Indentation methods are finding increasing use in the study of mechanical properties of bulk and thin-film materials over a wide range of size scales (e.g., [1,2]). With the increasing sophistication of instrumented, depth-sensing indentation equipment and of computational methods to model the deformation of materials subjected to indentation, there is growing interest in studying the elastopla...

For modern agriculture Food Production Systems (FPS) to feed the expanding population, improving Nutrient Usage Efficiency (NUE) with little environmental risk has become essential. A novel approach problem of poor or falling Use a impact emerged: nanotechnology nanoscale inputs for development Nano Agri-Inputs (NAIPs). The study holds great promise providing intensive long-lasting solutions it...

The effects of lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) nano-particles on the electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties copper-based nanocomposites (Cu-LaB6) produced using microwave sintering (MS) spark plasma (SPS) processes were investigated in this study. Nano LaB6 particles reduced electrical conductivity Cu matrix via MS SPS by 20% 13%, respectively. Cu-LaB6 had lower thermal than unreinforced Cu...

The aim of this research work is to evaluate the effects of coolant including nano- powder material for the cooling purpose in milling process and comparing the results with the conventional coolant. Generation heat and weak heat transfer reduces the tool life and also deteriorate surface roughness during milling operation. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to use coolant for cooling as...

Nanostructured films of copper, zinc, and nickel oxides were obtained from a controlled oxidation the ternary silver (Cu-Zn-Ni) substrates through one-pot, green, low temperature vapor-based treatment. Brief contact alloy with ammonia hydrogen peroxide vapors at room originates mixture nanometric its surface. The growths evolve time temperature, generating layered film highly dispersed copper n...

We report on gigahertz acoustic phonon waveguiding in free-standing single copper nanowires studied by femtosecond transient reflectivity measurements. The results are discussed on the basis of the semianalytical resolution of the Pochhammer and Chree equation. The spreading of the generated Gaussian wave packet of two different modes is derived analytically and compared with the observed oscil...

This paper describes the semi-quantitative analysis of metal nanoparticle ink using laserinduced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). LIBS can be used to obtain information about the density and chemical composition of silver particles or copper particles, even ultrafine particles. Metal particles have been attracting much attention because of their increased use in new micro-nano technologies. In th...
