Brittle fracture studied by ultra-high speed synchrotron X-ray diffraction imaging
Antoine Petit, Sylvia Pokam, Frederic Mazen +7
Ever since the very first human-made knapped tools, the control of fracture propagation in brittle materials has been a vector of technological development. Nowadays, a broad range…
Interfacial closure of contacting surfaces
F. Rieutord, C. Rauer, H. Moriceau
Understanding the contact between solid surfaces is a long standing problem which has a strong impact on the physics of many processes such as adhesion, friction, lubrication and w…
Accurate strain measurements in highly strained Ge microbridges
A. Gassenq, S. Tardif, K. Guilloy +16
Ge under high strain is predicted to become a direct bandgap semiconductor. Very large deformations can be introduced using microbridge devices. However, at the microscale, strain…
Uniaxially stressed germanium with fundamental direct band gap
R. Geiger, T. Zabel, E. Marin +17
We demonstrate the crossover from indirect- to direct band gap in tensile-strained germanium by temperature-dependent photoluminescence. The samples are strained microbridges that…
Pairing evidence of 8CB molecules adsorbed on MoS2: Influence of 2D commensurability on the intralamellar structure
E. Lacaze, M. Alba, M. Goldmann +2
By combining X-ray diffraction studies under grazing incidence (GIXD) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) measurements, we have precisely determined the structure of 8CB molecu…
Investigating liquid surfaces down to the nanometer scale using grazing incidence x-ray scattering
C. Fradin, A. Braslau, D. Luzet +8
Grazing incidence x-ray surface scattering has been used to investigate liquid surfaces down to the molecular scale. The free surface of water is well described by the capillary wa…
