Due to the structurally disordered arrangement of atoms and deviation from thermodynamic
equilibrium, the physical and mechanical properties of metallic glasses can vary with time …

▪ An understanding of the rheological behavior of the solid Earth is fundamental to provide a
quantitative description of most geological and geophysical phenomena. The continuum …

The initial microstructure of a wide range of structural materials is conditioned by thermo-
mechanical treatments such as hot-working, tempering, or solution annealing. At the …

Dislocation plays a crucial role in many material properties of semiconductors, ranging from
plastic deformation to electronic transport. But the dislocation structures and reactions …

Materials for the next generation of electric power infrastructure will be subject to harsh
service environments featuring extreme levels of stress, temperature, irradiation, and …

Multiscale models of materials, consisting of upscaling discrete simulations to continuum
models, are unique in their capability to simulate complex materials behavior. The …

Introducing electric current into metals and alloys to improve their ductility and to reduce the
