Stress-strain plots based on nanoindentation load-depth curves reflected cracking phenomenon. A transition from ductile to brittle fracture was observed on increasing the depth or load of indenter penetration. A new approach with shape…
Plasmonic nano-optical tweezers enable the non-invasive manipulation of nano-objects under low illumination intensities, and have become a powerful tool for nanotechnology and biophysics. However, measuring the trap stiffness of…
The mechanical behavior of antigorite strongly influences the strength and deformation of the subduction interface. Although there is microstructural evidence elucidating the nature of brittle deformation at low pressures, there is often…
Developing a new class of coating materials is necessary to meet the increasing demands of energy and defense-related technologies, aerospace engineering, and harsh environmental conditions. Functional-based coatings, such as ceramic-metal…

An original setup combining a very stable loading stage, an atomic force microscope and an environmental chamber, allows to obtain very stable sub-critical fracture propagation in oxide glasses under controlled environment, and subsequently…
Atomic scale characterization and manipulation with scanning probe microscopy rely upon the use of an atomically sharp probe. Here we present automated methods based on machine learning to automatically detect and recondition the quality of…
Spinodal decomposition can improve a number of essential properties in materials, especially hardness. Yet, the theoretical prediction of the onset of this phenomenon (e.g., temperature) and its microstructure (e.g., wavelength) often…
The precise measurement of mechanical stress at the nanoscale is of fundamental and technological importance. In principle, all six independent variables of the stress tensor, which describe the direction and magnitude of…
In the study of nanobubbles, nanodroplets or nanolenses immobilised on a substrate, a cross-section of a spherical-cap is widely applied to extract geometrical information from atomic force microscopy (AFM) topographic images. In this…
Tensile instability, often observed in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), is a numerical artifact that manifests itself by unphysical clustering or separation of particles. The instability originates in estimating the derivatives of the…
The solidification of metallic droplets into powder particles involves a complex interplay between heat diffusion, surface tension, and geometric constraints. In confined, curved systems -- such as those encountered in atomisation,…
Accurate measurement of light wavelength is critical for applications in spectroscopy, optical communication, and semiconductor manufacturing, ensuring precision and consistency of sensing, high-speed data transmission and device…
The material removal rates during milling operations are affected by the selection of the cutting depth and spindle speed. Poor selection of these parameters can result in chatter or suboptimal material removal rates. Stability Lobe…
We introduce new models that incorporate layer corrugation and interface roughness into standard approaches for measuring interface stress in nanomultilayers (NMLs). Applied to Cu/W NMLs, these models show that ignoring such features can…
Deformation plasticity mechanisms in alloys and compounds may unveil the material capacity towards optimal mechanical properties. We conduct a series of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate plasticity mechanisms due to…
When glassy materials are rapidly quenched from the liquid to the solid state upon flow cessation or cooling, they solidify in an out-of-equilibrium configuration, retaining the memory of the processing conditions for very long times. This…
We report theoretical results predicting the atomic manipulation of a silver atom on a Si(001) surface by a scanning probe tip, and providing insight into the manipulation phenomena. A molecular mechanics technique has been used, the system…
