The mechanical behavior in compression of [111] LiF micropillars with diameters in the range 0.5 $\mu$m to 2.0 $\mu$m was analyzed by means of discrete dislocation dynamics at ambient and elevated temperature. The dislocation velocity was…
Multicomponent alloys undergoing irradiation damage develop radiation-induced composition redistribution at point defect sinks such as grain boundaries (GBs) and dislocations. Such redistribution results in undesired changes to their…
In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to investigate elementary dislocation properties in a Co-free high entropy (HEA) model alloy ($Cr_{15}Fe_{46}Mn_{17}Ni_{22}$ at. %) in comparison with a model alloy representative…
A cluster deposition method was used to produce films of loosely aggregated nanoclusters (NC) of Fe core-Fe3O4 shell or fully oxidized Fe3O4. Films of these NC on Si(100) or MgO(100)/Fe3O4(100) were irradiated to 10^16 Si2+/cm2 near room…
Despite decades of extensive research on mechanical properties of diamond, much remains to be understood in term of plastic deformation mechanisms due to the poor deformability at room temperature. In a recent work in Advanced Materials, it…
We develop a machine-learned interatomic potential for AlCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloys (HEA) using a diverse set of structures from density functional theory calculated including magnetic effects. The potential is based on the…
We study the effect of Stacking Fault Energy (SFE) on the deformation behaviour of copper and copper-aluminium alloys using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation. We find that both yield stress and the magnitude of stress drop at yield…
Plastic deformation of micron and sub-micron scale specimens is characterized by intermittent sequences of large strain bursts (dislocation avalanches) which are separated by regions of near-elastic loading. In the present investigation we…
This work is focused on investigating the impact of out-of-plane stitches on enhancing mode-II interlaminar fracture toughness (or energy) and characterizing damage progression and crack arrestment in stitched resin-infused composites. For…
Linear complexions are stable defect states that form along dislocations and recent experiments have demonstrated strengthening effects exceeding classical precipitation hardening predictions, motivating a detailed study of nanoscale…
Experimental results show significant difference between neutrons and ions irradiation of alloys, while the underlying reasons remain unclear. Herein, we performed object kinetic Monte Carlo (OKMC) simulations on void evolution in Fe-Cr…
Structural and mechanical properties of amorphous and nanocomposite carbon are investigated using tight-binding molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. In the case of amorphous carbon, we show that the variation of sp^3 fraction as…
Molten iron chlorides are central to emerging energy technologies, including electrochemical iron production and redox flow batteries. Optimizing their electrochemical performance and transport properties requires atomic-scale structural…
Superlattice (SL) thin films composed of refractory ceramics unite extremely high hardness and enhanced fracture toughness; a material combination often being mutually exclusive. While the hardness enhancement obtained whentwo materials…
We study the uniaxial compressive behavior of disordered colloidal free-standing micropillars composed of a bidisperse mixture of 3 and 6 um polystyrene particles. Mechanical annealing of confined pillars enables variation of the packing…
The compressive yield stress of particle gels shows a highly nonlinear dependence on the packing fraction. We have studied continuous compression processes, and discussed the packing fraction dependence with the particle scale…

The onset of nonlinear effects in metals, such as plasticity and damage, is strongly influenced by the heterogeneous stress distribution at the grain level. This work is devoted to studying the local stress distribution of shear stresses…
A new approach for characterizing the dislocation microstructure obtained from atomistic simulations is introduced, which relies on converting properties of discrete lines to continuous data. This data is represented by a number of density…
Colloids dispersed in nematic liquid crystals form topological composites in which colloid-associated defects mediate interactions while adhering to fundamental topological constraints. Better realising the promise of such materials…
