We study the plastic deformation of the ω phase which is obtained when Titanium
undergoes a phase transformation under pressure. We perform molecular dynamics …

This overview highlights very recent progress on the application of high-energy x-ray
diffraction for in situ study of the phase transformation of shape-memory alloys. The …

Based on detailed x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy we have found
body-centered-cubic (bcc) Ni upon room-temperature rolling of nanocrystalline (nc) face …

Although abundant phase transformations are in general thermally driven processes, there
are many examples wherein stresses can induce phase transformations. Numerous in situ …

Although tailoring stacking fault energy (SFE) through the addition of suitable alloying
element can improve mechanical properties, the effect of strain must also be included to …

The interaction of d transition metal additions with dislocations was studied in bcc alloys by
using the atomic row model with ab initio parametrization of the interatomic interactions …

Spinodal decomposition mechanism is well-known for producing nanoscale modulated
microstructure which is either sponge-like or plate-like. Our recent investigations of a Ti-Nb …

Structural transformations at interfaces are of profound fundamental interest as complex
examples of phase transitions in low-dimensional systems. Despite decades of extensive …

Martensitic transformation (MT), constituting an essential part of deformation scenario, plays
a key role in plasticity and thermoelasticity of face-centered cubic (fcc) materials. Despite …

Twinning is commonly activated in plastic deformation of low stacking-fault face-centered
cubic (Fcc) metals but rarely found in body-centered cubic (Bcc) metals under room …
