Long-range order (LRO) precipitate-strengthening is an important strategy that endows a
superior strength-ductility combination in Ni-based alloys. However, the micromechanical …

This study investigates the deformation mechanisms of β-Li micropillar prepared from a Mg–
7Li dual-phase alloy with or without surface oxide layer. The β-Li micropillar with three cross …

This study identifies the role of solute Cr in the thermal activation process in the plastic
deformation of α-(Fe, Cr) ferrite (BCC solid solutions) using micropillar compression tests for …

In order to understand the influence of dislocation substructures on the size-dependent
strength (smaller is stronger) of micron-sized metals, we have fabricated single-crystal …

Explosive growth in the use of small-volume materials is driving the exploration of sample-
size/orientation-dependent mechanical behavior. High-density long-range order (LRO) …
