Vibrational thermodynamics: coupling of chemical order and size effects
(2002-01)We study the effects of vibrations in the Pd₃ system using first-principles pseudopotential calculations. We find that upon disordering from the DO₂₂ phase, the decreases by 0.07kB. We explain our results in terms of atomic ... -
Synthesis of Germanium Nanocrystals and its Possible Application in Memory Devices
(2002-01)A novel method of synthesizing and controlling the size of germanium nanocrystals was developed. A tri-layer structure comprising of a thin (~5nm) SiO₂ layer grown using rapid thermal oxidation (RTO), followed by a ... -
Studies on Nano-Indentation of Polymeric Thin Films Using Finite Element Methods
(2002-01)In this paper, the numerical simulation for nano-indentation is performed to measure time-dependent behavior of polymeric films. The possibility to extract the relaxed shear modulus of the polymer is evaluated using a rigid ...
