Theory of double-kink nucleation in dilute BCC alloys

William Curtin, Alireza Ghafarollahi

Yielding in pure BCC metals and dilute substitutional alloys occurs by double-kink nucleation and propagation along screw dislocations. At low temperatures, the yield stress is controlled by double-kink nucleation. Here, an analytical statistical model is ...

Efficient Hydrogen Oxidation Catalyzed by Strain-Engineered Nickel Nanoparticles

Xile Hu, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Weiyan Ni, Teng Wang

The hydroxide-exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) is a promising energy conversion device. However, the development of HEMFC is hampered by the lack of platinum-group-metal-free (PGM-free) electrocatalysts for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). Now, a ...
