhanced electric fields trigger electron field emission and atom evaporation from the apexes of the nanotips. Combined together, these…
Order(N) Tight-Binding Molecular Dynamics (TBMD) simulations are performed to investigate the thermal stability of (10,10) metallic Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT). Periodic boundary conditions (PBC) are applied in axial direction.…
The {\mu}-phase is a common precipitation phase in superalloys and it exists in a wide composition and temperature range. As such, we study the influences of composition and temperature on its plasticity by micropillar compression tests and…
We report on the structural properties of highly B-doped silicon (> 2 at. %) realised by nanosecond laser doping. We investigate the crystalline quality, deformation and B distribution profile of the doped layer by STEM analysis followed by…
Elastic strain engineering utilizes stress to realize unusual material properties. For instance, strain can be used to enhance the electron mobility of a semiconductor, enabling more efficient solar cells and smaller, faster transistors. In…
The mechanical responses of single crystalline Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) metals, such as molybdenum (Mo), outperform other metals at high temperatures, so much so that they are considered as excellent candidates for applications under…
In layered materials, a common mode of deformation involves buckling of the layers under tensile deformation in the direction perpendicular to the layers. The instability mechanism, which operates in elastic materials from geological to…
Strain rate and temperature dependence of the tensile strength of single-walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated with molecular dynamics simulations. The tensile failure or yield strain is found to be strongly dependent on the…
Ta (100 nm) / NdFeB (5 $\mu$m) / Ta (100 nm) films have been deposited onto Si substrates using triode sputtering (deposition rate ~ 18 $\mu$m/h). A 2-step procedure was used : deposition at temperatures up to 400 C followed by ex-situ…
Nanocrystalline materials are well known for their beneficial mechanical and physical properties. However, it is of utmost importance to stabilize the microstructure at elevated temperatures to broaden the window of application e.g. by…
Room-temperature transport properties (the zero-field resistivity, \rho 0, and the GMR) were studied for ED Ni50Co50/Cu multilayers as a function of the individual layer thicknesses and total multilayer thickness. The Cu deposition…
Nanoscale metallic multilayer (NMM) films are systems offering insight into the role of interfaces in metal plasticity, deformation, and strengthening mechanisms. Magnetron sputtering was used to fabricate the Ta-Cu NMM films with a…

Nanocrystalline materials exhibit properties that can differ substantially from those of their single crystal counterparts. As such, they provide ways to enhance and optimise their functionality for devices and applications. Here we report…
The shape memory effect and pseudoelasticity in Cu nanowires is one possible pair of mechanisms that prevents high aspect ratio nanosized field electron emitters to be stable at room temperature and permits their growth under high electric…
