Characterization of crystallographically etched single crystal diamond diffraction gratings

Olivier Martin, Toralf Scharf, Niels Quack, Marcell Kristof Kiss, Adrien Marc Toros

We report on the fabrication and experimental characterization of single crystal diamond diffraction gratings fabricated with crystallographic dry etching. High aspect ratio atomic force microscopy reveals a characteristic V-groove profile exhibiting smoot ...

Atomistic study of hydrogen embrittlement of grain boundaries in nickel: I. Fracture

William Curtin, Ali Tehranchi

Hydrogen ingress into a metal is a persistent source of embrittlement. Fracture surfaces are often intergranular, suggesting favorable cleave crack growth along grain boundaries (GBs) as one driver for embrittlement. Here, atomistic simulations are used to ...

Enhancement of Auger recombination induced by carrier localization in InGaN/GaN quantum wells

Nicolas Grandjean, Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Raphaël Butté, Gwénolé Jean Jacopin, Georg Rossbach, Wei Liu, Mehran Shahmohammadi, Lise Lahourcade

The origin of efficiency droop in state-of-the-art quality In GaN/GaN and GaN/AlGaN quantum wells (QWs) grown on various crystal planes is studied by means of time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy associated with a precise determination of the QW ca ...

Restriction endonuclease AgeI is a monomer which dimerizes to cleave DNA

Virginija Jovaisaite

Although all Type II restriction endonucleases catalyze phosphodiester bond hydrolysis within or close to their DNA target sites, they form different oligomeric assemblies ranging from monomers, dimers, tetramers to higher order oligomers to generate a dou ...

Strain-Promoted C-C Bond Cleavages of Cyclobutanes : A Molecular Complexity Generating Tool

Laetitia Marie Mélanie Souillart

The catalytic activation of carbon-carbon single bonds is a major challenge in organometallic chemistry, since the lack of prefunctionalization steps opens the way to new, economically and ecologically attractive reaction pathways. Strained ring substrates ...

Monte Carlo Modeling of Crystal Channeling at High Energies

Philippe Jean Schoofs

Charged particles entering a crystal close to some preferred direction can be trapped in the electromagnetic potential well existing between consecutive planes or strings of atoms. This channeling effect can be used to extract beam particles if the crystal ...

Effect of accelerated carbonation on AOD stainless steel slag for its valorisation as a CO2-sequestering construction material

Ruben Anton Snellings

Non-stabilized Argon Oxygen Decarburisation (AODNS) slag in powdered form was examined for its carbon dioxide sequestration capacity and for its potential utilisation in the fabrication of high value building materials. The curing of the sample was carried ...

Nanoindentation cracking in gallium arsenide: Part II. TEM investigation

Johann Michler, Jacques Giovanola, Jean-Daniel Ganière, Jean-Marc Breguet, Cédric Pouvreau

The nanoindentation fracture behavior of gallium arsenide (GaAs) is examined from two perspectives in two parent papers. In the first paper (part I), we address the morphology of the crack field induced by different types of indenters by means of in situ n ...

Formation of cubic structured (Al1-xCrx)(2+delta)O-3 and its dynamic transition to corundum phase during cathodic arc evaporation

Alireza Karimi, Hossein Najafi

Mixed aluminum-chromium oxide coatings in the form of (Al,Cr)(2)O-3 solid solutions have attracted extensive research interest during the past years due to their successful use for challenging wear applications and the comparative ease of their moderate-te ...

{110} Slip with {112} slip traces in bcc Tungsten

Steven Van Petegem, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Cécile Renée Maria Marichal

While propagation of dislocations in body centered cubic metals at low temperature is understood in terms of elementary steps on {110} planes, slip traces correspond often with other crystallographic or non-crystallographic planes. In the past, characteriz ...
