Materials scientists at Rice University have developed a new workflow methodology for measuring microscopic defects in ...

The kinetics of dislocation reactions, such as dislocation multiplication, controls the plastic deformation in crystals beyond their elastic limit, therefore critical mechanisms in a number of ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to unveil a novel approach to comprehend small defects known as dislocations in polycrystalline materials.

A shock wave traveling through a material can create defects known as dislocations – tiny shifts in the material’s crystal that propagate through it, leaving what are known as stacking faults behind.

Plastic deformation of materials is caused by nucleation and multiplication of dislocations under an external force (A and B). It is generally believed that brittle inorganic semiconducting materials ...

Dislocations in single-phase concentrated random alloys, including high-entropy alloys (HEAs), repeatedly encounter pinning during glide, resulting in jerky dislocation motion. While ...

Materials engineers have developed the ability to manipulate structure and matter at the nanoscale for solid-state alloys ...
