Defects play a key role in deciding the mechanisms and kinetics of phase transformations. In this paper, we show how dislocations influence phase separation in alloys with miscibility gap. Specifically, depending on the ratio of pipe…
DC electrical degradation as a form of dielectric and resistance breakdown is a common phenomenon in thin-film devices including resistance-switching memory. To obtain design data and to probe the degradation mechanism, highly accelerated…
The dynamic behavior of metals is governed by collective dislocation motion and interactions that strongly depend on the applied strain rate. Metals exhibit weak strain rate sensitivity (SRS) below a certain threshold, followed by a…
The kinetics of dislocation reactions, such as dislocation multiplication, controls the plastic deformation in crystals beyond their elastic limit, therefore critical mechanisms in a number of applications in materials science. We present a…
Ferroelectrics show a phase transition to a paraelectric phase at a well-defined transition temperature. Introducing disorder makes this transition diffuse, and the system becomes a relaxor. Since the degree of (dis-)order is usually…
Nanocrystalline materials are promising candidates for future fusion reactor applications, due to their high density of grain boundaries which may serve as sinks for irradiation induced defects. We use molecular dynamics to simulate…
In this paper, we investigate plasticity in irradiated FeCrAl nanopillars using discrete dislocation dynamics simulations (DDD), with comparisons to transmission electron microscopic (TEM) in situ tensile tests of ion and neutron irradiated…
Crowdion defects are produced in body centred cubic metals under irradiation. Their structure and diffusive dynamics play a governing role in microstructural evolution, and hence the mechanical properties of nuclear materials. In this paper…
Large-scale atomistic calculations, using empirical potentials for modeling semiconductors, have been performed on a stressed system with linear surface defects like steps. Although the elastic limits of systems with surface defects remain…
We present a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model of nonlinear elasticity in solid materials. We assume that the elastic energy density is a periodic function of the shear and tetragonal strains owing to the underlying lattice structure.…
Deuterium diffusion is investigated in nitrogen-doped homoepitaxial ZnO layers. The samples were grown under slightly Zn-rich growth conditions by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on m-plane ZnO substrates and have a nitrogen content…
Within a transport model it is shown that the neutron/proton ratio of squeezed-out nucleons perpendicular to the reaction plane, especially at high transverse momenta, in heavy-ion reactions induced by high energy neutron-rich nuclei can be…
We investigate the dispersion of the charge carrier plasmon in the three prototypical charge-density wave bearing transition-metal dichalcogenides 2H-TaSe2, 2H-TaS2 and 2H-NbSe2 employing electron energy-loss spectroscopy. For all three…
Solid-state ionic conduction is a key enabler of electrochemical energy storage and conversion. The mechanistic connections between material processing, defect chemistry, transport dynamics, and practical performance are of considerable…
It is well known that the irradiation-induced defects strongly influence the mechanical properties of zirconium (Zr) or its alloys in nuclear reactors. However, how the point defect changes the mechanical properties has been rarely studied.…
Nonlinear optical property of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanosheet dispersions, including MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2, was performed by using Z-scan technique with ns pulsed laser at 1064 nm and 532 nm. The results demonstrate…
In this paper, the origin of the threshold stress in pure 3 mol %-yttria tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (YTZP) is analysed in detail. At this regard, the two explanations reported in literature are discussed thoroughly. One of them…
Experiments and simulations both have verified the presence of <100> dislocations in irradiated W. It is essential to know the properties and behavior of these defects to study the evolution of microstructures at higher scales. We study the…
The correlation properties of a random system of densely packed disks, obeying a power-law size distribution, are analyzed in reciprocal space in the thermodynamic limit. This limit assumes that the total number of disks increases…
We derive and study equations for dissipative transient processes in a constraint incommensurate charge density wave (CDW) with remnant pockets or a thermal population of normal carriers. The attention was paid to give the correct…
