Nanostructured metallic materials having nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained structures
show exceptional mechanical properties, eg superior strength, that are very attractive for …

Extrinsic grain boundary dislocations (EGBDs) are formed in grain boundaries during plastic
deformation of polycrystals EGBDs cause a nonequilibrium structure of grain boundaries …

Dislocations govern the properties of crystals. Yet, how pentagon–heptagon (5| 7) pairs in
grain boundaries (GBs) affect the mechanical properties of MoS2 remains poorly known …

We extend the phase field crystal (PFC) framework to quantitative modeling of
polycrystalline graphene. PFC modeling is a powerful multiscale method for finding the …

An ultrafine grained (UFG) structure has been obtained in commercial purity Al by high-
pressure torsion (HPT). Changes in microhardness and electrical resistivity of the UFG …

Assembling of pseudo-graphene from grain boundaries with structural units 5-7. In this
review, we consider wedge disclinations as the main structural defects in 2D graphene …

Linear elasticity problem for a straight wedge disclination, which axially pierces a hollow
sphere (a spherical layer), is solved analytically. The disclination displacements, stresses …

We have revealed the decisive role of grain-boundary-induced strain fields in electron
scattering in polycrystalline graphene. To this end, we have formulated the model based on …

A coarse-grained extension of a recent nanoscale elasto-plastic model of polar dislocation
and disclination density fields is developed to model grain boundary-mediated plasticity in …

The electron work function (EWF) of ultrafine grained (UFG) aluminum structured by high
pressure torsion (HPT) has been investigated. For the first time, the dependence of the EWF …
