TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the recent advances, challenges, and prospects of both fundamental and applied aspects of stress in thin films and engineering coatings and systems, based on recent achievements presented during the 2016 Stress Workshop entitled “Stress Evolution in Thin Films and Coatings: from Fundamental Understanding to Control.

TL;DR: A FIB-based lift-out method for preparing atom probe specimens at site specific locations such as coarse precipitates, grain boundaries, interphase interfaces, denuded zones, heat affected zones, implanted, near surface and subsurface regions, shear bands, etc. has been developed.

TL;DR: In this article, carboxylated and fluorinated nanotubes were used to synthesize nanocomposites by dispersing them separately in an epoxy resin and the resulting properties were analyzed using torsional deformation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived elastic constants, electronic density of states, and activation energies for carbon vacancy migration as a function of carbon content to elucidate their effect on the hardening responses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the lattice expansion in nanocrystalline Nb has been simulated by employing a recently proposed model based on linear elasticity and by appropriately modifying it to incorporate a crystallite-size-dependent width of the grain boundary.
