The inherent brittleness of ceramics, primarily due to restricted atomic motions from rigid
ionic or covalent bonded structures, is a persistent challenge. This characteristic hinders …

The accumulation of the dislocations and development of dislocation structures in plastically
deformed Ni201 is examined using dedicated analyses of Electron Back-Scatter Diffraction …

The present work, for the first time, quantitatively studies the evolution of both dislocations
and deformation twins with various strain rates in an ATZ311 Mg alloy. Interrupted tensile …

Diffraction peak profile analysis (DPPA) is a valuable method to understand the
microstructure and defects present in a crystalline material. Peak broadening anisotropy …

Grain refinement can lead to the strengthening of metallic materials according to the Hall-
Petch relationship. However, our recent results suggested that grain boundary sliding is the …

The limited slip systems of magnesium (Mg) and its alloys hamper their widespread
applications in key areas. Rational design of such lightweight alloys requires fundamental …

The analysis of line broadening in X-ray and neutron diffraction patterns using profile
functions constructed on the basis of well-established physical principles and TEM …

The long-lasting expectation “the hotter the engine, the better” calls for the development of
high-temperature metallic alloys. Although the high specific strengths of titanium alloys are …

X-ray line profile analysis is an effective and non-destructive method for the characterization
of the microstructure in crystalline materials. Supporting research in the area of x-ray line …

Line profile analysis was carried out on neutron diffraction patterns collected by the energy-
dispersive method for an in situ tensile-deformed AISI-316 stainless steel specimen. The …
