Nanoscale features present in structural and functional materials affect their macroscopic
properties and hence have been extensively studied. As experimental investigations of …

Recent major improvements to the transmission electron microscope (TEM) including
aberration-corrected electron optics, light-element-sensitive analytical instrumentation …

The recently developed interstitial high-entropy alloys (iHEAs) exhibit an enhanced
combination of strength and ductility. These properties are attributed to dislocation …

Pushing the internal or external dimensions of metallic alloys down to the nanometer scale
gives rise to strong materials, though most often at the expense of a low ductility and a low …

We combine in situ transmission electron microscopy and large-scale molecular dynamics
simulations to investigate brittle fracture in 2D monolayer MoS2, revealing that cracks …

In this study, we additively manufactured a CrMnFeCoNi/AlCoCrFeNiTi 0.5 laminated high-
entropy alloy (HEA), with alternating layers of both constituent materials, that exhibits …

The internal twin-boundaries in lamellar γ-TiAl alloys, namely true-twin (TT), rotational
boundary (RB), and pseudo-twin (PT), are known to be effective in strengthening the TiAl …

Experiments on polycrystalline metallic samples have indicated that Grain boundary (GB)
structure can affect many material properties related to fracture and plasticity. In this study …

This study carried out two-step thermo-mechanical processing (TMP) in grain boundary
engineering (GBE) to optimize the grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) and tensile …

As a relatively new class of hierarchically structured materials, nanotwinned (NT) metals
exhibit an exceptional combination of high strength, good ductility, large fracture toughness …
