  2. 1. Nanostructured carbon-based thin films : prediction and design

    Author : Cecilia Goyenola; Gueorgui K. Gueorguiev; Lars Hultman; Sven Stafström; Yury Gogotsi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon; carbon-based; thin films; fullerene-like; modeling; dft;

    Abstract : Carbon-based thin films are a vast group of materials of great technological importance. Thanks to the different bonding options for carbon, a large variety of structures (from amorphous to nanostructured) can be achieved in the process of film synthesis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Physical Properties of Ternary Metal Oxides and Carbon Nanomaterials Under Pressure

    Author : Pablo Botella; Alberto Vomiero; Daniel Errandonea; Victor Lavin Della Ventura; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Experimentell fysik; Experimental Physics;

    Abstract : Found in nature or synthesized, materials present amazing properties such as superconductivity, super-hardness, lightweight, or high-energy-density, among others. All these properties can be used in our benefit to improve or develop new applications. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanical Characterisation of Coatings and Composites-Depth-Sensing Indentation and Finite Element Modelling

    Author : Zhi-Hui Xu; KTH; []
    Keywords : dept-sensing indentation; nanoindentation; finite element method; atomic force microscope;

    Abstract : In the past two decades depth-sensing indentation has becomea widely used technique to measure the mechanical properties ofmaterials. This technique is particularly suitable for thecharacterisation of materials at sub-micro or nano scale thoughthere is a tendency to extend its application to the micro ormacro scale. READ MORE

  7. 5. Microengineered CVD Diamond Surfaces : Tribology and Applications

    Author : Joakim Andersson; Staffan Jacobson; Arto Alahelisten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Diamond; DLC; Tribology; Friction; Environment; Microengineering; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Recent developments in thin film synthesis of diamond have facilitated a host of new technical applications. These are motivated by the many attractive properties of diamond, for example high hardness, chemical inertness, transparency and heat conductivity. Unfortunately, these properties also make it difficult to fashion complex geometries. READ MORE
