Grain boundaries (GBs) often control the processing and properties of polycrystalline materials. Here, a potentially transformative research is represented by constructing GB property diagrams as functions of temperature and bulk…
Mg grain boundary (GB) segregation and GB diffusion can impact the processing and properties of Al-Mg alloys. Yet, Mg GB diffusion in Al has not been measured experimentally or predicted by simulations. We apply atomistic computer…
Atomic crystals with dislocations deform plastically at low stresses via dislocation glide. Whether dislocation glide occurs in macroscopic frictional granular media has remained unknown. The discrete element method is employed to simulate…
The influence of grain size on the flow stress of various FCC polycrystals (Cu, Al, Ag and Ni) has been analyzed by means of computational homogenization of a representative volume element of the microstructure using a FFT approach in…
Previous studies demonstrate that grain-boundary sliding could accelerate creep rate and give rise to large internal stresses that can lead to damage development, e.g. formation of wedge cracks. The present study provides more insight into…
In this paper, the Fe-20Ni-25Cr alloy that is used for fuel cladding or pressure vessels with various grain boundaries (GBs) was investigated by employing molecular dynamics simulations. The bi-crystals comprised of {\Sigma}3(111),…
The influence of magnetism on the properties of screw dislocations in body-centered cubic chromium is investigated by means of ab initio calculations. Screw dislocations having Burgers vectors 1/2 111 and 100 are considered, following…

Many technologically useful materials are polycrystals composed of a myriad of small monocrystalline grains separated by grain boundaries. Dynamics of grain boundaries play a crucial role in determining the grain structure and defining the…
Grain growth (GG), driven by grain boundary (GB) migration, is a fundamental mechanism of microstructural evolution in polycrystalline materials. GB migration is frequently accompanied by a relative shear displacement of grains meeting at…

Validating dislocation patterning models against in situ imaging experiments is a longstanding goal in materials physics. Here, we provide the first direct morphological comparison of such models. Using in situ Dark-Field X-ray Microscopy…
Grain boundaries (GBs) are ubiquitous in polycrystalline graphene materials obtained by various growth methods. It has been shown previously that considerable electrical transport gap can be opened by grain boundaries. On the other hand,…
Solute segregation in materials with grain boundaries (GBs) has emerged as a popular method to thermodynamically stabilize nanocrystalline structures. However, the impact of varied GB crystallographic character on solute segregation has…
We address a three-dimensional, coarse-grained description of dislocation networks at grain boundaries between rotated crystals. The so-called amplitude expansion of the phase-field crystal model is exploited with the aid of finite element…
Dipolar dislocation loops, prevalent in fcc metals, are widely recognized as controlling many physical aspects of plastic deformation. We present results of 3D dislocation dynamics simulations that shed light on the mechanisms of their…
In this work, we investigate [110] symmetric tilt FCC grain boundaries (GBs) by a recently developed approach for quasiperiodic interfaces using the Landau-Brazovskii model. On special tilt angles associated with quadratic algebraic…
Nanoscale precipitates in the microstructure of nickel-based superalloys hinder dislocation motion, which results in an extraordinary strengthening effect at elevated temperatures. We used molecular dynamics (MD) with classical effective…
Understanding plastic deformation of crystals in terms of the fundamental physics of dislocations has remained a grand challenge in materials science for decades. To overcome this, the Discrete Dislocation Dynamics (DDD) method has been…
