Engineered defects in crystalline material boosts electrical performance May 27, 2021 Xiaoli Tan and a team of campus collaborators used this transmission electron microscope at the Ames Laboratory's ...

Now a new study finds how defects affect two-dimensional crystalline structures, and the results hold information for designing new materials. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email.

The defects or dislocations occur when an atom is displaced from the regular, repeated pattern of atoms in the crystal. A key to understanding how the defects influence material behavior is to be ...

AMES, Iowa - Materials engineers don't like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...

The liquid crystalline phases of matter each possess distinct types of defects that have drawn great interest in areas such as topology, self-assembly and material micropatterning. However ...

“Indium oxide contains oxygen-vacancy defects, which facilitate carrier scattering and thus lower device stability,” says ...

Inside most of the Earth, olivine is a hot mineral whose creepy behavior drives plate tectonics.

“In the past, crystal growers who wanted to make materials without defects would try to grow them really slowly…our theory shows that you can grow defect-free materials quickly, if you ...

In a study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers from Osaka University uncovered an unexpected connection between the equations for defects in a crystalline lattice and ...

For example, a millimeters-size crystalline defect eventually can cause wafer breakage. And exactly what constitutes a micro-defect versus a macro-defect also may depend on its position in the supply ...
