Materials subjected to high dose irradiation by energetic particles often experience severe
damage in the form of drastic increase of defect density, and significant degradation of their …

Nanostructured materials contain an extremely high density of interfaces. The properties of
these materials when exposed to extreme conditions of radiation dose, stress, deformation …

This article reviews recent basic research on two classes of twins: growth twins and
deformation twins. We focus primarily on studies that aim to understand, via experiments …

The dependence of the width of void-denuded zones (VDZs) on grain boundary (GB)
characters was investigated in Cu irradiated with He ions at elevated temperature …

The energetics and length scales associated with the interaction between point defects
(vacancies and self-interstitial atoms) and grain boundaries in bcc Fe was explored …

Most of the challenges experienced by many engineering materials originate from the
surface which later leads to total failure, hence affecting the resultant mechanical properties …

Ductility is one of the most important mechanical properties for metallic structural materials. It
is measured as the elongation to failure of a sample during standard uniaxial tensile tests …

The recent studies on nanotwinned (NT) and hierarchical nanotwinned (HNT) face-centered
cubic (FCC) metals are presented in this review. The HNT structures have been supposed …

Abstract Graphene (Gr)/Copper (Cu) composites have shown great potential in thermal-
management and information-transport applications. The influences of interface related …

Material performance in extreme radiation environments is central to the design of future
nuclear reactors. Radiation induces significant damage in the form of dislocation loops and …
