We study the thermal fluctuations of vortex positions in small vortex clusters in a harmonically trapped rotating Bose-Einstein condensate. It is shown that the order-disorder transition of two-shells clusters occurs via the decoupling of…
In this study, we present the first simulation results of the formation of dislocation cell wall microstructures in tantalum subjected to shock loading. Dislocation patterns and cell wall formation are important to understanding the…
Dielectric spectroscopy of CaCu3Ti4O12 was performed spanning broad ranges of temperature (10-300K) and frequency (0.5Hz-2MHz). We attribute the permittivity step-fall to the evolution of Kirkwood-Fr\"oehlich dipole-correlations; reducing…
Much scientific and practical interest is currently focused on the atomic-scale mechanical behaviors of metallic nanocrystals with different crystal structures at room temperature, while the high-temperature plastic deformation in tungsten…
The exact microscopic origin, symmetry, and thermal melting mechanism of the charge density wave (CDW) phase in TiSe$_{2}$ remain a subject of intense debate, particularly regarding the presence of chiral structural order and a multi-step…
We report room-temperature bulk plasticity mediated by dislocations in single-crystal cubic KTaO3, contrasting the conventional knowledge that single-crystal KTaO3 is susceptible to brittle cleavage. A mechanics-based combinatorial…
The influence of temperature on the deformation behaviour of the C15 CaAl$_2$ Laves phase, a key constituent for enhancing the mechanical properties of Mg alloys up to service temperatures of 200 {\deg}C, remains largely unexplored. This…
Below the Curie temperature T_c of a Heusler-alloy film, consisting of densely packed, but exchange-decoupled nanograins, the spontaneous magnetization M_s(T) and static in-plane susceptibility \chi_{||}(T) increase very slowly signalizing…
The transition from elastic to plastic deformation in crystalline metals shares history dependence and scale-invariant avalanche signature with other non-equilibrium systems under external loading: dilute colloidal suspensions,…
Understanding the mechanical properties of metals at extreme conditions is essential for the advancement of miniaturized technologies. As dimensions decrease, materials will experience higher strain rates at the same applied velocities.…
The two-dimensional dislocation dynamics approach has been recently used for analyzing plastic deformation in metals and alloys at elevated temperatures. The two-dimensional approach, however, only accounts for the dislocation climbing…
The statistical-thermodynamic dislocation theory developed in previous papers is used here in an analysis of high-temperature deformation of aluminum and steel. Using physics-based parameters that we expect theoretically to be independent…
We use our recently proposed accelerated dynamics algorithm (Tiwary & van de Walle, 2011) to calculate temperature and stress dependence of activation free energy for surface nucleation of dislocations in pristine Gold nanopillars under…
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…
Compression experiments on micron-scale specimens and acoustic emission (AE) measurements on bulk samples revealed that the dislocation motion resembles a stick-slip process - a series of unpredictable local strain bursts with a scale-free…
Microscale dynamic testing is vital to the understanding of material behavior at application relevant strain rates. However, despite two decades of intense micromechanics research, the testing of microscale metals has been largely limited…
Microcrystals deform very differently from their macroscopic counterparts, displaying a size-dependent yield stress and intermittent plastic strain bursts. Here we demonstrate that size effects and strain bursts may be just two different…
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…
We use a physically-based crystal plasticity model to predict the yield strength of body-centered cubic (bcc) tungsten single crystals subjected to uniaxial loading. Our model captures the thermally-activated character of screw dislocation…
It is now possible to create perfect crystal nanowires of many metals. The deformation of such objects requires a good understanding of the processes involved in plasticity at the nanoscale. Isotropic compression of such nanometre scale…
