The strengthening of metals by nano-scale obstacles is mainly attributed to the impediment to glide dislocations offered by these obstacles. It is important to understand the …
Dislocation climb is a mechanism fundamental to high temperature deformation processes, annealing of quenched-in defects, and irradiated defect absorption in metals. It is known …
Understanding of and accounting for various mechanisms that affect inelastic deformation of crystalline metals in the presence of hydrogen remains an unsettled issue. Macroscopic …
Hydrogen embrittlement is a long-standing issue in engineering structural applications with a multitude of competing hypotheses and theories. Despite advances in experimental and …
Nanosize vacancy clusters, characterized in metals after plastic deformation, irradiation or specific heat treatments are suspected to participate in materials hardening through their …
High-quality germanium epilayers on Si with low threading-dislocation density were achieved by sintering of porous Ge/Si films. The process consists in the formation of porous …

In this study, we report atomistic calculations of the core structure of screw dislocations with [001] Burgers vector in Mg2SiO4 olivine. Computations based on the THB1 empirical …
Dislocations are line defects present in crystalline materials that govern the plastic deformation of metals and metallic alloys. These defects are described by continuum …
