As is well known, amorphous materials typically have lower density than crystalline phases. As a result, the change in shape and volume for an applied load is anticipated to be greater for ...

If the material is initially amorphous, the molecules will have a random organization ... necking occurs in one region and the molecular structure starts to have the symmetry of a crystalline material ...

MAC is a composite material that incorporates both crystalline and amorphous regions. It is this composite structure that ...

An intense laser or current pulse heats and melts the crystalline material, which is subsequently quenched into the amorphous state. To switch the material back into the crystalline state ...

The image shows an atomic-scale visualization of monolayer amorphous carbon's structure ... resulting in distinct properties not found in crystalline carbon materials. Despite its promise, MAC faces ...

The team has developed a range of engineering materials by assembling amorphous/crystalline micro/nano particles in a specific way. These materials are strong and tough (qualities typically seen as ...

The amorphous phase of AAM appeared to break down further during this process. The researchers successfully demonstrated the conversion of kaolinite, a crystalline 2D material, into a 3D amorphous ...

A research team studied how iridium and palladium nanoparticles can change the properties of catalysts with minor degradation ...
