The use of pump-probe experiments to study complex transient events has been an area of
significant interest in materials science, biology, and chemistry. While the emphasis has …

High entropy oxides (HEOs) with chemically disordered multi-cation structure attract
intensive interest as negative electrode materials for battery applications. The outstanding …

Many of the structural elements of importance in materials applications (eg, thin films, barrier
layers, intergranular films in ceramics) are small in volume and amorphous. Although the …

We used 600-femtosecond electron pulses to study the structural evolution of aluminum as it
underwent an ultrafast laser–induced solid-liquid phase transition. Real-time observations …

Thin tetrahedrally coordinated amorphous carbon (ta-C) films have been grown using a
filtered vacuum arc. ta-C is a new allotrope of carbon whose existence was previously …

Much of this book was written during a sabbatical visit by JCHS to the Max Planck Institute in
Stuttgart during 1991. We are therefore grateful to Professors M. Ruhle and A. Seeger for …

Electron configurations close to the tetrahedral hybridization are found in pure amorphous
carbon at a concentration which depends on preparation conditions. Tetrahedral bonding at …

The residual stress and structural properties of tungsten thin films prepared by magnetron
sputtering as a function of sputtering-gas pressure are reported. The films were analyzed in …

The prospective applications of metallic glasses are limited by their lack of ductility,
attributed to shear banding inducing catastrophic failure. A concise depiction of the local …

A computational method has been developed for generating graphitic carbon structures on
an arbitrary smooth surface and with a given number of carbon rings. Using both periodic …
