Intrinsic structural transitions of the pyramidal I < c plus a > dislocation in magnesium

The stability of a mixed < c + a > dislocation on the pyramidal I plane in magnesium is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The dislocation is metastable and undergoes a thermally-activated transition to either a sessile, basal-dissociated < c + ...

In-situ Laue diffraction to follow dislocation patterning during fatigue

Ainara Irastorza Landa

The macroscopic strength of metals is determined by the dislocation arrangements that are formed when dislocations slip in the crystal lattice in response to the applied stress. Despite the extensive research carried out, the transition from uniform to non ...

Three-dimensional electron imaging of dislocations from a single sample tilt

Pascal Fua, Cécile Hébert, Emad Oveisi, Antoine Letouzey

Linear crystal defects called dislocations are one of the most fascinating concepts in materials science that govern mechanical and optoelectronic properties of many materials across a broad range of application. Three-dimensional (3-D) study of dislocatio ...

Exciton dynamics at a single dislocation in GaN probed by picosecond time-resolved cathodoluminescence

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Gwénolé Jean Jacopin, Wei Liu

We investigate the dynamics of donor bound excitons (D degrees X-A) at T = 10K around an isolated single edge dislocation in homoepitaxial GaN, using a picosecond time-resolved cathodoluminescence (TR-CL) setup with high temporal and spatial resolutions. A ...

Physics-based constitutive modelling for crystal plasticity finite element computation of cyclic plasticity in fatigue

Nicolò Grilli

Metal fatigue during cyclic loading puts an endurance limit on most of today's technology. It impacts the reliability of metallic components used for transportation, electronic devices and energy production because fatigue failure can occur without any app ...

Hydrogen–vacancy–dislocation interactions in α-Fe

William Curtin, Ali Tehranchi, Xi Zhang

Atomistic simulations of the interactions between dislocations, hydrogen atoms, and vacancies are studied to assess the viability of a recently proposed mechanism for the formation of nanoscale voids in Fe-based steels in the presence of hydrogen. Quantum- ...

Selective heteroepitaxy on deeply grooved substrate: A route to low cost semipolar GaN platforms of bulk quality

Nicolas Grandjean, Denis Martin

Semipolar GaN crystal stripes larger than 100 mu m with dislocation densities below 5 x 10(6) cm(-2) are achieved using a low cost fabrication process. An original sapphire patterning procedure is proposed, enabling selective growth of semipolar oriented G ...

Nanocrystalline metals: transient testing during in situ X-ray diffraction and molecular dynamics

Zhen Sun

Nanocrystalline (NC) metals have attracted widespread interest in materials science due to their high strength compared to coarse-grained counterparts. It is well know that during uniaxial deformation, the stress-strain behaviour exhibits an extraordinary ...

Wedge-shaped twins and pseudoelasticity in fcc metallic nanowires under bending

Wolfram Georg Nöhring

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the deformation mechanisms of < 110 >-oriented, faceted Cu and Au nanowires under bending along three different crystallographic directions. Independent of the bending direction, the stress field is ch ...

Following dislocation patterning during fatigue

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Nicolò Grilli, Ainara Irastorza Landa

Precursors of failure are dislocation mechanisms at the nanoscale and dislocation organization at the mesoscale responsible for long-range internal stresses and lattice rotation. Detailed information on the link between both scales is missing, computationa ...
