Dislocation cores, the regions in the immediate vicinity of dislocation lines, control a number
of properties such as dislocation mobility, cross-slip and short-range interactions with other …

Large scale atomistic simulations provide direct access to important materials phenomena
not easily accessible to experiments or quantum mechanics-based calculation approaches …

The plastic deformation in hcp metals is complex, with the associated dislocation core
structures and properties not well understood on many slip planes in most hcp metals. A first …

The solid solution strengthening of α-Ti was investigated in respect of dislocation nucleation
and dissociation in all four active glide modes. A series of Ti+ X alloys (X= Al, Sn, V, Zr and …

Alloying magnesium (Mg) with rare earth elements such as yttrium (Y) has been reported to
activate the pyramidal< c+ a> slip systems and improve the plasticity of Mg at room …

Nanostructuring delivers significant enhancement of Ti mechanical strength and reduces the
size of dental implants while avoiding undesirable alloying elements such as Al or V. Implant …

The deformation mode of some titanium (Ti) alloys differs from that of pure Ti due to alloying
elements in the α-phase. Herein, we investigated all possible slip modes in pure Ti and the …

Stacking-fault energy (SFE) is a critical parameter that influences plastic deformation of Cu
alloys. Here, the SFEs of Cu solid solutions at various temperatures and solute …

The addition of rare elements to Mg enhances mechanical behavior via solution and
precipitation strengthening mechanisms. To provide fundamental insight into the underlying …

The generalized stacking fault energy profile is fundamental to models of metal plasticity and
thus a key parameter for alloy design. However, to account for thermal vibrations, models …
