In this work, we examine fundamental materials processes in the growth of indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). In particular, we realize improvements in the epitaxial integration ...

A three-dimensional dynamic model of the recently introduced semi-solid flow battery system is developed and applied to address issues with important design and operation implications. Because of the high viscosity of ...

Driven by rising environmental and geopolitical concerns, regulations have been put in place over the last decade to compel car makers to lower the CO2 emissions of their cars. Due to these increasingly stringent vehicle ...

Brick manufacturing requires a considerable amount of energy and land, but these numbers have been difficult to quantify in rural parts of the developing world. The environmental impact of unfired bricks in India is ...

As interconnect linewidths continue to scale downward, a detailed knowledge of stress evolution and void growth processes enables a determination of the electromigration-induced failure times of these interconnects. This ...

Modeling the behavior of ionic materials in electrochemical environments is a topic of great scientific interest for important systems like like fuel cells, batteries, and catalysts and corrosion passive films. However, ...

This study explores the possibility of extending the Ph.D. work of Yan Xu on copper-tin alloys (University of Pennsylvania, 1999) to model stress accelerated grain boundary oxidation (SAGBO) in INCOLOY alloy 908. The steady ...

The desire to desire targeted drug delivery devices capable of releasing therapeutic payloads within the cytosol of cells has led to research on nanoparticles as suitable drug carriers. Recently, it was shown that gold ...

Connecting structure to properties, and optimizing properties by controlling structure is one of the fundamental goals of materials science and engineering. No where is this connection more apparent than with biomaterials, ...
