Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...
The most widely used engineering materials are polycrystalline (ensembles of crystallites of differing orientation). Grain boundaries (interfaces across which crystal orientation changes) are the ...
SiC is extensively used in microelectronic devices owing to its several unique properties. However, low yield and high cost of the SiC manufacturing process are the major challenges that must be ...
