  1. Why You Should Care About Crystals

    Animations | 21 Aug 2022 | Contributor(s):: Aerielle Rodriguez, Rice University

    Why are Crystals important for material engineering? This project tested different crystals with varying band gaps in order to demonstrate the relationship between observable optical properties and physical properties of crystals.

  2. In-situ carbon nanotube tensile test

    Animations | 07 Oct 2011 | Contributor(s):: Brian Demczyk

    This represents the first in-situ tensile test observed in a transmission electron microscope.

  3. Center of Excellence on Novel Materials (CENM) Overview Video

    Animations | 11 Oct 2010 | Contributor(s):: Pedro Antonio Prieto

    The CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR NOVEL MATERIALS (CENM) is part of a high-priority national effort supported primarily by COLCIENCIAS and integrated by 19 recognized multidisciplinary research groups from 10 universities across Columbia.

  4. Band Structure Lab Demonstration: Bulk Strain

    Animations | 12 Jun 2009 | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck

    This video shows an electronic structure calculation of bulk Si using Band Structure Lab. Several powerful features of this tool are demonstrated.

  5. How Semiconductors and Transistors Work

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 20 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    This animation shows how semiconductor crystals work and how they are used to make transistor switches.

  6. Molecular Beam Epitaxy

    4.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    Microelectronic devices are made by repeating two steps: 1) Depositing a thin uniform layer of material; 2) Then using a photographic process to pattern and remove unwanted areas of that layer.

  7. Scanning Electron Microscope

    5.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    This resource describes a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It includes detailed depictions of how the electron beam is focused and used to create hugely magnified images of experimental specimens.

  8. Scanning Probe Microscope Piezoelectric Crystals

    5.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    In this resource we disassemble the piezoelectric assembly of a scanning probe microscope. At its core is a white cylinder of the piezoelectric material. If you look closely, it has a granular texture that reflects the fact that it is actually made up of many small crystals.

  9. Scanning Probe Microscope Operation

    5.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs) include Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs or STEMs). They are the only instruments in widespread use that can actually "see" single atoms! You can skim this resource quickly to learn the general concepts of SPMs, or you can...

  10. Fabrication of a MOSFET within a Microprocessor

    4.5 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    This resource depicts the step-by-step process by which the transistors of an integrated circuit are made.
