AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...
One well-known example of such material defect that has been studied extensively over the past century, Upmanyu says, is a dislocation. It occurs when an entire atomic plane is missing from a ...
Semiconductors may be small, but the impacts they have are significant. Semiconductors used in life-dependent applications, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, life support systems, automotive safety ...
