To develop advanced materials, a deep understanding of their underlying microstructure and chemistry is necessary. Knowing how defects influence the interplay between microstructure and chemical ...
The orientations of these infinitesimally small separations between individual “grains” of a polycrystalline material have big effects. In a material such as aluminum, these collections of grains ...
Finding the grain boundaries in materials is vital because the material’s grain structure very often defines its mechanical properties. An example is given in the Hall-Petch relation, where strength ...
The figure shows the evolution of the microstructure of the melt pool under the influence of the simulated transient temperature field. Nucleated grains are represented in pink-purple plots, while ...
Materials are often considered to be one phase, but many engineering materials contain two or more phases, improving their properties and performance. These two-phase materials have inclusions, called ...
“Photonic applications using the II-VI semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) are becoming increasingly prevalent, and research into even more uses is exploding, with hundreds of labs looking into the ...
