Mechanical behavior of the Si(111)/Si(3)N4(0001) interface is studied using million atom molecular dynamics simulations. At a critical value of applied strain parallel to the interface, a crack forms on the silicon nitride surface and moves toward the interface. The crack does not propagate into the silicon substrate; instead, dislocations are emitted when the crack reaches the interface. The dislocation loop propagates in the (1; 1;1) plane of the silicon substrate with a speed of 500 (+/-100) m/s. Time evolution of the dislocation emission and nature of defects is studied.

Recent advancements in material science have aimed to create novel nanomaterials with unique properties and potential applications across diverse domains. By deciphering the complexities of the versatile nanomaterial, MgO, the study aims to deepen our comprehension of the synergistic effects induced by dual doping in MgO, thus propelling the advancement of innovative technologies and materials with broad applications. The present investigation employed a facile chemical precipitation and coprecipitation approach to synthesize pure MgO and Ni, Zn dual doped MgO, varying Ni concentration ranging between 2% and 10% and maintaining a constant Zn concentration at 20%.

The compressive deformation of the extruded binary Mg-Gd with gadolinium in solid solution has been studied in situ by combining synchrotron diffraction and acoustic emission techniques during compression tests. These two techniques are useful in investigating the evolution of twinning in all its stages. The extruded bars develop a fiber texture with the basal plane parallel to the extrusion direction.

AlGaN is attractive for fabricating deep ultraviolet (DUV) optoelectronic and electronic devices of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors, high-electron-mobility field-effect transistors (HEMTs), etc. We investigated the quality and optical properties of AlGaN films with high Al fractions (60-87%) grown on sapphire substrates, including AlN nucleation and buffer layers, by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). They were initially investigated by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) and Raman scattering (RS).

We report the synthesis and characterization of pure CuO and CuO-ZnO nanostructured composite thin films sprayed on particle-free glass substrates using chemical spray pyrolysis method. The films were systematically analyzed through microstructural, morphological, chemical, and gas-sensing studies. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies confirmed the polycrystalline nature of the films, with a predominant monoclinic phase along the (002) direction.

Surface carburized steels are extensively utilized in gears due to their exceptional properties. The quality of the carburized layer is crucial in enhancing the contact fatigue and wear resistance of the components. However, the conventional carburizing method takes a long time and induces a carbon emissions problem.
