In many problems of interest to materials scientists and engineers, the evolution of crystalline extended defects (dislocations, cracks, grain boundaries, interfaces, voids, precipitates) is controlled by the flow of point defects (interstitial/substitutio ...
The ability of the phase-field-crystal (PFC) model to quantitatively predict atomistic defect structures in crystalline solids is addressed. First, general aspects of the PFC model are discussed within the context of obtaining quantitative results in solid ...
The presence of elemental hydrogen is known to accelerate fatigue crack growth in aluminum alloys. However, a direct link between experimental data and the governing atomistic mechanisms has remained elusive. Here we present a series of computational studi ...
