Nanoindentation was used to measure hardness before and after room temperature He ion
implantation on sputter-deposited V/Ag multilayers of different layer thickness as well as …

In the traditional picture of plasticity in bcc metals, edge dislocations have been assumed to
play a minor role due to their high mobility with respect to screw dislocations, which then …

Binary (Fe, Cr) alloys and high-chromium ferritic–martensitic steels undergo α–α′ phase
separation under thermal ageing or irradiation. The resulting Cr-rich precipitates (α′ phase) …

In this work we studied the interaction of a ½〈 111〉{110} edge dislocation with Cu-rich
precipitates, mimicking those that are known to form in RPV steels. We have applied a …

An investigation is reported of the probability and the probability density of thermal activation
of stress-driven dislocation processes, as simulated using molecular dynamics (MD) …

This paper provides a computational method for dislocation-precipitate interaction problems.
The computational method is a combination of the parametric dislocation dynamics and the …

In this paper, we propose a model for dislocation-void interaction in Iron that is amenable to
dislocation dynamics simulations. Voids are treated as shearable particles whose shear …

Experiments and atomic-scale computer simulations have shown that nano-scale voids and
copper precipitates can be strong obstacles to the glide of dislocations in neutron-irradiated …

There are clear experimental evidences of the formation of either spherical or platelet γ-
precipitates inside cubic γ'-precipitates in nickel-based superalloys, which strengthen the …

Fe-Cr based Ferritic/martensitic (FM) steels are the candidate structural materials for future
fusion reactors. In this work, atomistic simulations are used to understand the hardening of …
