Atomistic aspects of fracture
Any fracture process ultimately involves the rupture of atomic bonds. Processes at the atomic
scale therefore critically influence the toughness and overall fracture behavior of materials …

Size-dependent brittle-to-ductile transition in silica glass nanofibers
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 …

Thin film encapsulation of organic solar cells by direct deposition of polysilazanes from solution
Organic electronic devices (OEDs), eg, organic solar cells, degrade quickly in the presence
of ambient gases, such as water vapor and oxygen. Thus, in order to extend the lifetime of …

Scaling exponents for fracture surfaces in homogeneous glass and glassy ceramics
We investigate the scaling properties of postmortem fracture surfaces in silica glass and
glassy ceramics. In both cases, the 2D height-height correlation function is found to obey …
