Scaling the rock : a micromechanical model for the elastic properties of hydrated cement pastes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Cement is the most widely produced material worldwide. However, the understanding on how its nanoscale composition affect its microscale mechanical properties is limited. In this thesis, a micromechanical model for the ... -
Scanned pulsed laser annealing of Cu thin films
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)As the microelectronics industry has moved to Cu as the conductor material, there has been much research into microstructure control in Cu thin films, primarily because grain sizes affect resistivity. Also with Cu-based ... -
Scanning probe microscopy with inherent disturbance suppression using micromechanical systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)All scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) are affected by disturbances, or mechanical noise, in their environments which can limit their imaging resolution. This thesis introduces a general approach for suppressing out-of-plane ... -
