Non-invasive improvement of machining by reversible electrochemical doping: a proof of principle with computational modeling
Anastassia Sorkin, Yunfa Guo, Manabu Ihara +2
We propose that the machinability of hard ceramics can be improved by reversible electrochemical doping. On the example of TiO2, we show in a combined density functional theory-mol…

Effect of a weak magnetic field on ductile-brittle transition in micro-cutting of single-crystal calcium fluoride
Yunfa Guo, Yan Jin Lee, Yu Zhang +3
Magneto-plasticity occurs when a weak magnetic field alters material plasticity and offers a viable solution to enhance ductile-mode cutting of brittle materials. This study demons…

Damage along an ion track in diamond: a computer simulation
A. Sorkin, Joan Adler, R. Kalish
We present tight-binding molecular dynamics simulations of the structural modifications that result from the "thermal spike" that occurs during the passage of a heavy fast ion thro…
