1. 6. Atomic-scale modelling of interfaces in cemented carbides: wetting and strength

   Författare :Martin Gren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; adhesion; density functional theory; hardmetals; cemented carbides; WC-Co; surfaces; interfaces; grain boundaries; wetting; phase boundaries;

   Sammanfattning : Cemented carbides are composite materials of great technological and industrial importance. They have a unique combination of hardness and toughness and are therefore used widely as tool materials in applications where both high hardness and toughness are demanded. These applications include among others: mining, turning, cutting and milling. LÄS MER

3. 7. Formation stability and electronic structure of surfaces and interfaces from first principles

4. 8. Nanoscale Crystal Growth: The Importance of Interfaces and Phase Boundaries Kristallväxt på Nanometer Skala: Vikten av Ytor och Gränser

   Författare :Brent Wacaser; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; kristallografi; fasjämvikt; Semiconductory physics; Halvledarfysik; thermal and mechanical properties; crystallography; phase equilibria; Kondenserade materiens egenskaper:struktur; egenskaper termiska och mekaniska ; Condensed matter:stucture; Fysik; Physics; epitaxy; VLS; MOVPE; CBE; nanostructures; crystal growth; nanowires; III-V semiconductors; growth mechanism; MBE; Material technology; Materiallära; materialteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Surfaces and interfaces have a special significance to nanotechnology because the surface/volume ratio of nanomaterials is larger than for bulk materials. Therefore, interfaces of nanomaterials are usually more important to the properties of nanomaterials than for larger scale materials. LÄS MER

5. 9. Topographical Impact on Space Charge Injection, Accumulation and Breakdown in Polymeric HVDC Cable Interfaces

   Författare :Espen Doedens; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; interfaces; XLPE; roughness; cable peelings; polymer surfaces; space charge; field enhancement factor; PEA; DC breakdown; extruded cable; roughness enhanced charge injection; HVDC; charge injection;

   Sammanfattning : Extruded HVDC cable systems feature a variety of interface types, for which physio-chemical properties will depend on the type of application. Such applications can be joints, terminations or the cable itself, all introducing different material combinations and manufacturing methods. LÄS MER

7. 10. Multiscale Modeling of Interfaces

   Författare :Sven Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; misfit; Peierls-Nabarro model; semicoherent interfaces; interfaces; cemented carbides; grain boundaries; microstructure; VN precipitates; density-functional theory;

   Sammanfattning : Understanding strength and stability of interfaces between dissimilar materials or phases is a highly active field of contemporary materials research. Knowledge of interface structure and energetics is important for modeling of complex materials both on a mechanical and thermodynamical level as well as for many functional properties. LÄS MER
