Trace elements diffuse negligible distances through the pristine crystal lattice in minerals: this is a fundamental assumption when using them to decipher geological processes. For example, the ...
Recent experimental findings from the research team led by Prof. Jianbo Hu at the Institute of Fluid Physics, China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), revealed partial dislocation-mediated plastic ...
Dislocation creep is a deformation mechanism transporting shear through the crystal lattice by the motion of line defects, called dislocations. This mechanism involves the elementary processes of ...
Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...
Dislocations are one-dimensional defects that occur in real crystalline solids and control their plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a ...
Climb is the motion of an edge dislocation normal to its slip plane. The process requires the addition or removal of atoms from the extra half plane of the dislocation by diffusion processes. Climb is ...
