Obstacle strength of binary junction due to dislocation dipole formation: An in-situ transmission electron microscopy study

We report the experimental observation of the 1/2 < 111 > edge dislocation dipole formation and annihilation in ultra-high purity Fe using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in-situ straining. The observation is confirmed by TEM image simulations. The ...

Atomistic simulation of the a(0) < 1 0 0 > binary junction formation and its unzipping in body-centered cubic iron

Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

Molecular dynamics simulation is used to study the formation of the a(0) < 1 0 0 > binary dislocation junction in body-centered cubic Fe. Results show that under an applied strain two intersecting 1/2 a(0) < 1 1 1 > dislocations, one mobile edge and one im ...

Molecular dynamics study of strengthening by nanometric void and Cr alloying in Fe

Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

Ferritic steels are the main candidates for the structural components of future fusion reactors. Because of the complexity of their structure, most of the simulation works are focused on the base phase of these materials such as alpha-Fe or Fe-Cr alloy. In ...

In situ transmission electron microscopy of the interaction between a moving dislocation and obstacles of dislocation character in pure iron

Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

In this study, we report our observation of the interaction between a moving dislocation and an obstacle of dislocation character in pure bcc-Fe using a TEM in situ straining experiment at room temperature. Our observations reveal that the interaction of a ...

Atomistic simulation of the influence of Cr on the mobility of the edge dislocation in Fe(Cr) alloys

Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

In this work Fe-Cr compounds, as model alloys for the ferritic base steels that are considered as main candidates for the structural materials of the future fusion reactors, are studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The Cr or so-called alpha' preci ...

Multiscale Modelling of Irradiation Induced Effects on the Plasticity of Fe and Fe-Cr

Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

Degradation of mechanical properties due to nanometric irradiation induced defects is one of the challenging issues in designing ferritic materials for future nuclear fusion reactors. Various types of defects, namely dislocation loops, voids, He bubbles an ...

Strengthening due to Cr-rich precipitates in Fe–Cr alloys: Effect of temperature and precipitate composition

Robin Schäublin, Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to study the interaction between nanometric Cr precipitates and a 1/2 < 111 >>{110} edge dislocation (ED) in pure Fe and Fe-9 at. % Cr (Fe-9Cr) random alloy. The aim of this work is to estimate the vari ...

Influence of the stress field due to pressurized nanometric He bubbles on the mobility of an edge dislocation in iron

Robin Schäublin, Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

Voids and He bubbles are strong obstacles to dislocation, which induce hardening and loss of ductility. In Fe, molecular dynamics simulation is used to investigate the basic mechanisms of the interaction between a moving edge dislocation and a void or He b ...

State of a pressurized helium bubble in iron

Robin Schäublin, Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat, Guillaume Lucas

We study the state of a nanometric helium bubble in bcc-iron as a function of temperature and He content using atomistic calculations. It appears that up to moderate temperatures the Fe lattice can conﬁne He to solid state, in good agreement with known sol ...

Dislocation-void interaction in Fe: a comparison between molecular dynamics and dislocation dynamics

Robin Schäublin, Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

Multiscale modeling, including molecular dynamics (MD) and discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) methods, appears as a signiﬁcant tool for the description of plasticity and mechanical properties of materials. This research concerns the inﬂuence of irradiatio ...
