RISAnnealing Effect on the Shape Memory Properties of Amorphous NiTi Thin Films
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thin film shape memory alloys have recently become a promising material for the actuation of devices on the microscale such as micropumps and microvalves. Their utilization, however, has been ...
Transmission Welding of Glass by Femtosecond Laser: Mechanism and Fracture Strength
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Femtosecond laser pulses were focused on the interface of two glass specimens. Proper use of optical and laser processing parameters enables transmission welding. The morphology of the weld cross ...
Characterization and Prediction of Texture in Laser Annealed NiTi Shape Memory Thin Films
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thin film shape memory alloys are a promising material for use in microscale devices for actuation and sensing due to their strong actuating force, substantial displacements, and large surface ...
Femtosecond Laser-Induced Simultaneous Surface Texturing and Crystallization of a-Si:H Thin Film: Absorption and Crystallinity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films have been considered for use in solar cell applications because of their significantly reduced cost. Their overall efficiency and stability, ...
