The emergence of a substantial body of literature focusing on uniaxial compression experiments of micro-and nano-sized single-crystalline cylindrical papers has …
Mechanical integrity becomes a decisive factor to assess applicability of nanoporous materials due to their mechanical fragility in tension. Nanoporous materials with large …
Magnesium has attracted attention worldwide because it is the lightest structural metal. However, a high strength-to-weight ratio remains its only attribute, since an intrinsic lack of …
In this work, the deformation mechanisms underlying the room temperature deformation of the pseudomorphic body centered cubic (BCC) Mg phase in Mg/Nb nanolayered …
La plasticité de micro-piliers monocristallins d'antimoniure d'indium (InSb), de silicium (Si) et de nitrure de galium (GaN) est étudiée à 25° C pour comprendre les mécanismes de …
The progress in microscale additive manufacturing (µ-AM) of metals requires engineering of the microstructure for various functional applications. In situ control over the microstructure …
Analytical transmission electron microscopy has been applied within this thesis to investigate several novel approaches to design and fabricate nanoscale magnetic materials …
