Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

The urgency for clean and secure energy has stimulated a global resurgence in searching
for advanced electrical energy storage systems. For now and the foreseeable future …

Copper catalyzes the electrochemical reduction of CO to valuable C2+ products including
ethanol, acetate, propanol, and ethylene. These reactions could be very useful for …

This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and
nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and …

The strength of polycrystalline materials increases with decreasing grain size. Below a
critical size, smaller grains might lead to softening, as suggested by atomistic simulations …

Many routes have been developed for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes, but their assembly
into continuous fibers has been achieved only through postprocessing methods. We spun …

The traditional scheme of metals extraction from minerals involves some processes of
mechanical character ameliorating the accesibility of the valuable component by the …

Classical Hall–Petch relation for large grained polycrystals is usually derived using the
model of dislocation pile-up first investigated mathematically by Nabarro and coworkers. In …

Focusing on nanocrystalline (nc) pure face-centered cubic metals, where systematic
experimental data are available, this paper presents a brief overview of the recent progress …

In nanostructured metals with grain sizes of the order of 100 nm, dislocation mechanisms
remain dominant in controlling plastic deformation. These materials, similar to their coarse …
