Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of chemical disorder on energy dissipation and defect evolution in concentrated solid solution alloys.
Yanwen Zhang,G. Malcolm Stocks,Ke Jin,Ke Jin,Chenyang Lu,Hongbin Bei,Brian C. Sales,Lumin Wang,Laurent Karim Béland,Roger E. Stoller,German D. Samolyuk,M. Caro,Alfredo Caro,William J. Weber,William J. Weber +14 more
TL;DR: It is reported that chemical disorder, with an increasing number of principal elements and/or altered concentrations of specific elements, in single-phase concentrated solid solution alloys can lead to substantial reduction in electron mean free path and orders of magnitude decrease in electrical and thermal conductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation damage tolerant nanomaterials
Irene J. Beyerlein,Alfredo Caro,Michael J. Demkowicz,Nathan A. Mara,Amit Misra,Blas P. Uberuaga +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an approach for processing bulk nanocomposites containing interfaces that are stable under irradiation, which is the key factor in reducing the damage and imparting stability in certain nanomaterials under conditions where bulk materials exhibit void swelling and/or embrittlement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competing plastic deformation mechanisms in nanophase metals
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain-boundary structures in polycrystalline metals at the nanoscale
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of grain-boundary structures in computer-generated Cu and Ni three-dimensional nanocrystalline samples is presented, including both totally random and textured microstructures with grain sizes in the range of 5\char21{}12 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
