Dislocation–obstacle interactions that resist the glide of dislocations in metals, and hence
increase the applied stress necessary for plastic deformation, are treated at the atomic scale …

A model for simulating the dynamic behaviour of edge dislocations in metals at the atomic
level is presented. The model extends an earlier approach based on an array of edge …

Material performance in extreme radiation environments is central to the design of future
nuclear reactors. Radiation induces significant damage in the form of dislocation loops and …

Recently a model has been developed by Osetsky and Bacon to study edge dislocations
moving over large distances on the atomic scale. It permits investigation of motion of a …

A study of heavy-ion damage in Fe and Fe–Cr alloys started in Part 1 was continued with an
investigation of damage development in UHP Fe and Fe–8% Cr at higher doses up to 2× …

A combination of ab-initio calculations and statistical mechanical models has been used to
study diffusion behavior in dilute ferritic Fe–Cr and Fe–Ni alloys. A full set of Onsager matrix …

Motion of point defects is a fundamental process that governs microstructure and properties
of materials. Here, we examine the near-surface and grain boundary cavity swelling depth …

924 100 interstitials diffuse with a low activation energy and a pre-exponential factor that
decreases with increasing loop size. Similar diffusion behavior occurs in FCC metals like …

We investigate the radiation response of nanotwinned Cu by using in situ Kr ion irradiation
technique inside a transmission electron microscope. In comparison with coarse grained Cu …

Stacking fault tetrahedra (SFTs) are formed under irradiation in fcc metals and alloys. The
high number density of SFTs observed suggests that they should contribute to radiation …
