The ability to image the grain structure in graphene monolayers easily opens the door to the systematic exploration of the effects of grain structure on the physical, chemical, optical and electronic ...

Nowadays, most studies utilizing diffraction contrast tomography, either in the lab or at the synchrotron, have concentrated on relatively low-aspect-ratio samples, usually rectangular or cylindrical ...

The study of grain boundary phase transitions is an emerging field until recently dominated by experiments. The major bottleneck in the exploration of this phenomenon with atomistic modeling has been ...

While predetermining mechanical properties supports this process, specifying grain size means that post-processing steps including drawing, coining, stamping, and machining turn-over lower scrap rates ...
