Hysteresis in the deformation of layered crystal structures
The aim of this proposal is to study the origin of the hysteresis effect in many layered crystal structures, in particular MAX-phases, such as Ti2AlC. This effect has been... -
Non-uniform elastic deformation of layered crystal structures
The aim of the experiment is to determine the relative compressibility of the structural layers in three 211 MAX phases (Ti2AlC, Ta2AlC and Cr2AlC) using the PEARL-HiPr beam... -
Non-uniform elastic deformation of layered crystal structures
The experiment will resolve a discrepancy between earlier experiments carried out very recently by us and work elsewhere on the hydrostatic compression of a series of 211...
