Non-conservative dislocation climb plays a unique role in the plastic deformation and creep
of crystalline materials. Nevertheless, the underlying atomic-scale mechanisms of …

Solidification cells and a high density of dislocations are two common features of additively
manufactured (AM) alloys that are processed using techniques such as laser powder bed …

To ascertain the role of the solidification cell structures on the mechanical performance of Al-
Si-(Mg) alloys processed using the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique, micropillar …

Aluminum (Al) metal is highly reactive but has excellent corrosion resistance because of the
formation of a self-healing passive oxide layer on the surface. Here, we report that this native …

Surface effect is believed as one of the most important origins from which the novel
properties of nanomaterials derive. Although this effect has been investigated for decades …

While considerable effort is made to understand the solid solution strengthening on the
deformation behavior of high-entropy alloys (HEAs), relatively little attention is paid to the …

Micropillar compression tests were performed on unalloyed Ni that was manufactured using
the additive manufacturing (AM) technique of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) with …

As one of the major irradiation defects, helium bubbles have a marked influence on the
microstructures and mechanical properties of metals. In recent decades, many experiments …

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging relies on high energy electrons for atomic
scale resolution, however, the electrons themselves interact with and may alter the material …

Physical vapour deposition combined with atomic layer deposition was exploited to design a
model system of UFG aluminium with a narrow grain size and shape distribution, including …
