Research in the field of high-entropy alloys has been surging since the 2010s. As widely
acknowledged, research interests in this field are largely sparked by the enormous …

A material strength depends on its microstructure, which in turn, is controlled by an
engineering process. Strengthening mechanisms like work hardening, precipitate, and grain …

Lithium metal anodes (LMAs) show unique superiority for secondary batteries because they
possess the lowest molar mass and reduction potential among metallic elements. It can …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are evolving multi-component intermetallic systems, wherein
multiple principal elements tend to form single solid-solution-like phases with a strong …

Recent experiments on nanostructured materials, such as nanoparticles, nanowires,
nanotubes, nanopillars, thin films, and nanocrystals have revealed a host of “ultra-strength” …

Most next-generation Li ion battery chemistries require a functioning lithium metal (Li)
anode. However, its application in secondary batteries has been inhibited because of …

This review examines the recent literature that has focused on uniaxial compression
experiments of single crystals at the micrometer scale. Collectively, the studies discovered …

Twinning is a fundamental deformation mode that competes against dislocation slip in
crystalline solids. In metallic nanostructures, plastic deformation requires higher stresses …

Deformation response of ferrite and martensite in a commercially produced dual-phase
sheet steel with a nominal composition of 0.15% C–1.45% Mn–0.30% Si (wt.%) was …

Atomic-level modeling of materials provides fundamental insights into phase stability,
structure and properties of crystalline defects, and to physical mechanisms of many …
