Grain size has a profound effect on the mechanical response of metals. Molecular dynamics
continues to expand its range from a handful of atoms to grain sizes up to 50 nm, albeit …

Microstructural computer models which explicitly model the topology and network
connectivity of evolving grain and subgrain structures are reviewed. Simulations of grain …

We present a two-dimensional phase field model of grain boundary statics and dynamics.
We begin with a brief description and physical motivation of the crystalline phase field …

While there is a great wealth of data for thermal transport in synthetic diamond, there
remains much to be learned about the impacts of grain structure and associated defects and …

Controlling the location of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) within Al matrix is still challenging. To
clarify the factors/mechanisms affecting the spatial distribution of CNTs, Short and Long …

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to evaluate the primary interface dislocation
sources and to estimate both the free enthalpy of activation and the critical emission stress …

Grain growth and phase stability of a nanocrystalline face-centered cubic (fcc) Ni 0.2 Fe 0.2
Co 0.2 Cr 0.2 Cu 0.2 high-entropy alloy (HEA), either thermally-or irradiation-induced, are …

Classical theories of grain growth assume that grain boundary curvature and velocity are
linearly correlated. However, recent experimental observations seem to imply that the …

Experiments and computer simulations of bicrystals have been extensively used to study the
role of thermal grooving on grain boundary motion. Although these studies provide a …

Nanoscience is an area with increasing interest both in the physicochemical phenomena
involved and the potential applications such as silicon carbide films, carbon nanotubes …
