Journal ArticleDOI
Stacking fault energies and slip in nanocrystalline metals
TL;DR: It is shown, using molecular dynamics simulations, that the nature of slip in nanocrystalline metals cannot be described in terms of the absolute value of the stacking fault energy—a correct interpretation requires the generalized stacking faultEnergy curve, involving both stable and unstable stacking fault energies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain-boundary sliding in nanocrystalline fcc metals
TL;DR: In this paper, the microscopic view of grain-boundary sliding is addressed, and two atomic processes are distinguished in the interfaces during sliding: atomic shuffling and stress-assisted free volume migration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic Deformation with Reversible Peak Broadening in Nanocrystalline Nickel
TL;DR: During plastic deformation of electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel, the peak broadening is reversible upon unloading; hence, the deformation process does not build up a residual dislocation network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiscale modeling of crowdion and vacancy defects in body-centered-cubic transition metals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the structure and mobility of single self-interstitial atom and vacancy defects in body-centered-cubic transition metals forming groups 5B (vanadium, niobium, and tantalum) and 6B (chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten) of the Periodic Table.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomic mechanism for dislocation emission from nanosized grain boundaries
TL;DR: In this paper, the atomic mechanism responsible for the emission of partial dislocations from grain boundaries (GB's) in nanocrystalline metals was examined and it was shown that in 12 and 20 nm grain size samples GB's containing GB dislocation can emit a partial dislocation during deformation by local atomic shuffling and stress-assisted free volume migration.
