Hild, S.; Huemer, K.; Seidl, B.; Ziegler, A. S.; Fabritius, H.-O.; Raabe, D.: Crustacean cuticle: An example to study the influence of chemical composition and microstructure on the mechanical properties of hierarchically structured biological composite materials. Workshop Prospects in BIONIC, Leoben, Austria (2010)
Solitonic excitations with topological properties in charge density waves may be used as information carriers in novel types of information processing.
In this project, links are being established between local chemical variation and the mechanical response of laser-processed metallic alloys and advanced materials.
