Ceramics are usually composed of randomly oriented grains and intergranular phases, so
their properties are the statistical average along each direction and show isotropy …

The micromechanism for the deformation of layered crystalline solids (LCSs) such as
graphite, mica, and the MAX phases has long been assumed to be basal dislocations alone …

Texture-engineered ceramics enable access to a vast array of novel texture-property
relations leading to property values ranging between those of single crystals and isotropic …

The formation process of the kink bands in a directionally solidified, polycrystalline, long-
period stacking ordered (LPSO) Mg 85 Zn 6 Y 9 phase during compression deformation was …

Plastically anisotropic/layered solids are ubiquitous in nature and understanding how they
deform is crucial in geology, nuclear engineering, microelectronics, among other fields …

Mn+ 1AXn (MAX) phases are novel structural and functional materials with a layered crystal
structure. Their unique properties such as good machinability, high electrical conductivity …

In this work, oxidation mechanisms were studied in fine-grained (FG) and coarse-grained
(CG) Ti 2 AlC bulk samples. Results showed that the oxidation kinetics are controlled by the …

Herein we present experimental and modeling evidence for a new deformation
micromechanism operating in layered solids termed a ripplocation. Select Ti 3 SiC 2 grains …

It has long been assumed that basal dislocations were responsible for the deformation of
layered, crystalline solids. Herein we make the case that, with the notable exception of some …

The deformation mechanisms involved in the tensile creep of a Ti 3 AlC 2 specimen
deformed, at 900° C, to a 7.5% final strain are investigated through SEM and TEM …
