Smallest earthquakes ever observed in micron-scale metals

On the micrometer scale, deformation properties of metals change profoundly due to the complex intermittent redistribution of lattice dislocations caused by external loading. This results in the formation of the uneven step-like surface upon deformation. To study this phenomenon, research groups of the Eötvös Loránd University of Budapest, Charles University of Prague and École des […]
