Compression experiments on micron-scale specimens and acoustic emission (AE) measurements on bulk samples revealed that the dislocation motion resembles a stick-slip process - a series of unpredictable local strain bursts with a scale-free…
A mechanism of controlling the degree of strain relaxation in GeSn epilayers, grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Ge/Si(001) substrates, is reported in this work. It is demonstrated that by suitably controlling the thickness and the growth…
Plasticity in hexagonal close-packed zirconium is mainly controlled by the glide of dislocations with 1/3<1-210> Burgers vectors. As these dislocations cannot accommodate deformation in the [0001] direction , twinning or glide of <c+a>…
Dislocation interactions at the crack nucleation site were investigated in near-alpha titanium alloy Ti-6242Si subjected to low cycle fatigue. Cyclic plastic strain in the alloy resulted in dislocation pile-ups in the primary alpha grains,…
In this paper, we present a dislocation-density-based three-dimensional continuum model, where the dislocation substructures are represented by pairs of dislocation density potential functions (DDPFs), denoted by $\phi$ and $\psi$. The slip…
Dislocation-density-based crystal plasticity (CP) models are introduced to account for the microstructural changes throughout the deformation process, enabling more quantitative predictions of the deformation process compared to slip-system…
We derive strain-gradient plasticity from a nonlocal phase-field model of dislocations in a plane. Both a continuous energy with linear growth depending on a measure which characterizes the macroscopic dislocation density and a nonlocal…
We present a general scheme for analyzing the structure and mobility of dislocations based on solutions of the Peierls-Nabarro model with a two component displacement field and restoring forces determined from the ab-initio generalized…
On the basis of the classical dislocation theory, the Solid Solution Hardening (SSH) is commonly ascribed to the pinning of the edge dislocations. At the atomic level, the theoretical study of the dislocation cores contrasts with such a…
Molecular static simulations have been performed to study the interaction between a single dislocation and a substitutional Al solute atom in a pure crystal of Ni. When the Al solute is situated at intermediate distance from the slip plane,…
Smectic liquid crystals are charcterized by layers that have a preferred uniform spacing and vanishing curvature in their ground state. Dislocations in the smectics play an important role in phase nucleation, layer reorientation, and…
The dislocation microstructure developing during plastic deformation strongly influences the stress-strain properties of crystalline materials. The novel method of high resolution electron backscatter diffraction (HR-EBSD) offers a new…
The large epitaxial stress induced by the misfit between a triple atomic layer Fe film and an Ir(111) substrate is relieved by the formation of a dense dislocation line network. Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (SP-STM)…
In seeking to understand at a microscopic level the response of dislocations to stress we have undertaken to study as completely as possible the simplest case: a single dislocation in a two dimensional crystal. The intention is that results…
(Abridged, full abstract available in the text) The main goal of the study presented in this thesis was to perform in-situ investigations on deformation structures in plastically deformed polycrystalline copper at low degrees (<5%) of…
The dislocation core is an important region as it controls many important properties of materials. Elasticity breaks down in the core and the stress, force, and energy diverge at the dislocation line. We consider three commonest methods…
The static stress needed to depin a 2D edge dislocation, the lower dynamic stress needed to keep it moving, its velocity and displacement vector profile are calculated from first principles. We use a simplified discrete model whose far…
We report on thermal transport properties of wurtzite GaN in the presence of dislocations, by using molecular dynamics simulations. A variety of isolated dislocations in a nanowire configuration were analyzed and found to reduce…
Ab initio calculations in bcc iron show that a <111> screw dislocation induces a short-range dilatation field in addition to the Volterra elastic field. This core field is modeled in anisotropic elastic theory using force dipoles. The…
In a recent publication, we derived the mesoscale continuum theory of plasticity for multiple-slip systems of parallel edge dislocations, motivated by the statistical-based nonlocal continuum crystal plasticity theory for single-glide due…
