Atomic-scale investigations of metal oxide surfaces exposed to aqueous environments are vital to understand degradation phenomena (e.g. dissolution and corrosion) as well as the performance of these materials in applications. Here, we…
We study fully three-dimensional droplets that slide down an incline by employing a thin-film equation that accounts for capillarity, wettability, and a lateral driving force in small-gradient (or long-wave) approximation. In particular, we…
A yield surface of a material is a set of critical stress conditions beyond which macroscopic plastic deformation begins. For crystalline solids, plastic deformation occurs through the motion of dislocations, which can be captured by…
