Polymorphism of dislocation core structures at the atomic scale

Atomic-scale analysis of the oxygen configuration at a SrTiO3 dislocation core.

The atomic structure of a SrTiO3 dislocation is revealed directly by phase-retrieval electron microscopy. In particular, atomic columns of light oxygen are observed simultaneously with the columns of considerably heavier Sr and Ti. A distinct structural modification of the oxygen octahedra at the dislocation core as well as a significant nonstoichiometry, including a deficiency of oxygen, are o...

Friction at the Atomic Scale

Everyone learns the basics of friction in high-school physics classes: the friction force experienced by a sliding object is proportional to the normal force that an object exerts on a surface. Remarkably, this extremely simple and empirical relation, known as Amontons’ Law, is still often used in creating the most technologically sophisticated machines and devices, even though friction is know...

the role of task-based techniques on the acquisition of english language structures by the intermediate efl students

this study examines the effetivenss of task-based activities in helping students learn english language structures for a better communication. initially, a michigan test was administered to the two groups of 52 students majoring in english at the allameh ghotb -e- ravandi university to ensure their homogeneity. the students scores on the grammar part of this test were also regarded as their pre...
