Abstract High-power, short-duration, laser-driven, shock compression and recovery
experiments on [001] silicon unveiled remarkable structural changes above a pressure …

Boron carbide ceramics have been particularly problematic in attempts to develop adequate
constitutive model descriptions for purposes of analysis of dynamic response in the shock …

The experimental determination of atomistic mechanisms linking crystal structures during a
compression-driven solid-solid phase transformation is a long-standing and challenging …

Here we report that high-power, pulsed, laser-driven shock compression of monocrystalline
silicon produces directional amorphization, revealed by high-resolution transmission …

The thermomechanical behavior of materials is known to be sensitive to preexisting defects
in their microstructure. In this paper, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations have …

Multi-component and multiphasic materials are continually being developed for electronics,
aircraft, automotive, and general applications. Integrated Computational Materials …

We investigate the response of the metal–organic framework MOF-5 to shock loading along
various crystallographic orientations using molecular dynamics simulations with the reactive …

Dislocations are the primary agents of permanent deformation in crystalline solids. Since the
theoretical prediction of supersonic dislocations over half a century ago, there is a dearth of …

We systematically study the plasticity and melting behavior in shock loading, as well as their
dependence on porosity (ϕ) and specific surface area (γ) for nanoporous copper (NPC), by …

The shock Hugoniot for full-density and porous CeO 2 was investigated in the liquid regime
using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations with Erpenbeck's approach based on …
