A hexagonal close-packed to face-centered orthorhombic (hcp-to-fco) martensitic
transformation in the Hf lattice upon dissolving Ni atoms is observed by molecular dynamics …

Medium to high stacking-fault energy FCC metals develop a pronounced cube texture
during static recrystallization. Previous studies reported that the recrystallized grains can …

Twinning is an essential mode of plastic deformation for achieving superior strength and
ductility in metallic nanostructures. It has been generally believed that twinning-induced …

The microstructural evolution process of face-centered cubic Cu-30 wt% Zn, which has very
low stacking fault (SF) energy of only 14 mJ/m 2, processed by high-pressure torsion, was …

The grain-boundary dislocation arrangement and decomposition during constant-volume
deformation of a nanoscale bi-crystal system in fcc-structured materials were studied by …

Two different mechanisms of the stress-induced martensitic phase transformation at the
crack tip in body-centered cubic (bcc) structural metals and alloys have been studied by …

Tracing the rearranged atoms in the first-order phase transformation is unrealistic due to the
discrete structure change. Here we report that, by tuning a nano-scale decomposition in a …

It is not easy to find amorphization in monocrystalline materials. This study demonstrates that
amorphization can be introduced in ultra-fine grained copper by a novel technique-dynamic …

The inherent ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) behavior of body-centered cubic (BCC) metals
severely limits their applications, and leads to low-temperature brittleness. To enhance the …

The microstructural evolution during hexagonal–orthorhombic (HO) phase transformation in
polycrystals was modeled by means of a modeling technique combining the strain-only …
