Journal ArticleDOI

Defect, surface and displacement-threshold properties of α-zirconium simulated with a many-body potential

TL;DR: In this article, a many-body interatomic potential has been developed for the metal α-zirconium using the same methodology as that used by Ackland for α-titanium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Void and precipitate strengthening in α-iron: what can we learn from atomic-level modelling?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the application of a model developed recently to study the motion of an initially straight edge dislocation through a row of either voids or coherent copper precipitates in α-iron.
Journal ArticleDOI

Less than 10 percent of star formation in z=0.6 massive galaxies is triggered by major interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the average enhancement in star formation rate (SFR) in major mergers and the contribution of such events to the cosmic SFR are not well estimated, using photometric redshifts, stellar masses and UV SFRs from COMBO17, 24 micron SFR from Spitzer and morphologies from two deep HST cosmological survey fields (ECDFS/GEMS and A901/STAGES) to study the enhancement in SFR as a function of projected galaxy separation.

Less than 10 percent of star formation in z ∼ 0.6 massive galaxies is triggered by major interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the average enhancement in star formation rate (SFR) in major mergers and the contribution of such events to the cosmic SFR are not well estimated, and they apply two-point projected correlation function techniques, which are augmented with morphologically selected very close pairs (separation = 10(10) M(circle dot)) star-forming galaxies at 0.4 < z < 0.8, and find that the SFRs of galaxies undergoing a major interaction (mass ratios <= 1:4 and separations <= 40 kpc) are only 1
