Phonon Scattering in the Complex Strain Field of a Dislocation
Yandong Sun, Yanguang Zhou, Ramya Gurunathan +5
Strain engineering is critical to the performance enhancement of electronic and thermoelectric devices because of its influence on the material thermal conductivity. However, curre…
Probing the Phonon Mean Free Paths in Dislocation Core by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Yandong Sun, Yanguang Zhou, Ming Hu +3
Thermal management is extremely important for designing high-performance devices. The lattice thermal conductivity of materials is strongly dependent on the structural defects at d…
Mechanisms of skyrmion and skyrmion crystal formation from the conical phase
Taehoon Kim, Haijun Zhao, Ben Xu +6
Real-space topological magnetic structures such as skyrmions and merons are promising candidates for information storage and transport. However, the microscopic mechanisms that con…
Electrical Control of Large Rashba Effect in Oxide Heterostructures
Yan Song, Dong Zhang, Ben Xu +2
Large Rashba effect efficiently tuned by an external electric field is highly desired for spintronic devices. Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that large Rashba…
On the importance of prismatic/basal interfaces in the growth of (-1012) twins in hexagonal close-packed crystals
Ben Xu, Laurent Capolungo, David Rodney
The growth process of of (-1012) twins is studied in Magnesium using atomistic simulations. Two twin seeds are considered and both cases, a specific interface, which places face-to…
