This model describes the structure of the material in terms of structural levels, ranging from single particles to clusters.
That changed the crystalline structure of the material, and its performance deteriorated.
The structure of the material allows electrons to shoot along channels with no resistance whatsoever.
What happens then depends upon the internal structure of the material.
The property modification is usually brought about by a change in the microscopic structure of the material.
He and his group are trying to understand the atomic structure of the material so that they can harness it to make a solar cell.
These "microexplosions" alter the structure of the material on the nanometer scale creating features with applications in data storage, optical communication, and medicine.
The molecules easily break apart, but then when they reconnect, the bonds reorganize themselves and restore the structure of the material after it gets damaged, he said.
Over time, because of the constant bombardment of cosmic rays, other high-energy particles and micrometeorites, the structure of the material changes and iron particles tend to predominate, making the material slightly red.
Biocompatibility depends on the physical structure of the material and physicochemical properties of the interface to the biosystem.
EBSD results showed that the initial structure of the material contained retained austenite as the main phase besides martensite phase.
