On the shock response of cubic metals
N. K. Bourne, G. T. Gray, III, and J. C. F. Millett
The response of four cubic metals to shock loading is reviewed in order to understand the effects of microstructure on continuum response. A comparison of the behavior of these four materials illustrates the role of defect generation, transport, storage, and interaction in determining the response of materials to shock prestraining.
Photonic guiding structures in lithium niobate crystals produced by energetic ion beams
Feng Chen
This paper reviews the up-to-date research progress of ion-beam-processed LiNbO3 photonic structures and reports on their fabrication and characterization. The application of these LiNbO3 photonic guiding structures in both micro- and nanophotonics is briefly summarized.
