Materials subjected to high dose irradiation by energetic particles often experience severe
damage in the form of drastic increase of defect density, and significant degradation of their …

Nanostructured materials contain an extremely high density of interfaces. The properties of
these materials when exposed to extreme conditions of radiation dose, stress, deformation …

Designing a material from the atomic level to achieve a tailored response in extreme
conditions is a grand challenge in materials research. Nanostructured metals and …

Although grain boundaries can serve as effective sinks for radiation-induced defects such as
interstitials and vacancies, the atomistic mechanisms leading to this enhanced tolerance are …

The mechanical behavior of nanolaminates is dominated by interfaces that act as sources,
barriers, and preferred sites for storage and dynamic recovery of glide dislocations. In this …

Structural transformations at interfaces are of profound fundamental interest as complex
examples of phase transitions in low-dimensional systems. Despite decades of extensive …

A novel interface engineering strategy is proposed to simultaneously achieve superior
irradiation tolerance, high strength, and high thermal stability in bulk nanolayered …

Bulk nanostructured metals can attribute both exceptional strength and poor thermal stability
to high interfacial content, making it a challenge to utilize them in high-temperature …

Recent advances in the fundamental understanding of the deformation mechanisms in
metallic multilayers are reviewed. The strength of metallic multilayers increases with …

The dependence of the width of void-denuded zones (VDZs) on grain boundary (GB)
characters was investigated in Cu irradiated with He ions at elevated temperature …
