Directing Amphiphilic Self-Assembly: From Microstructure Control to Interfacial Engineering
Langmuir, 2018The self-assembly of small molecules into complex nanoscale structures is driven by the interplay of various noncovalent interactions. It has now become evident that by maneuvering this intermolecular interaction the geometry and interfacial properties of several nanoscale objects can be tamed.

Interfacial-Energy-Controlled Deposition Technique of Microstructures Using Blade-Coating
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2009A novel blade-coating technique for the fluidic self-assembly of microstructures on large-scale substrates is presented. In our blade-coating technique, water and microstructures dispersion, which includes chemically modified microstructures and water-insoluble solvent, are continuously blade-coated on a substrate on which surface hydrophilic areas are

Influence of Interfacial Stress on Microstructural Evolution in NiAl Alloys
JETP Letters, 2020A phase-field model for the phase transition between austenite and martensite and twinning between two martensitic variants is presented from our previous theory [1] with the main focus on the influence of interfacial stress that is consistent with the sharp interface limit.

Effects of interfacial microstructure on ohmic contacts to GaAs
Applied Surface Science, 1990Abstract Thermally stable, low resistance ohmic contacts on n-type GaAs which withstand high temperature cycles without degrading their electrical properties are critical to fabrication of high performance GaAs integrated circuits. Analysis of the microstructure between the metal and GaAs was carried out for the universally used AuNiGe ohmic contacts

Interfacial microstructure of NiSix/HfO2/SiOx/Si gate stacks
Thin Solid Films, 2007Integration of NiSix based fully silicided metal gates with HfO2 high-k gate dielectrics offers promise for further scaling of complementary metal-oxide- semiconductor devices. A combination of high resolution transmission electron microscopy and small probe electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis has been applied ...

Interfacial phenomena and microstructural evolution during superplastic deformation
Surface and Interface Analysis, 2001Abstract Certain polycrystalline materials of fine equiaxed grains of size <10µm exhibit tensile ductility of several hundred to a few thousand per cent, called superplasticity, at intermediate strain rates and high temperatures.

Microstructure and magnetic properties of interfacially disordered FePt particles
INTERMAG Asia 2005. Digests of the IEEE International Magnetics Conference, 2005., 2005In order to clarify the effect of the interfacially disordered layer on the magnetic properties, we have investigated the magnetic properties of L1/sub 0/ FePt particles with a thin disordered interface. 10 nm FePt films were deposited on MgO [001] single crystal substrates at 700/spl deg/C using a multiple de-sputtering system. A 5 nm amorphous Al/sub

Characterization of Microstructure of Interfacial Transition Zone in Concrete
ACI Materials Journal, 2005Interfacial transition zone (ITZ) constitutes the weakest link in the normal concrete matrix and significantly affects the properties of the concrete. To quantitatively evaluate the effect of ITZ on the physical and mechanical behavior of concrete, it is imperative to characterize the microstructure of ITZ. The intention of this paper is to investigate

The Role of Interfacial Microstructure in ZnO Varistor Materials
1987The influence of sintering parameters (e. g. time and cooling rate) on the inter granular microstructure of a ZnO varistor material has been investigated and related to leakage currents. It is considered that the three dimensional network ofBi-rich phases which exists at multiple grain junctions provides an alternative conduction path through the ...
