Thin film single crystal growth of metastable semiconducting (GaSb)(,1-x)(Ge(,2))(,x), Ge(,1-x)Sn(,x), and (GaSb)(,(1-x))(Ge(,2(1-y))Sn(,2y))(,x) alloys is studied as a function of growth parameters. The effects of low-energy ...

The group VB bcc metal-hydrogen systems have been extensively studied in the last few years. These studies are relevant to nuclear-reactor technology, superconductivity, and energy storage devices. The elements nitrogen ...

The deformation of thin films of polybutene (PB) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF$\sb2$) occurs by micronecking. Finite blocks are drawn off the edge of the microneck depending upon the orientation of the original ...
