Grain Boundary Motion on Curved Substrate

Kongtao Chen

Grain boundary (GB) kinetics is important for many applications in 2d materials and metal thin films. To study how the substrate shape affects GB mobility and kinetics, we develop…

Disconnection-Mediated Twin/Twin-Junction Migration in FCC metals

Mingjie Xu, Kongtao Chen, Fan Cao +7

We present the results of novel, time-resolved, in situ HRTEM observations, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and disconnection theory that elucidate the mechanism by which the…

Structured Model Pruning of Convolutional Networks on Tensor Processing Units

Kongtao Chen, Ken Franko, Ruoxin Sang

The deployment of convolutional neural networks is often hindered by high computational and storage requirements. Structured model pruning is a promising approach to alleviate thes…

Grain-Boundary Topological Phase Transitions

Kongtao Chen, David J. Srolovitz, Jian Han

The formation and migration of disconnections (line defects constrained to the grain boundary (GB) plane with both dislocation and step character) control many of the kinetic and d…

On the Temperature Dependence of Grain Boundary Mobility

Kongtao Chen, Jian Han, David J. Srolovitz

The grain boundary (GB) mobility relates GB velocity to the thermodynamic driving forces and is central to our understanding of microstructure evolution in polycrystals. Recent mol…

Grain Boundary Shear Coupling is Not a Grain Boundary Property

Kongtao Chen, Jian Han, Spencer L. Thomas +1

Shear coupling implies that all grain boundary (GB) migration necessarily creates mechanical stresses/strains and is a key component to the evolution of all polycrystalline microst…
