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 …

Designing a material from the atomic level to achieve a tailored response in extreme
conditions is a grand challenge in materials research. Nanostructured metals and …

The mechanical behavior of nanolaminates is dominated by interfaces that act as sources,
barriers, and preferred sites for storage and dynamic recovery of glide dislocations. In this …

A novel interface engineering strategy is proposed to simultaneously achieve superior
irradiation tolerance, high strength, and high thermal stability in bulk nanolayered …

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 …

The ability of a material to resist radiation damage is determined by how well the
microstructure can remove vacancies and interstitial defects in equal numbers. However, the …

We use atomistic simulations to show that upon removal or insertion of atoms, misfit
dislocations in Cu-Nb interfaces shift between two adjacent planes, forming pairs of …

Uniaxial compression tests were carried out on micro-pillars fabricated from nanolaminated
graphene (reduced graphene oxide, RGO)-Al composites of different RGO concentrations …
