Material frame representation of equivalent stress tensor for discrete solids
In this paper, we derive expressions for equivalent Cauchy and Piola stress tensors that can be applied to discrete solids and are exact for the case of homogeneous deformation. The main principles used for th...

Electron Transport Properties of InN
High-energy particle irradiation has been used to control the free electron concentration and electron mobility in InN by introducing native point defects that act as donors. A direct comparison between theore...

Electronic and Optical Properties of Energetic Particle-Irradiated In-rich InGaN
We have carried out a systematic study of the effects of irradiation on the electronic and optical properties of InGaN alloys over the entire composition range. High energy electrons, protons, and4He+ were used t...

Effect of superalloy substrate composition on the performance of a thermal barrier coating system
An investigation was carried out to determine the performance of a thermal barrier coating system consisting of (ZrO2-8% Y2O3)/(Pt) on two single-crystal Ni-base superalloys. Coating/alloy behavior was studied wi...

Analyses of Pt/Ti Electrodes for Plzt Capacitors
A suitable choice of an electrode material is important for an acceptable electrical contact to a high-permittivity dielectric, such as PLZT. A material which does not form a low-permittivity oxide is necessar...
