A continuum grain boundary model is developed that uses experimentally measured grain boundary energy data as a function of misorientation to simulate idealized grain boundary evolution in a 1-D grain array. The model uses a continuum…
Medium-Mn steels exhibit excellent mechanical properties and lower production costs compared to high-Mn steels, which makes them a potential material for future application in the automotive industry. Intercritical annealing (ICA) after…
We have studied the incommensurate moir\'e structure of epitaxial graphene grown on iridium(111) by dynamic low energy electron diffraction [LEED-I(V)] and non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a CO terminated tip. Our LEED-I(V)…
We have studied the phase volume fraction related magnetoresistance (MR) across the first order martensite transformation (MT) of Ni44Cu2Mn43In11 alloy. Within the metastability of MT, an isothermal application of magnetic field converts…
Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the magnetic exchange interaction and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of biatomic Fe chains grown in the trenches of the 5x1 reconstructed Ir(001) surface depend sensitively on the…
Neutron diffraction measurements have been carried out to investigate the magnetic form factor of the parent SrFe2As2 system of the iron-based superconductors. The general feature is that the form factor is approximately isotropic in wave…
A 10 wt.% nickel-steel has been developed for high pressures and low-temperature applications, due to its high strength, excellent toughness, and low ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT). Under dynamic loading conditions this…
We present experimental results on crystal--amorphous transition of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) silicate under ion irradiation. The aim of this work is to study the structural evolution of one of the most abundant crystalline silicates observed in…
Shape memory alloys like NiTi are at the core of emerging thermal management applications, including elastocaloric refrigeration, thermoelastic harvesting, and latent heat storage. Most of these applications benefit from a small scale due…
Olivine comprises approximately 70 $\%$ by volume of the Earth's upper mantle, making it likely that it controls the mechanical, electrical and seismic properties of the upper mantle. All rocks are composed of crystals separated by grain…
Based on original investigations into the stages of nucleation and growth of martensite, a consideration has been given to dynamic models of formation of martensite plates with a fine structure of transformation twins, which are compatible…
The low temperature lattice structure and magnetic properties of Co$_{2.75}$Fe$_{0.25}$O$_4$ ferrite have been investigated using experimental results from synchrotron x-ray diffraction (SXRD), dc magnetization, ac susceptibility, neutron…
Numerous applications of hexagonal ferrites are related to their easy axis or easy plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy configurations. Certain W-type ferrites undergo spin reorientation transitions (SRT) between different anisotropy states…
The article concerns an investigation of the Fresnel diffraction characteristics of two types of phase optical elements, under Gaussian laser beam illumination. Both elements provide an azimuthal periodicity of the phase retardation. The…
Point defect species and concentrations in metastable Fe-C alloys are determined using density functional theory and a constrained free-energy functional. Carbon interstitials dominate unless iron vacancies are in significant excess,…
Bismuth ferrite is one of the most widely studied multiferroic materials because of its large ferroelectric polarisation coexisting with magnetic order at room temperature. Using density functional theory (DFT), we identify several…
This investigation demonstrates a way to innovatively modify the ferritic microstructure at a local scale, particularly at the failure prone area such as Charpy V-notch (CVN) root. Tensile pre-strain (PS) up to 6 percent and 12 percent were…
The diffusion-controlled growth and microstructural evolution at the interface of aluminide coatings and different substrates such as Ni-base superalloys and steel are reviewed. Quantitative diffusion analysis indicates that the diffusion…
In this work, a multiscale approach based on phase field was developed to simulate the microstructure's evolution under irradiation in binary systems, from atomic to microstructural scale. For that purpose, an efficient numerical scheme was…
We have fabricated Pt-containing granular metals by focused electron beam induced deposition from the $(CH_3)_3CH_3C_5H_4Pt$ precursor gas. The granular metals are made of platinum nanocrystallites embedded in a carbonaceous matrix. We have…
