The quality of crystalline two-dimensional (2D) polymers1-6 is intimately related to the elusive polymerization and crystallization processes. Understanding the mechanism of such processes at the (sub)molecular level is crucial to improve predictive synthesis and to tailor material properties for applications in catalysis7-10 and (opto)electronics1...
Owing to the presence of large fraction of grain boundaries, deformation-induced grain growth is commonly observed in fine-grained electrodeposited metals. Here we demonstrate that microcrystalline copper (d similar to 1-10 mu m) with different textures produced by electrodeposition exhibit significant deformation-induced grain growth in tension by...
Fine Cu interconnects possess small grains that increase the electrical resistivity of the interconnects. We have performed an extensive transmission electron microscopy study of the grain growth in lines of different sizes, using a recently developed automated indexing method. Different annealing processes were conducted, some with the presence of...
Permanent deformation, which occurs during recrystallization and grain growth under an applied stress much smaller than the yield stress of the material, was observed by dilatometric measurement and modelled on the basis of a migrating grain boundary diffusion mechanism. The observation confirmed that the transformation-induced deformation accompan...
