Body-centered cubic (bcc) refractory multicomponent alloys are of great interest due to their remarkable strength at high temperatures. Meanwhile, further optimizing the chemical compositions of these alloys to achieve a combination of high…
A detailed study of the precipitation of the \gamma' (AlAg2) phase in undeformed aluminium-silver alloys has been conducted. Several previously unreported features were observed, including the formation of discrete three-dimensional…
We rigorously derive a strain-gradient model of plasticity as a $\Gamma$-limit of continuum bodies containing finitely-many edge-dislocations (in two dimensions). The key difference from previous such derivations is the elemental notion of…
Dislocations are a central concept in materials science, which dictate the plastic deformation and damage evolution in materials. Layered materials such as graphite admit two general types of interlayer dislocations: basal and prismatic…
Confinement or geometric frustration is known to alter the structure of soft matter, including copolymeric melts, and can consequently be used to tune structure and properties. Here we investigate the self-assembly of ABC and ABB 3-miktoarm…
We present a compositional and structural investigation of silicene, germanene, and stanene bilayers from first-principles. Due to the staggering of the individual layers, several stacking patterns are possible, most of which are not…
Mg represents a group of technically important hexagonal-close packed (hcp) metals whose mechanical behaviors are very different from body-centered cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) metals and the underlying mechanisms remain…
In general, the cross-slip of superdislocations (a/2<011>) from {111} planes to {001} planes has been frequently observed in superalloys, accompanied by the formation of an antiphase boundary (APB) and driven by thermal activation. However,…
The intersection between dislocations and a Ag(111) surface has been studied using an interplay of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and molecular dynamics (MD). Whereas the STM provides atomically resolved information about the surface…
The structure and mobility of dislocations in the layered semiconductor InSe is studied within a multiscale approach based on generalized Peierls--Nabarro model with material-specific parametrization derived from first principles. The…
We unveil a new non-basal slip mechanism in the {\mu}-phase at room temperature using nanomechanical testing, transmission electron microscopy and atomistic simulation. The (1-105) planar faults with a displacement vector of 0.07[-5502] can…
Twisted and rope-like assemblies of filamentous molecules are common and vital structural elements in cells and tissue of living organisms. We study the intrinsic frustration occurring in these materials between the two-dimensional…
Atomistic origin of stacking faults in non-close packed systems is a fundamentally distinct mechanism from the well-known close packed structures with ABC stacking, and represents an uncharted territory in material research. According to…
A model predicting the structure of repulsive, spherically symmetric, monodisperse particles confined between two walls is presented. We study the buckling transition of a single flat layer as the double layer state develops. Experimental…
The microscopic mechanism by which amorphous solids yield plastically under an externally applied stress or deformation has remained elusive in spite of enormous research activity in recent years. Most approaches have attempted to identify…
We analyse linear stability of interfacial waves in an idealised model of an aluminium reduction cell consisting of two stably stratified liquid layers which carry a vertical electric current in a collinear external magnetic field. If the…
The correlation between structural distortion and emergence of magnetism in graphene containing a single vacancy was investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). Our results have shown that a…
We study the stability and evolution of various elastic defects in a flat graphene sheet and the electronic properties of the most stable configurations. Two types of dislocations are found to be stable: "glide" dislocations consisting of…
Topological defects in graphene, dislocations and grain boundaries, are still not well understood despites the considerable number of experimental observations. We introduce a general approach for constructing dislocations in graphene…
In this paper we derive the equations of motion for two-layer point vortex motion on the upper half plane. We study the invariants using symmetry, including the Hamiltonian and show that the two vortex problem is integrable. We characterize…
