Abstract: This paper models the domain dynamics in a ferroelastic epilayer within the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) framework. Constrained on a paraelastic substrate of square symmetry, the epilayer ...

Abstract: Certain organic molecules, such as alkanethiols, can adsorb on metals to form monolayers. Sometimes domains appear in the monolayers. For example, an incomplete monolayer may form islands, and ...

Abstract: The accuracy of the Oliver–Pharr approach for nanoindentation experiments critically depends on the interfacial friction condition. Although Coulomb friction is often used in finite element simulations ...
