Compounds within the hexaboride class of materials exhibit a wide variety of interesting
physical phenomena, including polaron formation and quadrupolar order. In particular …

Slip traces in body-centred cubic single crystals usually correspond to various slip planes
and even, in the case of wavy slip traces, to none identifiable crystallographic slip planes …

At low and moderate temperatures, dislocation motion propagates plastic flow in crystals
through the shearing of dense crystallographic planes by an elementary translation. Almost …

The effect of steps on the herringbone pattern appearing at the Au (111) surface is explored.
Scanning tunneling microscopy investigations show that the number of alternating fcc and …

We recently developed an experimental device that allows us to observe the slip traces
under stress at the atomic scale. Here, we report experimental results obtained at the latter …

The advent of scanning probe microscopy () revolutionized surface science in the 1980s and
facilitated the nanotechnology revolution in the ensuing decades. First scanning tunneling …

We examined by in situ scanning probe microscopy the slip traces at the free surface of Ni 3
(Al, Ta) single crystals deformed in ultra high vacuum environment at various temperatures …

The interaction between vicinal atomic steps and slip traces–straight monatomic steps
produced on a crystal surface by the emergence of dislocations–is experimentally …

The {111} surface of niobium single crystals has been investigated by ultra-high vacuum
scanning tunneling microscopy. An atomic reconstruction has been experimentally observed …

Gold single crystals were deformed by uniaxial compression tests with the help of an
experimental apparatus that allows one to characterize in situ, by UHV scanning tunneling …
