Deciphering the interactions between single arm dislocation sources and coherent twin boundary in nickel bi-crystal

Helena Van Swygenhoven

The introduction of a well-controlled population of coherent twin boundaries (CTBs) is an attractive route to improve the strength ductility product in face centered cubic (FCC) metals. However, the elementary mechanisms controlling the interaction between ...

Annealing hardening and softening of an ultrafine grained Cu-4.5vol.% Al2O3 nanocomposite

Roland Logé, Jun Wang

Samples from an ultrafine-grained Cu-4.5vol.%Al2O3 nanocomposite rod fabricated by powder compact extrusion were annealed at 400 and 700 degrees C for 15 min respectively, and their microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. It shows that ...

Design using randomness: a new dimension for metallurgy

William Curtin

High entropy alloys add a new dimension, atomic-scale randomness and the associated scale-dependent composition fluctuations, to the traditional metallurgical axes of time-temperature-composition-microstructure. Alloy performance is controlled by the energ ...

Moire Flat Bands in Twisted Double Bilayer Graphene

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Seyedeh Fatemeh Haddadi Givi

We investigate twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG), a four-layer system composed of two AB-stacked graphene bilayers rotated with respect to each other by a small angle. Our ab initio band structure calculations reveal a considerable energy gap at the c ...

Probabilistic and deterministic full field approaches to simulate recrystallization in ODS steels

Roland Logé

Mechanical and functional properties of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) ferritic/martensitic steels are strongly related to their microstructures. Thus, numerical modeling of microstructure evolution during ODS forming is of prime importance. In this w ...

Structural properties of organometalic halide perovskite and their application in photodetectors

Anastasiia Glushkova

Hybrid organometallic halide perovskites have been intensively investigated in the past years as highly efficient light harvesters for various optoelectronic applications for both sensing and emitting light. However, many open questions remain regarding th ...

Design of Ductile Rare-Earth-Free Magnesium Alloys

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Rasool Ahmad

Pure Mg has low ductility due to a transition of < c+a > pyramidal dislocations to a sessile basal-oriented structure. Dilute alloying generally improves ductility. Enhancement of pyramidal cross-slip from the lower-energy pyramidal II plane to the higher- ...

Effect of annealing temperature on the performance of printable carbon electrodes for perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Iwan Zimmermann

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with mesoporous TiO2 electron transport layers have reached > 22% efficiency at laboratory scale ( < 1 cm(2)), however, these layers are fabricated using spin-coating, which is not conducive to large-scale or high throughput f ...

Blocking the Charge Recombination with Diiodide Radicals by TiO2 Compact Layer in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Nikolaos Vlachopoulos, Kazuteru Nonomura

The addition of a compact titanium dioxide (TiO2) layer between the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate and the mesoporous TiO2 layer in the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) based on the iodide/triiodide redox couple (I-/I-3(-)) is known t ...

Atomic Scale Investigations into the Origins of Ductility in Mg Alloys

Rasool Ahmad

The industrial applications of Mg, the lightest structural metal, and abundant in Earth's crust, are hampered by its low intrinsic ductility and low fracture toughness at room temperature which is attributed to the underlying less symmetric and plastically ...
