Mechanism of Local Lattice Distortion Effects on Vacancy Migration Barriers in FCC Alloys
Zhucong Xi, Mingfei Zhang, Louis G. Hector +2
Accurate prediction of vacancy migration energy barriers, , in multi-component alloys is extremely challenging yet critical for the development of diffusional transformation…
Geometries of edge and mixed dislocations in bcc Fe from first principles calculations
Michael R. Fellinger, Anne Marie Z. Tan, Louis G. Hector +1
We use DFT to compute core structures of edge, edge, edge, and mixed disloc…
Prediction of thermal cross-slip stress in magnesium alloys from direct first principles data
Joseph A. Yasi, Louis G. Hector, Dallas R. Trinkle
We develop a first-principles model of thermally-activated cross-slip in magnesium in the presence of a random solute distribution. Electronic structure methods provide data for th…
First-principles data for solid-solution strengthening of magnesium: From geometry and chemistry to properties
Joseph A. Yasi, Louis G. Hector, Dallas R. Trinkle
Solid-solution strengthening results from solutes impeding the glide of dislocations. Existing theories of strength rely on solute-dislocation interactions, but do not consider dis…
