interfacial dislocation
1Grain boundary — A grain boundary is the interface between two grains in a polycrystalline material. Grain boundaries disrupt the motion of dislocations through a material, so reducing crystallite size is a common way to improve strength, as described by the Hall …

3materials science — the study of the characteristics and uses of various materials, as glass, plastics, and metals. [1960 65] * * * Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material s composition and structure, both… …
4Diffraction topography — (short: topography ) is an X ray imaging technique based on Bragg diffraction. Diffraction topographic images ( topographs ) record the intensity profile of a beam of X rays (or, sometimes, neutrons) diffracted by a crystal. A topograph thus… …
5Strengthening mechanisms of materials — Methods have been devised to modify the yield strength, ductility, and toughness of both crystalline and amorphous materials. These strengthening mechanisms give engineers the ability to tailor the mechanical properties of materials to suit a… …
6Precipitation hardening — Precipitation hardening, also called age hardening, is a heat treatment technique used to increase the yield strength of malleable materials, including most structural alloys of aluminium, magnesium, nickel and titanium, and some stainless steels …
7Stranski-Krastanov growth — (SK growth, also Stransky Krastanov or Stranski Krastanow) is one of the three primary modes by which thin films grow epitaxially at a crystal surface or interface. Also known as layer plus island growth , the SK mode follows a two step process:… …
8Crystal structure — In mineralogy and crystallography, crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystalline liquid or solid. A crystal structure is composed of a pattern, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way, and a lattice… …
9Metal oxide adhesion — The strength of metal oxide adhesion effectively determines the wetting of the metal oxide interface. The strength of this adhesion is important, for instance, in production of light bulbs and fiber matrix composites that depend on the… …
10Crystallite — Galvanized surface with visible crystallites of zinc. Crystallites in the steel under the coating are microscopic. Crystallites are small, often microscopic crystals that, held together through highly defective boundaries, constitute a… …
