Unique anisotropic properties, such as direction-dependent light absorption and emission, ... WS2-NTs all aligned along a ...

Crystallographic orientation describes the alignment of the ... This is important because these materials exhibit different properties when they have different crystallographic directions," Ozcan ...

Materials under high-stress conditions relieve shear stresses through mechanisms like dislocation slip, crystallographic twinning, shear-induced amorphization, phase transition and fracture.

Crystallographic directions in the sample coordinate system are plotted in a pole figure whereas sample directions in the crystallographic coordinate system are plotted in an inverse pole figure. For ...

Controlling the size, shape and crystallographic orientation of single crystals is vital to exploit the desired properties. A new method to grow single crystals and simultaneously control their ...

However, the crystallographic orientation of the surfaces of the tiny metal granules also plays an important role. Crystals can be cut in different highly-specific directions -- this process is ...

However, at specific twist angles—most notably near 28° and 32°—the simulations revealed a highly anisotropic potential. In these cases, a narrow channel of minimal resistance forms along one ...

This is important because these materials exhibit different properties when they have different crystallographic directions,” Ozcan said. For the first time, Ozcan has seen crystallographic ...

Under the right conditions, they noticed that the nanotubes all pointed along a specific crystallographic direction. This is the first time that arrayed tungsten disulfide nanotubes have been grown.

"The precise knowledge of the crystallographic planes and the direction a material deforms can allow us to develop models describing the mechanical behavior of metals at extreme levels of ...
