Plasticity in body-centred cubic (BCC) metals, including dislocation interactions at grain boundaries, is much less understood than in face-centred cubic (FCC) metals. At low temperatures additional resistance to dislocation motion due to…
Coarse-grained descriptions of dislocation motion in crystalline metals inherently represent a loss of information regarding dislocation-dislocation interactions. In the present work, we consider a coarse-graining framework capable of…

Although the pearlitic steel is one of the most extensively studied materials, there are still questions unanswered about the interface in the lamellar structure. In particular, to deepen the understanding of the mechanical behavior of…
(a+c) dislocations in hexagonal materials are typically observed to be dissociated into partial dislocations. Edge (a+c) dislocations are introduced into (0001) nitride semiconductor layers by the process of plastic relaxation. As there is…
Dislocation core properties of tin (\beta-Sn) were investigated using the semi-discrete variational Peierls-Nabarro model (SVPN). The SVPN model, which connects the continuum elasticity treatment of the long-range strain field around a…
Metallic materials under high stress often exhibit deformation localization, manifesting as slip banding. Over seven decades ago, Frank and Read introduced the well-known model of dislocation multiplication at a source, explaining slip band…
The strength of body-centered cubic materials is traditionally known to be governed by screw dislocations. However, recent findings reveal that in certain refractory complex concentrated alloys, edge dislocations can instead control…

Dislocation pinning plays a vital role in the plastic behaviour of a crystalline solid. Here we report the first observation of the damped oscillations of a mobile dislocation after it gets pinned at an obstacle in the presence of a…
The nonequilibrium process in dislocation dynamics and its relaxation to the metastable transition profile is crucial for understanding the plastic deformation caused by line defects in materials. In this paper, we consider the full…
Dislocations are topological defects known to be crucial in the onset of plasticity and in many properties of crystals. Classical Elasticity still fails to fully explain their dynamics under extreme conditions of high strain gradients and…

We elucidated the core structure of screw dislocations in ordered B2 FeCo using a recent magnetic bond-order potential (BOP) [Egorov et al., Phys. Rev. Mater. 7, 044403 (2023)]. We corroborated that dislocations in B2 FeCo exist in pairs…
Body-centred cubic (BCC) transition metals tend to be brittle at low temperatures, posing significant challenges in processing and major concerns for damage tolerance. The brittleness is largely dictated by the screw dislocation core; the…
Recently, a dislocation free deformation mechanism was proposed by Kiritani et al., based on a series of experiments where thin foils of fcc metals were deformed at very high strain rates. In the experimental study, they observed a large…
In order to relieve the misfitting elastic energy, the hetero-interfaces become semicoherent by forming networks of dislocations. These microscopic structures strongly influence the materials properties associated with the development of…
Metals with fcc structure may exhibit deformation twinning under specific conditions, which is an interesting but somewhat elusive aspect of their deformation behavior. It is well acknowledged that the phenomenon occurs through the…
The influence of hydrogen on dislocation junctions was analysed by incorporating a hydrogen dependent core force into nodal based discrete dislocation dynamics. Hydrogen reduces the core energy of dislocations, which reduces the magnitude…
