Indentation is a remarkably flexible mechanical test due to its relative experimental
simplicity. Coupled with advances in instrument development, ease of implementation has …

Influences of surface preparation on the pop-in behavior of single-crystal Mo were examined
in nanoindentation experiments. The Mo surface was prepared by electropolishing and then …

Chromium‐containing stainless steel (SS) is a prospective material for use as an
interconnect in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). However, during operations at high …

At present, the accuracy of strain measurement using a common optical extensometer with
2D digital image correlation is not sufficient for experimental applications due to the effect of …

Hybrid halide perovskite is attracting attention as an alternative solar cell material, but the air
instability of perovskite is still a major research problem. The current work investigates how …

The structural, magnetic, electronic, optical and mechanical properties of lanthanum
chromite LaCrO3 were investigated in cubic (Pm-3m) and orthorhombic (Pbnm) phases by …

Careful experiments were performed with a well characterized indenter to systematically
investigate the influences of sample preparation on the indentation size effect (ISE) and …

Organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have grown rapidly in recent years
due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties, high efficiency, and low-cost. However …

The bulge test has been utilized extensively in determining the mechanical properties of thin
film materials. We develop a bulge-test system that consists of three main components …

Multi-component or multi-cation ceramic oxides are particularly sensitive to processing-
properties variation, in which a single defined chemical stoichiometry can embody dramatic …
