Manufacturing at the atomic scale is the next generation of the industrial revolution. Atomic
and close-to-atomic scale manufacturing (ACSM) helps to achieve this. Atomic force …

Although carbon materials, particularly graphene and carbon nanotubes, are widely used to
reinforce metal matrix composites, understanding the fabrication process and connection …

The purpose of this paper is the enhancement of the AFM sensitivity through the selection of
an optimized FGM micro cantilever beam. In this paper, resonant frequencies and …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to study the mechanical behavior of
SiGe thin film during nanoindentation and nanoscratching processes. The MD simulations of …

Three-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted to investigate the
atomic force microscope (AFM)-based nanometric cutting process of copper using diamond …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to study the effects of indention
deformation, contact, and adhesion on Al, Ni, and Al/Ni multilayered films. The results show …

The atomic force microscopy (AFM) based direct nanoscratching has been thoroughly
studied but the mechanism of nanoscratching with water-layer lubrication is yet to be well …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been an effective material removing tool for fabricating
various nanostructures because of its sub‐nanometer precision and simplicity in operation …

Thin films of Ni and Ni alloy have been widely used in microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS) and magnetic storage systems. As the dimensions of components in these systems …

To understand the dislocation mechanism during nanoindentation on metallic materials,
molecular dynamics has been widely used. It has been found that isolated prismatic …
