Dislocation density characterisation underpins our understanding of plastic deformation in metals and the design of stronger, more durable alloys. Dislocations—line defects within the crystal ...

Through in situ indentation of TiN in a high-resolution transmission electron microscope, the nucleation of full as well as partial dislocations has been observed from {001} and {111} surfaces, ...

It has been found that the mechanical properties of small volumes significantly differ from those of bulk volumes for a wide variety of materials. Several methods are available for increasing the ...

Materials engineers have developed the ability to manipulate structure and matter at the nanoscale for solid-state alloys ...
