Stress-triggered atomic explosion of trapped hydrogen initiates crack nucleation
Liang Gao, Thomas Schwarz-Selinger, Martin Balden +6
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) has persisted for more than a century as one of the most intractable problems in materials science. The prevailing view1 that diffusive H governs embrit…
Hydrogen-induced lattice cohesion weakening favors atomic displacement
Liang Gao, Yiran Mao, Markus Wilde +9
Atomic displacement -- the fundamental process underlying diverse deformation and damage phenomena in metals, from irradiation defect production to stress-driven dislocation motion…
Percolation-driven -relaxation enables resonant acceleration of crystallization in amorphous phase-change materials
Yu-Yao Liu, Liang Gao, Jun-Ying Jiang +9
Amorphous phase-change materials enable fast and reversible switching in optical and electronic devices, yet crystallization kinetics are still controlled primarily through empiric…
A Non-Equilibrium Dissipation Parameter and the Ideal Glass
Jun-Ying Jiang, Liang Gao, Hai-Bin Yu
Glass materials, as quintessential non-equilibrium systems, exhibit properties such as energy dissipation that are highly sensitive to their preparation histories. A key challenge…
Unified percolation scenario for the and processes in simple glass formers
Liang Gao, Hai-Bin Yu, Thomas B. Schrøder +1
Given the vast differences in interaction details, describing the dynamics of structurally disordered materials in a unified theoretical framework presents a fundamental challenge…
