Surface defects in rails
Despite significant efforts throughout the last decades, the mechanisms behind the formation of squats — a form of rolling contact fatigue (RCF) damage in rails — are not fully understood. Proposed causes of initiation involve, but are not limited to, small initial rail surface irregularities which yield high contact stresses, rail corrugation and varying friction conditions. To complicate matt...
متن کاملRepairing Nanoparticle Surface Defects
Solar devices based on semiconductor nanoparticles require the use of conductive ligands; however, replacing the native, insulating ligands with conductive metal chalcogenide complexes introduces structural defects within the crystalline nanostructure that act as traps for charge carriers. We utilized atomically thin semiconductor nanoplatelets as a convenient platform for studying, both micros...
متن کاملFormation, Interaction and Observation of Topological Defects
A number of talks at this school have been dedicated to the density of topological defects formed at a phase transition. Here, I will mostly be concerned with the distribution of defects formed at a phase transition. I will start with a description of the usual procedure to study the formation of defects (focussing on the case of strings), point out some shortcomings, and then move on to descri...
متن کاملSurface defects and temperature on atomic friction.
We present a theoretical study of the effect of surface defects on atomic friction in the stick-slip dynamical regime of a minimalistic model. We focus on how the presence of defects and temperature change the average properties of the system. We have identified two main mechanisms which modify the mean friction force of the system when defects are considered. As expected, defects change the po...
متن کاملUltrasonic scaler oscillations and tooth-surface defects.
Damage to tooth root surfaces may occur during ultrasonic cleaning with both piezoelectric and magnetostrictive ultrasonic scalers. It is unclear which mechanism causes more damage or how their mechanism of action leads to such damage. Our null hypothesis is that tooth-surface defect dimensions, resulting from instrumentation with ultrasonic scalers, are independent of whether the scaler probe ...
