Monte Carlo simulations of copper precipitation in dilute iron-copper alloys during thermal ageing and under electron irradiation
TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulation of the coherent precipitation of copper in α-iron using a vacancy diffusion mechanism was proposed, where the only adjustable parameters are the vacancy concentration and the local vacancy jump frequencies.

Transient nucleation effects in glass formation
Kenneth F. Kelton,A.L. Greer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical technique was developed to treat transient homogeneous nucleation in a one-component system by modeling directly the reaction by which clusters are produced and calculated the nucleation frequency during quench and for the number of nuclei produced and the volume fraction transformed at the end of quench for different rates of cooling from the melt.

TL;DR: In this paper, the analytical electron microscope (AEM) was used to examine the microstructure of type 316LN stainless steel alloys which had been annealed for 50 to 300 hours in the temperature range 600 to 700 °C.
