1. Nanomechnics of crystalline materials : experiments and computations

Van Vliet, Krystyn J. (Krystyn Joy), 1976-,

In this thesis, experimental, computational and analytical approaches are employed to examine systematically the mechanisms of deformation in crystalline materials. Such insight can be used to exploit...

2. Advanced materials, process, and designs for silicon photonic integration

Sun, Rong, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology,

The copper (Cu) interconnect has become the bottleneck for bandwidth scaling due to its increasing RC time constant with the decreasing gate line width. Currently, silicon based optical interconnect i...

3. Materials production economics : an examination of the variables and relationships that drive materials production and recycling in the world economy

King, Yao-Chung,

by Yao-Chung King. Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, 2006. Includes bibliographical references (p. 29).

4. Phase transformations and microstructural design of lithiated metal anodes for lithium-ion rechargeable batteries

Limthongkul, Pimpa, 1975-,

There has been great recent interest in lithium storage at the anode of Li-ion rechargeable battery by alloying with metals such as Al, Sn, and Sb, or metalloids such as Si, as an alternative to the i...

6. Indentation of plastically graded materials

Choi, In-Suk, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology,

The introduction of certain controlled gradients in plastic properties is known to promote resistance to the onset of damage at contact surfaces during some tribological applications. Gradients in com...

7. Designing new electrode materials for energy devices by integrating ab initio computations with experiments

Kang, Kisuk,

Utilization of Ni2+/Ni4+ double redox couple in electrochemical reactions has been tested as a way to gauge useful properties such as high capacity in electrode materials. The feasibility of a Ni2+/Ni...

8. Size dependence of mechanical responses of materials in small-volume structures

Choi, Yoonjoon, 1967-,

The effect of length scales on mechanical responses of materials in small-volume structures, such as thin films and patterned lines on substrates, is examined. The understanding of stress evolution an...

9. Percolation and homogenization theories for heterogeneous materials

Chen, Ying, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology,

Most materials produced by Nature and by human beings are heterogeneous. They contain domains of different states, structures, compositions, or material phases. How these different domains are distrib...
