Point defect species and concentrations in metastable Fe-C alloys are determined using density functional theory and a constrained free-energy functional. Carbon interstitials dominate unless iron vacancies are in significant excess,…
Severe plastic deformation changes the microstructure and properties of steels, which may be favourable for their use in structural components of nuclear reactors. In this study, high-pressure torsion (HPT) was used to refine the grain…
Electron backscatter diffraction is a widely used technique for nano- to micro-scale analysis of crystal structure and orientation. Backscatter patterns produced by an alloy solid solution matrix and its ordered superlattice exhibit only…
Fe-Co alloys with induced tetragonal strain are promising materials for rare-earth-free permanent magnets. However, as ultrathin-film studies have shown, tetragonal Fe-Co structures tend to a rapid relaxation toward a cubic structure as the…
Martensitic materials show a complex, hierarchical microstructure containing structural domains separated by various types of twin boundaries. Several concepts exist to describe this microstructure on each length scale, however, there is no…
Hydrogen incorporation in diluted nitride semiconductors dramatically modifies the electronic and structural properties of the crystal through the creation of nitrogen-hydrogen complexes. We report a convergent beam electron-diffraction…
Ferritic/martensitic steels will be used as structural components in next generation nuclear reactors. Their successful operation relies on an understanding of irradiation-induced defect behaviour in the material. In this study, Fe and FeCr…
Precise and accurate determination of crystallographic orientation is crucial for engineering van der Waals heterostructures, where the twist angle between layers controls emergent electronic and optical properties. While Electron…
Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging (BCDI) allows the three-dimensional (3D) measurement of lattice strain along the scattering vector for specific microcrystals. If at least three linearly independent reflections are measured, the 3D…
Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) have emerged as promising candidates for extreme high-temperature applications, for example, in next-generation turbines and nuclear reactors. In such applications, atomic diffusion critically governs…
Metals are important structural materials for transport and the built environment. Low carbon steels can fail through strain localisation due to the role of interstitial solute atoms (such as carbon and nitrogen) interacting with mobile…
Accurately determining the crystallographic structure of a material, organic or inorganic, is a critical primary step in material development and analysis. The most common practices involve analysis of diffraction patterns produced in…
Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we have studied the mechanical, electronic, and magnetic properties of Heusler alloys, namely, Ni$_{2}BC$ and Co$_{2}BC$ ($B$ = Sc, Ti, V, Cr and Mn as well as Y, Zr,…
Differential abundances of C, O, Mg, Al, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Y, and Zr were determined from high signal-to-noise VLT/UVES spectra for 25 turnoff stars with -2.4 < [Fe/H] < -1.3. Effective temperatures were obtained from…
In the current work considering the wave model of the crystal growth control, an influence of heterogeneity of the medium on the forming martensite crystal s profile was examined. The considering of the heterogeneity is provided with the…
Metal intercalation into layered topological insulator materials such as the binary chalcogenide Bi2X3 (X=Te or Se) has yielded novel two-dimensional electron-gas physics, phase transitions to superconductivity, as well as interesting…
Electron diffraction through a thin patterned silicon membrane can be used to create complex spatial modulations in electron distributions by varying the intensity of different reflections using parameters such as crystallographic…
Due to their superior fatigue strength, martensitic steels are the material of choice for high cyclic loading applications such as coil springs. However, crack propagation is influenced by residual stresses and their interaction is poorly…
We describe a lattice-based crystallographic approximation for the analysis of distorted crystal structures via Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) in the scanning electron microscope. EBSD patterns are closely linked to local lattice…
Accurately indexing pseudosymmetric materials has long proven challenging for electron backscatter diffraction. The recent emergence of intensity-based indexing approaches promises an enhanced ability to resolve pseudosymmetry compared to…
