Solute segregation at grain boundaries (GBs) of polycrystals strongly impacts the mechanical properties of metals including strength, fracture, embrittlement, and corrosion. However, the complexity of GB structures and the large chemical…
The physics of glasses can be studied from many viewpoints, from material scientists interested in the development of new materials to statistical physicists inventing new theoretical tools to deal with disordered systems. In these lectures…
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a highly tunable class of crystalline materials where metal atoms or clusters are connected by organic linkers. They offer a versatile platform for exploring quantum phenomena such as entangled magnetism,…
Hard magnetic materials belong to a novel class of soft active materials with the capability of quick, large, and complex deformation via applying an external actuation. They have an extensive range of potential applications in soft robots,…
Fundamental research on two-dimensional (2D) magnetic systems based on van der Waals materials has been gaining traction rapidly since their recent discovery. With the increase of recent knowledge, it has become clear that such materials…
Superconducting materials hold great potential to bring radical changes for electric power and high-field magnet technology , enabling high-efficiency electric power generation, high-capacity lossless electric power transmission, small…
Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) simulations are a popular approach to study various features of large systems. A common application of QM/MM calculations is in the investigation of reaction mechanisms in condensed-phase and…
Shear localization in slowly-driven bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is typically accompanied by a sharp drop in the bulk stress response as a signature of the plastic yielding transition. It is also observed that the sharpness of this…
Currently, the rapidly developing powerful spinning processes of metals are widely used in many industrial sectors including those requiring high precision processing of metal materials, and the types and production of spun part are…
The increasing demand for more efficient and environmental-friendly gas turbines has driven the development of new strategies for material development. SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) can fulfil the stringent requirements; however,…
Rare-earth-doped optical materials are important for light sources in optoelectronics, as well as for efficient optical amplification elements and other elements of photonics. On the basis of the previously developed method of anhydrous,…
Two different hot isostatic pressing cycles (HIPing) were investigated to synthesize bulk MgB2 samples: a "standard" cycle where a low vessel pressure is maintained while heating to the process temperature with a subsequent simultaneous…
The glass transition remains unclarified in condensed matter physics. Investigating the mechanical properties of glass is challenging because any global deformation that may result in shear rejuvenation requires an astronomical relaxation…
Plasmonics enables deep-subwavelength concentration of light and has become important for fundamental studies as well as real-life applications. Two major existing platforms of plasmonics are metallic nanoparticles and metallic films.…
Despite their technological relevance, a full microscopic understanding of glasses is still lacking. This applies even more to their surfaces whose properties largely differ from that of the bulk material. Here, we experimentally…
Compositionally complex materials have demonstrated extraordinary promise for structural robustness in extreme environments. Of these, the most commonly thought of are high entropy alloys, where chemical complexity grants uncommon…
Ceramic based materials covered with a mixture of mullite and zircon on the top, strengthened by the addition of zinc and magnesium compounds at different rates (37 % and 50 %) and made by a co-precipitation method are studied. The…
Films produced by assembling bare gold clusters well beyond the electrical percolation threshold show a resistive switching behavior whose investigation has started only recently. Here we address the challenge to charaterize the resistance…
Pure noble metals are typically considered to be the materials of choice for a near-field superlens that allows subwavelength resolution by recovering both propagating and evanescent waves. However, a superlens based on bulk metal can…
Porous metallic structures are regularly used in electrochemical energy storage devices as supports, current collectors or active electrode materials. Bulk metal porosification, dealloying, welding or chemical synthesis routes involving…
