Metals currently used for prosthetic reconstructions (e.g. titanium) enjoy a relatively good success rate, but their performance drops significantly in patients with compromised health status, and post-surgical infections still remain an important challenge. In addition, there are still no such metals that are able to respond to any deterioration of their relationship with the host tissue. To...

We present x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy experiments on a set of soft glassy solids, including concentrated nanocolloidal gels, nanoemulsions, and Laponite clay suspensions, subject to in-situ oscillatory shear strain that provide insight into particle rearrangements above yielding at the nanometer scale and their connection to dynamical and mechanical behaviour of the materials. The...

The deformation of most types of metals involves an irreversible flow of crystallographic dislocations. This allows for their ductility. The deformation of a metallic shape memory alloy (SMA), on the other hand, is accommodated by a solid-solid phase transition. If deformed in the low-temperature martensitic phase, an SMA can be returned to its original shape by raising its temperature to the...

In a nanoscale friction experiment, the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever is dragged along an atomically flat surface, and the resulting friction force is measured optically from the cantilever deformation. Due to the small size of the system, thermal noise effects coming from the atomistic degrees of freedom play an important role. In this talk, the ideas of stochastic...
