In this paper, we mainly present a new simple, efficient and nondestructive Raman scattering analysis method to study the distribution of strain in SiGe alloy films. The method can simultaneously determine both Ge fractional composition x and strain of SiGe films. We use the Ar+ laser lines (514.5, 488 and 457.9 nm) to detect the information of different depth of SiGe layers. The results show t...

In this work, repaired crack in 6061T6 aluminum plate with composite patches presented, firstly we determine the displacement, strain and stress, also the first six mode shape of the plate, secondly we took the same model adding central crack initiation, which is located in the center of the plate, its seize vary from 20 mm to 60 mm and we compare the first results with second. Thirdly we repai...

A hard disk medium is typically composed of several layers including the magnetic recording layer, a buffer layer, as well as a wear protective layer. In the work presented here, the hard disks analysed have a total of five layers with the uppermost layer being the lubricant. The second layer is diamond like coating and this is followed by the magnetic layer consisting of an alloy of cobalt and...

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials consist of covalently bonded 2D atomic layers stacked by van der Waals interactions. Such anisotropic bonding nature gives rise to the orientation-dependent functionalities of the 2D layered materials. Different from most studies of 2D materials with their atomic layers parallel to substrate, we have recently developed layer vertically aligned 2D material ...

Statistics of one-dimensional disordering of polytypes formed under phase transformation of a displacive type of Co-alloys was studied. Discovered polytypes with a short-range order in close-packed atomic layers allowed to propose a mechanism of their formation by noncoherent displacements in the initial polymorphous modification along close-packed planes. Significant dependence of polytype str...

The optical properties of InGaN/GaN laser diode based on quaternary alloys stopper and superlattice layers are numerically studied using ISE TCAD (Integrated System Engineering) simulation program. Improvements in laser optical performance have been achieved using quaternary alloy as superlattice layers in InGaN/GaN laser diodes. Lower threshold current of 18 mA and higher output power and slop...

This paper summarizes and reviews the findings of our research on AM60B magnesium alloy conducted in past 8 years. It essentially covers three categories: microstructural study, environmental effect, and fatigue crack growth rate of AM60B. The experimental and numerical studies on the influence of casting defects on this particular material’s properties are reviewed in the first part. It has be...
