Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (SCNCs) or, more broadly, colloidal quantum
nanostructures constitute outstanding model systems for investigating size and …

This brief overview presents classical molecular dynamics simulations that we employed to
examine the glass formation and cluster evolution during the rapid solidification of Co 3 Al …

When materials' characteristic dimensions are reduced to the nanoscale regime, their
mechanical properties will vary significantly to that of their bulk counterparts. Recently low …

Abstract Structural evolution of Al 90 Sm 10 metallic glass (MG) nanowire (NW) has been
investigated in great details by employing Molecular dynamics to simulate the torsion …

Biocomposite structures are difficult to characterize by bulk approaches due to their
morphological complexity and compositional heterogeneity. Therefore, a versatile method is …

An in-situ SEM (scanning electron microscope) micro-torsion tester with high resolution is
developed based on electromagnetism. The torque is controlled and measured using a coil …

Abstract Knowledge of deformation and failure mechanisms at micro-to nano-length scales
is important for the prediction of material behavior as well as the development of new …

Abstract Kolloidale Halbleiternanokristalle (“semiconductor nanocrystals”, SCNC), oder
weiter gefasst kolloidale Quantennanostrukturen, stellen außergewöhnliche Modellsysteme …

Small-scale metallic glasses have many applications in microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS) and sensors which require good mechanical properties. Bending, tensile and …

To overcome brittleness of bulk metallic glasses, great efforts have been devoted to
optimizing BMGs′ plasticity under compressive, tensional or bending load. Yet, it is hardly …
