Crystal nucleation and growth in high-entropy alloys revealed by atomic electron tomography
Yakun Yuan, Saman Moniri, Yao Yang +8
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) balance mixing entropy and intermetallic phase formation enthalpy, creating a vast compositional space for structural and functional materials (1-6). The…
Three-dimensional imaging of individual carbon atoms
Na Yeon Kim, Hanfeng Zhong, Jianhua Zhang +13
Carbon is fundamental to science and technology due to its diverse bonding configurations, structural versatility, and essential role in defining the mechanical, chemical, electron…
Capturing 3D atomic defects and phonon localization at the 2D heterostructure interface
Xuezeng Tian, Xingxu Yan, Georgios Varnavides +9
The 3D local atomic structures and crystal defects at the interfaces of heterostructures control their electronic, magnetic, optical, catalytic and topological quantum properties,…
Direct observation of 3D atomic packing in monatomic amorphous materials
Yakun Yuan, Dennis S. Kim, Jihan Zhou +10
Liquids and solids are two fundamental states of matter. However, due to the lack of direct experimental determination, our understanding of the 3D atomic structure of liquids and…
Determining the three-dimensional atomic structure of a metallic glass
Yao Yang, Jihan Zhou, Fan Zhu +12
Amorphous solids such as glass are ubiquitous in our daily life and have found broad applications ranging from window glass and solar cells to telecommunications and transformer co…
Correlating 3D atomic defects and electronic properties of 2D materials with picometer precision
Xuezeng Tian, Dennis S. Kim, Shize Yang +10
The exceptional electronic, optical and chemical properties of two-dimensional materials strongly depend on the 3D atomic structure and crystal defects. Using Re-doped MoS2 as a mo…
Capturing Nucleation at 4D Atomic Resolution
Jihan Zhou, Yongsoo Yang, Yao Yang +12
Nucleation plays a critical role in many physical and biological phenomena ranging from crystallization, melting and evaporation to the formation of clouds and the initiation of ne…
