A TEM Heart Transplant: The Development of a User Adjustable Pole-piece (UAP)
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) have massively accelerated progress in many areas of science, particularly biology and material science. Atomic-scale resolution was achieved soon after the invention of the TEM, ... -
Mechanical Characterisation of Printed Nanosheet Network Thin Films
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)The response of materials to applied stress and the resulting deformation is a fundamental cornerstone of condensed matter physics and materials research. From exciting new prospects such as the conductive nanosheet ... -
Modelling electromechanical properties of 2D materials and heterostructures
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)Strain, both naturally occurring and deliberately engineered, can have a considerable effect on the structural, electronic, and transport properties of 2D and layered materials. Uniaxial or biaxial heterostrain (i.e. ... -
The Jacobi-Legendre framework for Machine Learning in Materials Investigation and Discovery
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)Machine-learning models have rapidly become fundamental tools in the study of materials properties. In the past few years there has been a surge of interest in the construction of new models and descriptors to accelerate ... -
Arrangements of lines of hard and soft spheres in confinement
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)Chains of particles, ranging from one-dimensional to three-dimensional structures, offer an avenue of research spanning condensed matter physics to microengineering, providing insights into material behaviour across diverse ...
