  2. 6. Probing nonlinear electrical properties at the nanoscale : Studies in multifrequency AFM

    Author : Riccardo Borgani; David B. Haviland; Peter Grütter; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Atomic Force Microscopy; Nonlinear dynamics; Multifrequency; Contact potential difference; Conductance; Fast dynamics; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Nanostructured materials promise great advances in diverse and active research fields such as energy harvesting and storage, corrosion prevention and high-density memories. Electrical characterization at the nanometer scale is key to understanding and optimizing the performance of these materials, and therefore central to the progress of nanotechnology. READ MORE

  6. 9. Grain Size and Solid Solution Strengthening in Metals

    Author : Dilip Chandrasekaran; KTH; []
    Keywords : strengthening mechanisms; flow stress; solid solution strengthening; grain size strengthening; micromechanical modelling; AFM; EBSD;

    Abstract : The understanding of the strengthening mechanisms is crucialboth in the development of new materials with improvedmechanical properties and in the development of better materialmodels in the simulation of industrial processes. The aim ofthis work has been to study different strengthening mechanismsfrom a fundamental point of view that enables the developmentof a general model for the flow stress. READ MORE

  7. 10. Growth and Characterization of ZnO Nanocrystals

    Author : Leif KE Ericsson; Kjell O Magnusson; Lars SO Johansson; Hanmin M Zhang; Omer Nour; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ZnO; Nanocrystals; Surface physics; XPS; SEM; AES; AFM; STM; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : The understanding of surfaces of materials is of crucial importance to all of us. Considering nanocrystals (NCs), that have a large surface to bulk ratio, the surfaces become even more important. Therefore, it is important to understand the fundamental surface properties in order to use NCs efficiently in applications. READ MORE
