Using a transmission electron microscope, scientists “dissolved” defects as they formed on the dolomite crystal, speeding up its growth process. Understanding how these minerals form could ...

Dislocations are one-dimensional defects that occur in real crystalline solids and control their plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a ...

These are two-dimensional defects that separate regions of ordered single-crystal structure, crystalline and amorphous regions, or different phases. · A bubble raft model of grain boundaries is shown ...

The study of curvature effects on crystal structures and defect dynamics is an emerging field that explores how the shape and geometry of a substrate influence the behavior of crystalline materials.

T oday, silicon photonic circuits connect server racks and play key roles in chemical sensors, biosensors, and LIDAR for self ...

Interfaces between the crystalline HEA and amorphous MG plates act as defect sinks, accelerating defect annihilation and minimizing structural damage. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that ...

This new unique experimental capability already allowed us to obtain crystalline and quasi-crystalline patterns of defects and will contribute to the fundamental understanding of defects & their ...

which contain information about the local crystal structure, symmetry, and strain. CBED is highly sensitive to small changes in the atomic arrangement and is often used for precise lattice parameter ...

“In solar cells, 1/f noise stems mainly from defects on the surface or interface, such as incomplete lattices, unsaturated dangling bonds, or transmission center capture,” the Chinese group ...
