Abstract:
1. A polycrystalline mesoscale component having an overall length L divided into at least a first segment and a second segment, the second segment extending from the first segment at a nonlinear angle, the first segment having a first segment height H 1 , and a first segment thickness T 1 , the second segment having a second segment height H 2 and a second segment thickness T 2 , the lesser of H 1 and H 2 defining a minimum segment height H min and the lesser of T 1 and T 2 defining a minimum segment thickness T min , the component having a ratio of L:H min :T min of 20-80:1:0.5-10 where the H min is between 5 and 500 microns.
