This paper explores the mechanisms of the residual stress generation in thin film systems
with large lattice mismatch strain, aiming to underpin the key mechanism for the observed …

It seems there is no special need to comment on the term'nanostructure'now, when one often
meets the'nano'words not only in scientific journals but even in newspapers. Moreover …

A theoretical model is suggested, which describes generation of misfit dislocations in
film/substrate composites of wire form. In the framework of the model, the ranges of the …

Dislocation-free core-shell nanowires are a promising material for quantum communication
devices. The synthesis of such nanowires is associated with many expensive experiments …

The misfit strain relaxation via generation of partial and perfect misfit dislocations and their
dipoles at the interface in core-shell nanowires with faceted cores is considered. The core …

Superlattice (SL) thin films composed of refractory ceramics unite extremely high hardness
and enhanced fracture toughness; a material combination which is often mutually exclusive …

A theoretical model is suggested which describes the generation and evolution of misfit
dislocations in composite solids containing nanowires with rectangular cross-section. In the …

Linear elasticity problem for a straight wedge disclination, which axially pierces a hollow
sphere (a spherical layer), is solved analytically. The disclination displacements, stresses …

A detailed analysis is given of the conditions for the generation of misfit‐induced defects
(misfit wedge disclinations and disclination dipoles, periodical arrays of misfit wedge …

A review of the continuum theory for defects in nanoscaled materials is given. The critical
behavior of dislocations in small particles and nanograins is considered. Elastic …
