Dislocation core properties of tin (\beta-Sn) were investigated using the semi-discrete variational Peierls-Nabarro model (SVPN). The SVPN model, which connects the continuum elasticity treatment of the long-range strain field around a…
Dislocations in crystalline materials are widely exploited to tailor the thermal conductivity of semiconductors and thermoelectrics, yet a critical gap persists: direct measurement of local thermal resistance at individual buried…
By using the state-of-the-art microscopy and spectroscopy in aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopes, we determine the atomic arrangements, occupancy, elemental distribution, and the electronic structures of…
Dislocations in perovskite oxides have important impacts on their physical and chemical properties, which are determined by their unique atomic environments. In the present study, the structure of dislocations in a 10{\deg} low-angle grain…
The nature of mechanically induced dislocations in SrTiO3 at low temperatures has been a disputed matter for a long time. Here we provide a systematic overview of the existing knowledge on dislocations in stoichiometric SrTiO3 complemented…
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…
Dislocation core chemistry in oxides critically influences mechanical behavior and functionality; yet the evolution of core chemistry during the dislocation motion in them has not been directly observed. Here, using SrTiO3 as a model…
Recently a highly ordered Moir\'e dislocation lattice was identified at the interface between a \ce{SrTiO3} (STO) thin film and the (LaAlO$_3$)$_{0.3}$(Sr$_2$TaAlO$_6$)$_{0.7}$ (LSAT) substrate. A fundamental understanding of the local…
Dislocations, one-dimensional lattice imperfections, are common to technologically important materials such as III-V semiconductors, and adversely affect heat dissipation in e.g., nitride-based high-power electronic devices. For decades,…
Basal slip acts as a secondary deformation mode in hexagonal close-packed titanium and becomes one of the primary mechanisms in titanium alloyed with simple metals. As these solute elements also lead to a pronounced reduction of the energy…
Tetradymite-structured chalcogenides such as bismuth telluride Bi_{2}Te_{3} are of significant interest for thermoelectric energy conversion and as topological insulators. Dislocations play a critical role during synthesis and processing of…
Plasticity in hexagonal close packed (HCP) metals and alloys such as Titanium (Ti) and Zirconium (Zr) is carried out by the motion of $\langle a \rangle$ dislocations. Above room temperature, in situ transmission electron microscopy…
High entropy alloys are a class of materials with many significant improvements in terms of mechanical properties as compared to ``classical'' alloys. The corresponding structure-property relations are not yet entirely clear, but it is…
Quantitative Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) during in-situ straining experiment is able to reveal the motion of dislocations -- linear defects in the crystal lattice of metals. In the domain of materials science, the knowledge about…
The interaction between carbon and screw dislocations in tungsten is investigated using ab initio calculations. The presence of carbon atoms in the vicinity of the dislocation induces a reconstruction, with the dislocation relaxing to a…
Ti exhibits complex plastic deformation controlled by active dislocation and twinning systems. Understandings on dislocation cores and twin interfaces are currently not complete or quantitative, despite extensive experimental and simulation…
We report on the fabrication and characterization of superconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonators based on titanium nitride (TiN) thin films deposited on 200\,mm diameter high-resistivity Si(100) substrates. We systematically…
We investigate the physics of the core reconstruction and associated structural excitations (reconstruction defects and kinks) of dislocations in silicon, using a linear-scaling density-matrix technique. The two predominant dislocations…
This chapter reviews the different methodological aspects of the ab ini-tio modeling of dislocations. Such simulations are now frequently used to study the dislocation core, i.e. the region in the immediate vicinity of the line defect where…
This work reports a pulsed laser-assisted synthesis, detailed structural characterization, and study of plasmonic properties of three sets of TiN/TiNO thin films with high electron density. The first two sets of TiN films were grown at 600C…
