Mechanical buckling induced periodic kinking/stripe microstructures in mechanically peeled graphite flakes from HOPG
Mechanical exfoliation is a widely used method to isolate high quality graphene layers from bulk graphite. In our recent experiments, some ordered microstructures, consisting of a periodic alternation of kinks...

Observation of Apparently Unchanging Mesophyll Cell Diameters Throughout Leaf Ontogeny in Woody Species
The expansion of plant leaves usually lasts 3–6 weeks and it is widely believed that most cell types (epidermal and mesophyll) continue to expand in unison over a similar time period. The evidence supporting t...

The second Eshelby problem and its solvability
It is still a challenge to clarify the dependence of overall elastic properties of heterogeneous materials on the microstructures of non-elliposodal inhomogeneities (cracks, pores, foreign particles). From the...

Interlayer shear strength of single crystalline graphite
Reported values (0.2 MPa–7.0 GPa) of the interlayer shear strength (ISS) of graphite are very dispersed. The main challenge to obtain a reliable value of the ISS using conventional measuring methods was the un...

Effects of vacancies on interwall spacings of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
We use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the effects of vacancies on tube diameters and interwall spacings of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Two types of vacancies, double vacancy and three...

Orientation Distribution Functions for Microstructures of Heterogeneous Materials (II)—Crystal Distribution Functions and Irreducible Tensors Restricted by Various Material Symmetries
The explicit representations for tensorial Fourier expansion of 3-D crystal orientation distribution functions (CODFs) are established. In comparison with that the coefficients in the mth term of the Fourier exp...

Orientation Distribution Functions for Microstructures of Heterogeneous Materials (I) — Directional Distribution Functions and Irreducible Tensors
In this two-part paper, a thorough investigation is made on Fourier expansions with irreducible tensorial coefficients for orientation distribution functions (ODFs) and crystal orientation distribution functions
