Strengthening mechanisms in dilute and random solid solution high-entropy BCC alloys

Alireza Ghafarollahi

Tuning the mechanical properties of metals, including strength, through adjusting the type and/or concentration of added solute elements, has been recognized as an effective way to design and produce materials with desired or optimized mechanical propertie ...

Quantifying the Solution Structure of Metal Nanoclusters Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering

Huayan Yang, Francesco Stellacci, Stefan Guldin, Zhi Luo

Metal nanoclusters are a unique class of synthetic material, as their crystal structures can be resolved using X-ray diffraction, and their chemical formula can be precisely determinated from mass spectroscopy. However, a complete structure characterizatio ...

New methods for structure determination and speciation by NMR crystallography

Martins Balodis

NMR crystallography has been around for half a century, but with the advent of NMR crystal structure determination protocols in the last decade it has shown perspectives that were not seen before. Amalgamation of NMR and crystal structure determination has ...

Delayed Hydride Cracking in Irradiated and Unirradiated Zircaloy-2 Cladding

Aaron William Colldeweih

Zirconium alloys used in the nuclear industry are exposed to extreme conditions undergoing high levels of irradiation damage and corrosion. Zircaloy-2 is used as nuclear fuel cladding in boiling water reactors and for the encapsulation of the spallation ta ...

cell2mol: encoding chemistry to interpret crystallographic data

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Sergio Vela Llausi, Yuri Cho

The creation and maintenance of crystallographic data repositories is one of the greatest data-related achievements in chemistry. Platforms such as the Cambridge Structural Database host what is likely the most diverse collection of synthesizable molecules ...

Computational Studies of the Proton-Coupled Metal Ion Transport in the SLC11/NRAMP Family of Transporters

Maria Letizia Merlini

In the last years, it has been demonstrated a link between the overload of metal ions inside nervous system cells and the onset of severe neurodegenerative diseases. This prompted the investigation of the structural and functional properties of transporter ...

Low-Loss Anisotropic Image Polaritons in van der Waals Crystal alpha-MoO3

Sergejs Boroviks

Orthorhombic molybdenum trioxide (alpha-MoO3), a newly discovered polaritonic van der Waals crystal, is attracting significant attention due to its strongly anisotropic mid-infrared phonon-polaritons. At the same time, coupling of polariton with its mirror ...

The thermally activated deformation behaviour of single-crystalline microcast aluminium wires

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

A microcasting process is used to produce high aspect ratio ( > 30) monocrystalline pure aluminium wires with a diameter between 14 and 115 mu m. The role of thermal activation in the plastic deformation of these microwires is measured by means of (single) ...

Concrete cancer : characterization of Alkali Silica Reaction early stage products by electron microscopy

Solène Anne-Lise Albinski

Concrete deterioration is a natural process, which has to be carefully monitored over a the service life of a structure. The Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) is a slow-process degradation, which devel-ops over decades and is therefore difficult to predict. Sin ...

Bragg edge tomography characterization of additively manufactured 316L steel

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Nikola Kalentics

In this work we perform a neutron Bragg edge tomography of stainless steel 316L additive manufacturing samples, one as built via standard laser powder bed fusion, and one using the novel three-dimensional (3D) laser shock peening technique. First, we consi ...
