The fundamental dependence between process parameters during focused electron beam
induced deposition and the chemistry of functional PtC nanostructures have been studied …

Contrary to the dislocation-driven 'smaller-is-stronger'size-effect in nanocrystals, the size-
dependence of strength in deformation twinning, another carrier of plasticity, still lacks …

We present in situ transmission electron microscope tensile tests on focused ion beam
fabricated single and multiple slip oriented Cu tensile samples with thicknesses in the range …

Remarkable diversity is observed in dislocation interactions that are responsible for
intermittent and sudden crystal slips. While large crystal slips can be easily observed on the …

In situ studies using X-ray tomography have gained immense popularity in the recent past
owing to their non-destructive nature and ability to capture the microstructure of a wide …

We derive a three-dimensional constitutive theory accounting for length-scale dependent
internal residual stresses in crystalline materials that develop due to a non-homogeneous …

Understanding surface modification of materials by Ga-ion milling has attracted growing
research interests. This research reports that ion beam milling can induce rapid formation of …

When a material that contains precipitates is deformed, the precipitates and the matrix may
strain plastically by different amounts causing stresses to build up at the precipitate-matrix …

There is substantial concern about the phase change to artificial ferrite or martensite in
commercial austenitic stainless steels during intense focused-ion-beam milling. In this work …

The mechanical properties of metallic materials are intrinsically governed by
microstructures, but it also shows the dependence on sample size at the small length scale …
