New GPU-accelerated modeling reveals the hidden mechanics behind graphene’s AB-BA transitions and the defects that freeze them in place. Study: Phase-Field Crystal Method for Bilayer Graphene. Image ...

Magnesium is a promising material for use in structural materials because they are lightweight, have high-specific strength, and high-specific stiffness. However, its limited formability at room ...

Scientists have measured the mechanics of tiny crystalline ceramics. Materials are made of atoms, and if they are arranged periodically, they are called crystalline structures. If the size of these ...

In graphite, the bulk material most closely related to graphene, basal-plane dislocations have been well known since the early 1960s 15. The dissociation of perfect basal-plane dislocations into pairs ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a crystalline material utilized to develop a wide array of electronic devices, including transistors and other high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature devices. As ...

Once IC fabrication is complete, engineers use fault models to create test patterns that detect defects. These fault models are typically abstractions of defect behavior based on our experience and ...

With small-scale CMOS technology nodes, the probability of physical defects occurring in the device increases. Various defects occur which cannot be detected with the help of conventional Single Stuck ...
