Glasses are usually shaped through the viscous flow of a liquid before its solidification, as
practiced in glass blowing. At or near room temperature (RT), oxide glasses are known to be …

Silica (SiO2) glass, an essential material in human civilization, possesses excellent
formability near its glass-transition temperature (T g> 1100° C). However, bulk SiO2 glass is …

Using the classical molecular dynamics method we simulate the mechanochemical behavior
of small (ie, core diameter< 10 nm⁠) oxide coated aluminum nanoparticles. Aluminum …

This paper presents investigation of the structure of fluoroalkylsilanes on alumina surface by
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry …

We develop and validate an interatomic potential for ruthenium based on the embedded
atom method framework with the Finnis/Sinclair representation. We confirm that the potential …

The origin of the brittle-to-ductile transition, experimentally observed in amorphous silica
nanofibers as the sample size is reduced, is still debated. Here we investigate the issue by …

Abstract The Ti–(SiC p/Al) laminated composite was prepared by roll bonding of pure Ti and
SiC p/Al foils. The microstructure analysis shows that the work-hardening of Ti reduces the …

While at small collision velocities collisions of nanoparticles (NPs) are elastic, they become
plastic at higher velocities. We study the elastic-plastic threshold and the onset of plasticity …

With electron-beam (e-beam) off, in-situ tensile experiments on amorphous silica nanowires
(NWs) were performed inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM). By controlling the …

When nanoparticles (NPs) collide with low velocities, they interact elastically in the sense
that–besides their fusion caused by their mutual van-der-Waals attraction–no defects are …
