  2. 1. Mechanical behaviour of carbon nanostructures

    Author : Henrik Jackman; Krister Svensson; Pavel Krakhmalev; Eleanor E. B. Campbell; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbon nanotubes; CNT; multiwalled carbon nanotubes; MWCNT; rippling; buckling; mechanical properties; transmission electron microscopy; TEM; scanning electron microscopy; SEM; atomic force microscopy; AFM; Young’s modulus; in situ TEM; in situ SEM; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extraordinary mechanical and electrical properties. Together with their small dimensions and low density, they are attractive candidates for building blocks in future nanoelectromechanical systems and for many other applications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Microstructure of Zirconium Alloys Oxidized in Steam

    Author : Pia Tejland; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EDX; ADF; TEM; Zircaloy-2; FIB-SEM; STEM; GD-OES; SPP; SEM; Zirconium; HAADF;

    Abstract : Zirconium alloys are widely used in nuclear reactors as fuel cladding tubes because of their low thermal neutron capture cross-section, good corrosion properties and satisfactory mechanical properties. However, the main limiting factor of these materials is the oxidation behavior. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microscopy of high temperature oxidation of iron and some stainless steels

    Author : Torbjörn Jonsson; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : water vapour; sulphur dioxide; FIB; X20; stainless steel; 353MA; EDX; KCl; FIB SEM; SEM; microstructure; TEM; iron; High-temperature oxidation; in-situ ESEM;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the high temperature oxidation of iron and some stainless steels. The oxide scales, as well as the subjacent metal, were investigated using a range of electron and ion microscopy techniques, including SEM, TEM, EDX and FIB. The aim was to link the microstructural observations to the oxidation mechanisms of the materials. READ MORE
