Twin boundaries (TBs) are ubiquitous interfaces with specific structure in metallic materials.
They possess special interactions with dislocations and the fatigue cracking behaviors are …

In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

High-Ni-content layered materials are promising cathodes for next-generation lithium-ion
batteries. However, investigating the atomic configurations of the delithiation-induced …

Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

Metals can be processed to reach ultra-high strength, but usually at a drastic loss of ductility.
Here, we review recent advances in overcoming this tradeoff, by purposely deploying …

Deformation twinning is an important plastic carrier competing with the ordinary dislocation
slip in a broad class of crystalline solids, which critically controls the mechanical properties …

Some high-entropy alloys, which contain two or more component phases with highly
different properties, can achieve an outstanding combination of high strength and high …

We have investigated the twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) and transformation-induced
plasticity (TRIP) as well as the influence of ω phase on these two phenomena in a …

Owing to their unique optical, electronic, and catalytic properties, metal nitrides
nanostructures are widely used in optoelectronics, clean energy, and catalysis fields …

Abstract {332} twinning, an unusual twinning mode in other body-centered cubic (bcc)
metals and alloys, has been demonstrated to be a fundamental deformation mode in bcc …
