This paper reviews the recent research and development of high-entropy alloys (HEAs).
HEAs are loosely defined as solid solution alloys that contain more than five principal …

Serration and noise behaviors in plastically deforming solids are related to avalanches of
deformation processes. In the stress-strain curves, the serration characteristics are visible as …

The phase-field method is a powerful and versatile computational approach for modeling the
evolution of microstructures and associated properties for a wide variety of physical …

One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC)
method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a novel class of alloys that have many desirable properties.
The serrated flow that occurs in high-entropy alloys during mechanical deformation is an …

Emphasising essential methods and universal principles, this textbook provides everything
students need to understand the basics of simulating materials behaviour. All the key topics …

Recent experimental and theoretical progress on the study of crackling noise in the plastic
deformation of crystals, ferroelastics, and porous materials is reviewed. We specifically point …

We show that slowly sheared metallic nanocrystals deform via discrete strain bursts (slips),
whose size distributions follow power laws with stress-dependent cutoffs. We show for the …

The physical processes governing the onset of yield, where a material changes its shape
permanently under external deformation, are not yet understood for amorphous solids that …
