The interaction mechanisms between dislocations and coherent twin boundary (CTB) were
determined with molecular dynamics simulations. The dislocation slip rate is found to …

It is well-known that grain boundaries (GBs) increase the electrical resistivity of metals due to
their enhanced electron scattering. The resistivity values of GBs are determined by their …

Miniaturized mechanical tests are commonly utilized to evaluate properties of materials,
including thin films, nanostructured, and irradiated materials. However, the specimen size …

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the impact of a coherent Σ3
