Semicoherent interfaces are frequently developed during phase transformations within
materials like steels and Ti alloys. Gaining insight into dislocation motion and the …

This study reveals that the cellular reaction (CR) is dominated by grain boundary (GB)
migration mechanism controlled by element diffusion, during which the α2→ γ+ βo phase …

Stacking fault energy (SFE) is a fundamental property affecting the nucleation and
dissociation of the partial dislocations, which is also responsible for the twinning propensity …

Previous work on studying FCC/BCC martensite transformations using molecular dynamics
(MD) was mainly adopting an atomistically flat interface between the two transforming …

High strength and ductility, often mutually exclusive properties of a structural material, are
also responsible for damage tolerance. At low temperatures, due to high surface energy …

Using classical molecular dynamics simulations, we study austenite to ferrite phase
transformation in iron, focusing on the role of interface morphology. We compare two …

X-ray diffraction patterns contain information about the atomistic structure and microstructure
