Andrew Rappe’s Work in Improving Lithium Batteries
PICS professor Andrew Rappe and Rappe’s research group, alongside researchers from the Max Planck Institue and the University of Cambridge have recently released a paper that, according to Penn Today, “demonstrated the growth of high-quality, single-crystal layers of T-Nb2O5, aligned in a way that allows lithium ions to move significantly faster.” How quickly lithium ions…

The Bassani Group has published a new paper: “Finite deformation near a crack tip terminated at an interface between two neo-Hookean sheets”
This work was published in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. Abstract A crack terminating at an arbitrary angle to the interface between two neo-Hookean sheets is investigated under plane stress conditions using finite deformation theory. The asymptotic crack-tip deformation and stress fields are analyzed as a function of the ratio of the moduli…

The Bassani Group has a paper out in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids: “Exploiting interface patterning for adhesion control.”
The Bassani Group has a paper out in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids Abstract Surface force-mediated adhesion, e.g. via van der Waals forces, is critical for direct bonding of bulk solids in the absence of chemical bonding or an adhesive layer. However, no two surfaces are ideally flat or perfectly conformal due to surface…

“Relationships between structure, memory and flow in sheared disordered materials”
Members of the Reina Group, The Jerolmack Group, and the Arratia Group have worked together on a new paper in Nature Physics. Abstract:A fundamental challenge regarding disordered solids is predicting macroscopic yield—the point at which elastic behaviour changes to plastic behaviour—from the microscopic arrangements of constituent particles. Yield is accompanied by a sudden and large…
