Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

As nanotechnology rapidly advanced over the past decades, a variety of nanomaterials
have been developed and studied. Among them, SiC nanomaterials have recently attracted …

Applications of nanowires into future generation nanodevices require a complete
understanding of the mechanical properties of the nanowires. A great research effort has …

“Smaller is stronger.” Nanostructured materials such as thin films, nanowires, nanoparticles,
bulk nanocomposites, and atomic sheets can withstand non-hydrostatic (eg, tensile or …

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 …

The collective properties of nanoparticles manifest in their ability to self-organize into
complex microscale structures. Slow oxidation of tellurium ions in cadmium telluride (CdTe) …

Silicon carbide (SiC) is recognized as one of the shining stars of third generation
semiconductors, because of its preeminent characteristics, for instance, outstanding …

Robust nanostructures for future devices will depend increasingly on their reliability. While
great strides have been achieved for precisely evaluating electronic, magnetic, photonic …

Elastic-plastic and fracture properties are key issues in characterizing materials' mechanical
behavior, and they have been extensively studied for over a century for bulk structured …
