Traditional inorganic thermoelectric materials exhibit excellent thermoelectric performance
but poor flexibility. As a new type of flexible inorganic thermoelectric material, Ag 2 S owns a …

A current goal driving alloy development is the identification of alloy compositions for high
temperature applications but with the additional requirement of sufficient ductility at ambient …

Grain boundary (GB) plasticity dominates the mechanical behaviours of nanocrystalline
materials. Under mechanical loading, GB configuration and its local deformation geometry …

In this work, we utilize atomistic simulations to calculate the generalized stacking fault
energies (GSFEs), which are related to the dislocation glide process, on four types of slip …

High pressure structural transformations are typically characterized by the thermodynamic
state (pressure-volume-temperature) of the material. We present in situ x-ray diffraction …

In this work, we use density functional theory to calculate the entire generalized stacking
fault energy (GSFE) surface for eight transition metals with a face-centered cubic structure …

The internal twin-boundaries in lamellar γ-TiAl alloys, namely true-twin (TT), rotational
boundary (RB), and pseudo-twin (PT), are known to be effective in strengthening the TiAl …

Constructing a layered structure is an effective approach to achieve a balance between
strength and toughness. The toughening mechanisms of layered composites are generally …

Using in situ x-ray diffraction measurements in shock-compressed copper (38–276 GPa), we
show that the ambient face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure transforms to the body-centered …

This study systematically analyzes the {10 1¯ 2} twin in Hexagonally Close Packed (HCP)
materials. Despite several propositions over 50 years, the Twin Boundary (TB) structure and …
