The influence of microstructure on the strength scaling behaviour of ultrafine-grained bcc
metals is investigated by scale-bridging experiments spanning four orders of length on …

The universality class of the avalanche behavior in plastically deforming crystalline and
amorphous systems has been commonly discussed, despite the fact that the microscopic …

The dislocation-induced shielding effect on the crack-tip depends on not only the number of
dislocations but also the distance of dislocations from the crack-tip. The former is closely …

In small volumes, sample dimensions are known to strongly influence mechanical behavior,
especially strength and crystal plasticity. This correlation fades away at the so-called …

Observing the physical effects of neutrons is logistically complicated due to their poor
displacement efficiency, which requires irradiation durations extending from months to years …
