We study the effect of torsional deformations on the electronic properties of single-walled transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanotubes. In particular, considering forty-five select armchair and zigzag TMD nanotubes, we perform…
Ni-based superalloy Inconel-718 is ubiquitous in metal 3D printing where high cooling rate and thermal gradient are present. These manufacturing conditions are conducive to high initial dislocation density and porosity or void in the…
In the present work, we demonstrate for the first time the outstanding dynamic mechanical properties of nano-quasicrystalline Al93Fe3Cr2Ti2 at.% alloy and composites. Unlike most crystalline aluminium-based alloys, this alloy and composites…
The present work deals with the microstructure and texture evolutions of a TWIP high entropy alloy at various temperatures. Toward this end, the tensile tests were conducted at temperatures ranging from 298 to 873 K under the strain rate of…
Among iron based superconductors, the layered iron chalcogenide Fe(Te1-xSex) is structurally the simplest and has attracted considerable attentions. It has been speculated from bulk studies that nanoscale inhomogeneous superconductivity may…
Strain rate sensitivity is a key feature of material deformation, whose importance is growing both because miniaturized components experience higher effective rates and because small scale simulations increasingly probe such conditions. As…
Predicting the mechanical failure of parts in service requires understanding their deformation behavior, and associated dynamic microstructural evolution up to the near-atomic scale. Solutes are known to interact with defects generated by…
The deformation behavior of single crystal and nanocrystalline nickel were studied using in situ micropillar compression experiments from quasi-static to high strain rates up to 10^3 s-1. Deformation occurred by dislocation slip activity in…
Nanostructured electrodes with voids or interconnected pores accommodate large volume changes, shorten ion diffusion pathways, and enhance the structural reversibility of alloying electrodes. While these nanoporous features improve the…
Superconductivity is inevitably suppressed in reduced dimensionality. Questions of how thin superconducting wires or films can be before they lose their superconducting properties have important technological ramifications and go to the…
Platelet array linear complexions have been predicted in Al-Cu, with notable features being dislocation faceting and climb into the precipitate, both of which should impact plasticity. In this study, we examine the strain rate dependence of…
A filamentary composite elaborated by cold drawing was processed by High Pressure Torsion (HPT). The nanostructure resulting from this severe plastic deformation (SPD) was investigated thanks to scanning electron microscopy, transmission…
We introduce a computational approach to estimate the hardness and stiffness of diamond surfaces and nanoparticles by studying their elastic response to atomic nanoindentation. Results of our ab initio density functional calculations…
Stacking faults (SF) are important structural defects that play an essential role in the deformation of engineering alloys. However, direct observation of stacking faults at the atomic scale can be challenging. Here, we use the analytical…
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have been carried out to investigate the deformation behaviour of <110>/{111} body centered cubic (BCC) Fe nanowires under tensile and compressive loading. An embedded atom method (EAM) potential was used…
Atomistic studies are carried out to investigate the formation and evolution of defects during nanoindentation of a gold crystal. The results in this theoretical study complement the experimental investigations [J. D. Kiely and J. E.…
The search for new ultra strong materials has been a very active research area. With relation to metals, a successful way to improve their strength is by the creation of a gradient of nanograins (GNG) inside the material. Recently, R.…
Additively manufactured (AM) aluminum alloys with high strength and thermal stability have broad applications in turbine engines, vacuum pumps, heat exchangers, and many other industrial systems. Employing precipitates with an L1$_2$…
We study three structurally different states of nanocrystalline 316 steel and show that the state, where boundaries containing excess concentration of alloying elements are combined with mobile dislocations in grain interiors, allows…
To study the size and strain rate dependency of copper polycrystalline microstructures, a multi-layered copper/Al$_2$O$_3$ thin film was deposited on a Si substrate using a hybrid deposition system (combining physical vapour and atomic…
