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 ...

Superstoichiometric (Al,Cr)N: Nitrogen's whereabouts and role in structure-property relationships

Johann Michler

The role of light elements in ceramic materials cannot be overestimated. By tuning their concentration, a whole multitude of mechanisms can be activated, directly influencing the material's functional properties. However, accurate determination of light el ...

Orientation-dependent mechanical behaviour of electrodeposited copper with nanoscale twins

Stefano Mischler, Johann Michler

The mechanical properties of electrodeposited copper with highly-oriented nanoscale twins were investigated by micropillar compression. Uniform nanotwinned copper films with preferred twin orientations, either vertical or horizontal, were obtained by contr ...

3D printed microchannels for sub-nL NMR spectroscopy

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Johann Michler, Marco Grisi, Maria Cristina Letizia, Laszlo Pethö, Enrica Montinaro

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on subnanoliter (sub-nL) volumes are hindered by the limited sensitivity of the detector and the difficulties in positioning and holding such small samples in proximity of the detector. In this work, we report o ...

Comparative oxidation behavior of columnar and equiaxed Cr2AlC coatings

Johann Michler

The oxidation behavior of columnar and equiaxed Cr2AlC coatings in air at 990 °C is studied. During the transient heating-up period to 990 °C the two coating morphologies exhibit different oxidation behavior. In columnar coatings, faster Al diffusion along ...
