Diamond is a highly attractive material for ample applications in material science,
engineering, chemistry, and biology because of its favorable properties. The advent of …

This paper reviews the behaviour of CVD diamond coatings when subjected to solid particle
erosion. The high hardness, elastic modulus and strength of diamond coatings make them …

Diamond combines several outstanding material properties such as the highest thermal
conductivity and highest elastic moduli of all materials. This makes diamond an interesting …

The structural and electronic properties of the diamond lattice, leading to its outstanding
mechanical properties, are discussed. These include the highest elastic moduli and fracture …

Abstract The National Ignition Facility (NIF) will allow scientists to prove the feasibility of
inertial confinement fusion (ICF). The success of ICF experiments at NIF will critically depend …

Hardness and Young's modulus were measured by nanoindentation on a series of
electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel and nickel–iron alloys. Hardness values showed a …

This study reports the impact of film microstructure and composition on the Young's modulus
and residual stress in nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) thin films (≈ 250 nm thick) grown on …

Young's modulus, fracture stress, and Poisson's ratio are important mechanical
characteristics for micromechanical devices. The Poisson's ratio of a material is a good …

The characteristic features and applications of linear and nonlinear guided elastic waves
propagating along surfaces (2D) and wedges (1D) are discussed. Laser-based excitation …

Diamond films were deposited on cobalt-cemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co) by Hot-
Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition (HFCVD). The mechanical properties and wear …
