Disclinations, first observed in mesomorphic phases, are relevant to a number of ill-ordered condensed matter media, with continuous symmetries or frustrated order. They also appear in polycrystals at the edges of grain boundaries. They are…
The behavior of dislocations is essential to understand material properties, but their subsurface dynamics that are representative of bulk phenomena cannot be resolved by conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Dark field X-ray…

Microstructural evolution in structural materials is known to occur in response to mechanical loading and can often accommodate substantial plastic deformation through the coupled motion of grain boundaries (GBs). This can produce desirable…
