The aim of the thesis is to obtain more understanding about the influence of plastic deformation on the microstructural changes observed in single crystal (SX) Ni-based superalloys using diffraction techniques. This work was organised around two main probl ...
Semiconductor nanowires have increased the palette of possible heterostructures thanks to their more effective strain relaxation. Among these core shell heterostructures are much more sensitive to strain than axial Ones. It is now accepted that the formati ...
High throughput first-principles calculations were employed to unravel the thermodynamic stability of two sets of hierarchical phases, β′′′P and β′′′S, in Mg-RE (rare-earth) alloys. The β′′′P orderings (with compositions greater than xRE=0.125) are predict ...
Negative strain-rate sensitivity due to dynamic strain aging in Aluminium-5XXX alloys leads to reduced ductility and plastic instabilities at room temperature, inhibiting application of these alloys in many forming processes. Here a hierarchical multiscale ...
Alloys containing substitutional solutes exhibit strengthening due to favorable solute fluctuations within the alloy that hinder dislocation motion. Here, a quantitative, parameter-free model to predict the flow stress as a function of temperature and stra ...
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 ...
The finite-temperature yield stress of Mg-Al alloys undergoing basal slip is investigated using a recently developed parameter-free solute strengthening model. The model takes input from first-principles calculations of the dislocation/solute interaction e ...
Random solid solution alloys are a broad class of materials that are used across the entire spectrum of engineering metals, whether as stand-alone materials (e.g. Al-57xxx alloys) or as the matrix in precipitate strengthening materials (e.g. Ni-based super ...
We have demonstrated a GaN/AlGaN quantum cascade detector based on a simplified design of the extractor region relying on an AlGaN thick layer. The device grown by molecular beam epitaxy exhibits both TM-polarized intersubband absorption and photocurrent a ...
With recent developments in micro and nano-technologies, mechanical components such as those used in medicine or electronics tend to be miniaturized, requiring a new set of testing techniques to study their reliability and performance. One of the new metho ...
