Blistering of tungsten films deposited by magnetron sputtering after helium irradiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the differences in blistering on surface between as-deposited and pre-annealed tungsten films were measured by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.

Influence of surface morphology and microstructure on performance of CVD tungsten coating under fusion transient thermal loads

TL;DR: In this article, a series of tungsten coatings with different thickness and surface morphology were prepared and thermal shock analyses were performed by using an electron beam facility to study the influence of the surface morphology and the microstructure on the thermal shock resistance of the CVD Tungsten materials.

An improved technique for determining hardness and elastic modulus using load and displacement sensing indentation experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Berkovich indenter to determine hardness and elastic modulus from indentation load-displacement data, and showed that the curve of the curve is not linear, even in the initial stages of the unloading process.
Journal ArticleDOI

A 2dvEv- bit distributed algorithm for the directed Euler trail problem

TL;DR: The algorithm can be used as a building block for solving other distributed graph problems, and can be slightly modified to run on a strongly-connected diagraph for generating the existent Euler trail or to report that no Euler trails exist.

The intrinsic stress of polycrystalline and epitaxial thin metal films

TL;DR: In this article, a thorough discussion of today's understanding of the growth of thin metal films and related atomistic mechanisms responsible for intrinsic stress is presented, where the intrinsic stress either originates from strained regions within the films (grain boundaries, dislocations, voids, impurities, etc.) or at the film/substrate (lattice mismatch, different thermal expansion, etc).

Influence of substrate temperature and deposition rate on structure of thick sputtered Cu coatings

TL;DR: Thor Thornton et al. as discussed by the authors used hollow and post-type cathode sputtering apparatuses at argon pressures of 1 and 30 mTorr to evaluate OFHC copper coatings on copper, tantalum, and stainless steel substrates.
