Experiments on the intrinsic stress in immiscible Cu/W nanomultilayers (NMLs) show two unusual features: a compressive-to-tensile transition as a function of NML deposition conditions and extremely high interface stresses under both high- and low-pressure ...
A/C coupling involves two boundaries: (a) an inner boundary that connects the atomistic and continuum domain and (b) an outer boundary where displacement or force boundary conditions are applied. Here, the lattice Green's function (LGF)–based flexible boun ...
Recent surging interest in strengthening of High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) with possible chemical ordering motivates the development of new theory. Here, an existing theory for random alloys that accounts for solute-dislocation and solute–solute interactions i ...
Mechanical tests and microscopy studies on body-centered cubic (BCC) high entropy alloys reveal transitions from screw to edge dislocation slip and from {110} to {112} slip plane activity. Here, a strengthening theory for BCC edge dislocation slip on {112} ...
The introduction of Hydrogen (H) into Zirconium (Zr) influences many mechanical properties, especially due to low H solubility and easy formation of Zirconium hydride phases. Understanding the various effects of H requires studies with atomistic resolution ...
The activation of prismatic slip in Mg and its alloys can be beneficial for deformation and forming. Experiments show that addition of Zn and Al solutes have a softening effect at/below room temperature, attributed to solutes facilitating basal-prism-basal ...
Combining the excellent thermal and electrical properties of Cu with the high abrasion resistance and thermal stability of W, Cu-W nanoparticle-reinforced metal matrix composites and nano-multilayers are finding applications as brazing fillers and shieldin ...
The poor ductility of hcp Mg is attributed to the low activity of non-basal slip systems and so activation of prismatic slip can aid ductility in rolled sheets by providing three additional < a > Burgers vector slip systems. Experimental studies show that ...
Undesirable natural aging (NA) in Al-6xxx delays subsequent artificial aging (AA) but the size, composition, and evolution of clustering are challenging to measure. Here, atomistic details of early-stage clustering in Al-1% Mg-0.6%Si during NA are studied ...
