Nanohardness Paper, Are vacancies formed before or after the grains are…

- - - - First studies on the dissimilar metal interfaces for these embedded sensors found elemental compositional profiles across the interfaces
        
        These composition profiles show accelerated interdiffusion above what equilibrium could describe. Elevated concentrations of lattice vacancies must be available at the interface for this to happen
        
        So understanding the nature of the mechanical coupling across the interface it vital toward technical implementation of the strain sensors
        
        Additionally the role of the elevated vacancy concentration on the mechanical properties is of interest
        
        We looked into the mechanical properties of the interface and found that it does not directly correspond to the elemental composition profile found
        
        While the elemental profile had a transition region of ~50nm wide, we found mechanical properties corresponding to a larger transition region of 2-4 um wide
