On the Dislocation Theory of Plastic Deformation
A detailed study has been made of the lattice imperfections which are assumed to account for plastic deformation. Calculations of the strain energy associated with these disloca...
Direct measurement of diffusion by hot tunneling microscopy: Activation energy, anisotropy, and long jumps
We measure the activation energy for surface diffusion of isolated Pb adatoms on Ge(111) by observing individual atomic interchanges using a scanning tunneling microscope. The d...
Thermal Diffusion Processes in Metal-Tip-Surface Interactions: Contact Formation and Adatom Mobility
We have carried out computer simulations to identify and characterize various thermally activated atomic scale processes that can play an important role in room temperature expe...
The Mechanical Properties of Metals
A description is given of edge and screw dislocations in a close-packed cubic lattice, which leads up to an account of the theory of Frank and Read of the origin of slip bands. ...
Structural properties of self-organized semiconductor nanostructures
Instabilities in semiconductor heterostructure growth can be exploited for the self-organized formation of nanostructures, allowing for carrier confinement in all three spatial ...
