Elastic Moduli of Ultrathin Amorphous Polymer Films

The elastic moduli of ultrathin poly(styrene) (PS) and poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) films of thickness ranging from 200 nm to 5 nm were investigated using a buckling-based metrology. Below 40 nm, the apparent modulus of the PS and PMMA films decreases dramatically, with an order of magnitude decrease compared to bulk values for the thinnest films measured. We can account for the observed dec...

Compositional variation of the phonon dispersion curves of bcc Fe-Ga alloys

Inelastic neutron scattering techniques have been used to measure the phonon dispersion curves of bcc Fe1−xGax (x=10.8, 13.3, 16.0, 22.5) alloys as a function of Ga concentration. The phonon frequencies of every branch were found to decrease significantly with increasing Ga concentration. The softening was most pronounced for the T2[ξξ0] branch and, to a lesser extent, the L[ξξξ] branch in the ...

Phonon dispersion and elastic moduli of two-dimensional disordered colloidal packings of soft particles with frictional interactions.

Particle tracking and displacement covariance matrix techniques are employed to investigate the phonon dispersion relations of two-dimensional colloidal glasses composed of soft, thermoresponsive microgel particles whose temperature-sensitive size permits in situ variation of particle packing fraction. Bulk, B, and shear, G, moduli of the colloidal glasses are extracted from the dispersion rela...
