The measurement of the Si lattice parameter by x-ray interferometry assumes the use of strain-free crystals, which might not be true because of intrinsic stresses due to surface relaxation, reconstruction, and oxidation. We used x-ray…
Four-dimensional Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (4D-STEM) is a powerful technique for high-resolution and high-precision materials characterization at multiple length scales, including the characterization of beam-sensitive…
Suspended specimens of 2D crystals and their heterostructures are required for a range of studies including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), optical transmission experiments and nanomechanical testing. However, investigating the…
X-ray diffraction tomography (XDT) resolves spatially-variant XRD profiles within macroscopic objects, and provides improved material contrast compared to the conventional transmission-based computed tomography (CT). However, due to the…
Pixel- and voxel-based representations of microstructures obtained from tomographic imaging methods is an established standard in computational materials science. The corresponding highly resolved, uniform discretitization in numerical…
In the presented research, the intergranular elastic interaction and the second-order plastic incompatibility stress in textured ferritic and austenitic steels were investigated by means of diffraction. The lattice strains were measured…
Understanding nano- and micro-scale crystal strain in CVD diamond is crucial to the advancement of diamond quantum technologies. In particular, the presence of such strain and its characterization present a challenge to diamond-based…
By adjusting the incidence angle of incoming X-ray near the critical angle of X-ray total reflection, the photoelectron intensity is strongly modulated due to the variation of X-ray penetration depth. Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES)…
The spectral decomposition of a symmetric, second-order tensor is widely adopted in many fields of Computational Mechanics. As an example, in elasto-plasticity under large strain and rotations, given the Cauchy deformation tensor, it is a…
Ultrasound elastography is the method to image the elasticity of compliant tissues due to a mechanical compression applied to it. In elastography, the local strain of explored tissue is estimated by analyzing the echo signals. This is…
We have developed a novel scanning probe-based methodology to study cell biomechanics. The time dependence of the force exerted by the cell surface on a scanning probe at constant local deformation has been used to extract local…
Micro-Laue diffraction and simultaneous rainbow-filtered micro-diffraction were used to measure accurately the full strain tensor and the lattice orientation distribution at the sub-micron scale in highly strained, suspended Ge…
The statistical analysis of covariance matrix data is considered and, in particular, methodology is discussed which takes into account the non-Euclidean nature of the space of positive semi-definite symmetric matrices. The main motivation…
In this research project we propose a new composite medium, which can visualise the mechanical stress at any stage: before and after damage. The main feature of the proposed stress-tuneable composite is its permittivity (dielectric…
The diverse spectrum of material characteristics including band gap, mechanical moduli, color, phonon and electronic density of states, along with catalytic and surface properties are intricately intertwined with the atomic structure and…
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a relatively modern technique used to study tissue microstructure in a non-invasive way. Non-Gaussian diffusion representation is related to the restricted diffusion and can provide information…
The stress-mediated diffusion of nonequilibrium point defects from the surface to the bulk of the semiconductor is investigated by computer simulation. It is supposed that point defects are generated in the surface region by ion…
Uniaxial strain is a powerful tuning parameter that can control symmetry and anisotropic electronic properties in iron-based superconductors. However, accurately characterizing anisotropic strain can be challenging and complex. Here, we…
A stress equilibration procedure for linear elasticity is proposed and analyzed in this paper with emphasis on the behavior for (nearly) incompressible materials. Based on the displacement-pressure approximation computed with a stable…
Atomic Force Microscope images of a crack intersecting the free surface of a glass specimen are taken at different stages of subcritical propagation. From the analysis of image pairs, it is shown that a novel Integrated Digital Image…
