Alumina matrix was prepared with varying amounts of metal molybdenum particles of two different grain sizes. R-curves were determined during stable crack propagation and a piezo-spectroscopic technique was used to assess the bridging stresses developed along the crack wake (at the metal/matrix interface) at the critical condition for crack propagation. In both kinds of composites, the toughness monotonically increases with the amount of molybdenum added. In addition, bridging stress and therefore toughness were higher when coarser particles were present. The theoretical R-curves calculated from the discrete (microscopic) bridging stress distribution obtained by in situ Raman spectroscopy were in good agreement with the experimental data.

AbstractThe current voltage characteristics of C60 thin film sandwich structures fabricated by vacuum deposition on indium tin oxide (ITO) with an aluminium top electrode are presented and discussed. A strongly non-linear behavior and a sharp increase in the device conductivity was observed at relatively low voltages (∼2V), at both room and low temperatures (20K). At room temperature the system is seen to collapse, and in situ Raman measurements indicate a solid state reduction of the fullerene thin film to form a polymeric state. The high conductivity state was seen to be stable at elevated voltages and low temperatures. This state is seen to be reversible with the application of high voltages. At these high voltages the C60 film was seen to sporadically emit white light at randomly localized points analogous to the much documented Electroluminescence in single crystals.
