Brillouin spectroscopy and imaging has experienced a renaissance in recent years seeing vast improvements in methodology and increasing number of applications. With this resurgence has come the development of new spontaneous ...

Biomechanical properties of mammalian bones, such as strength, toughness, and plasticity, are essential for understanding how microscopic-scale mechanical features can link to macroscale bones’ strength and fracture ...

An approach is presented for calculating thermoelastic generation of ultrasound in a metal plate exposed to nanosecond pulsed laser heating, sufficient to cause melting but not ablation. Detailed consideration is given to ...

Silicon is the heart of modern electronics and due to it is high theoretical storage capacity it also attracted much attention as a possible anode material for the next generation Li-ion batteries. Heat conduction is one ...

Anisotropic thermal transport behavior was investigated in a single crystal sapphire patterned by vertically aligned few-nanometer diameter and several micrometer long cylindrical ion tracks. These ion tracks were introduced ...
