Anelastic Behavior of Copper Single Crystals at Low Stresses

The recrystallization of copper single crystals deformed at 4.2 K

The deformation of copper single crystals at 4.2 K occurs by a sequence of slip, twinning and slip in the twinned structure. Subsequent annealing of the deformed structures obtained at various points at this sequence of deformation permits the detailed nature of the deformed and recrystallized states to be related in a unique fashion. Material recrystallized from structures obtained prior to th...

ANELASTIC EFFECTS IN SINGLE CRYSTALS OF -Cu-Zn AND -Cu-Zn-Al ALLOYS

Large-area graphene single crystals grown by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition of methane on copper.

Graphene single crystals with dimensions of up to 0.5 mm on a side were grown by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition in copper-foil enclosures using methane as a precursor. Low-energy electron microscopy analysis showed that the large graphene domains had a single crystallographic orientation, with an occasional domain having two orientations. Raman spectroscopy revealed the graphene single ...

Quasi-elastic behavior of solutions of viral capsid and RNA at very low shearing stresses.

By the application of shearing stresses on the order of 10(-3) dyne cm-2 (10(-2) muN cm-2), via the magnetic viscodensimeter, extremely high relative viscosities (greater than 500) were observed when turnip yellow mosaic virus was degraded in alkali into its capsid and RNA. The solutions, however, possessed a watery consistency at this stage and exhibited a quasi-elastic character by rotor-reco...

Lamination microstructure in shear deformed copper single crystals

We investigate the formation of microscopic patterns in a copper single crystal deformed in a shear experiment. Using high-resolution electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) imaging, we find a band-like microstructure consisting of confined areas in the sample with rotated lattice. Digital image correlation (DIC) allows us to exactly determine the macroscopic state of deformation of the sample....
