Microstructure and deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline Ni-Fe. Part II. In situ testing during X-ray diffraction

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem

Deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline electrodeposited Ni (26 nm) and Ni-Fe (12 nm) are studied by strain rate sensitivity experiments and in situ mechanical testing during X-ray diffraction. We find a relatively low strength for Ni-Fe, which may be as ...

Band structure of gold from many-body perturbation theory

Helena Van Swygenhoven

The band structure of gold is calculated using ab initio many-body perturbation theory. Different approximations within the GW approach are considered. Standard single-shot G(0)W(0) corrections modify the sp-like bands while leaving unchanged the 5d occupi ...

Early cluster formation during rapid cooling of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy: In situ small-angle X-ray scattering

Jean-Marie Drezet, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Patrick Schloth

The formation of Cu-Mg clusters in an Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloy is observed by small-angle X-ray scattering during cooling. Cooling rates are choosen to mimic the different conditions obtained at the surface and in the center of large forgings. Clusters of 0 ...
