Two-Dimensional Van der Waals Epitaxy Kinetics in a Three-Dimensional Perovskite Halide

Yiping Wang, Yunfeng Shi, Guoqing Xin +2

The exploration of emerging materials physics and prospective applications of two-dimensional materials greatly relies on the growth control of their thickness, phases, morphologie…

Dominant shear bands observed in amorphous ZrCuAl nanowires under simulated compression

Qiran Xiao, H. W. Sheng, Yunfeng Shi

We observed the formation of dominant shear bands in model ZrCuAl metallic glass (MG) nanowires (18-nm-long) in molecular dynamics simulations, which implies size-independent incip…

Size-independent Shear Band Formation in Amorphous Nanowires made from Simulated Casting

Yunfeng Shi

Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that surfaces strongly influence the strain localization behavior of amorphous nanowires in tension. A sample preparation routine that simul…

Evaluation of the "disorder temperature" and "free volume" formalisms via simulations of shear banding in amorphous solids

Yunfeng Shi, Michael B. Katz, Hui Li +1

Molecular dynamics simulations of shear band development over 1000% strain in simple shear are used to test whether the local plastic strain rate is proportional to exp(-1/chi), wh…

Structural transformation and localization during simulated nanoindentation of a non-crystalline metal film

Yunfeng Shi, Michael L. Falk

A simulation study demonstrates that localization can arise as the result of the breakdown of stable quasi-crystal-like atomic configurations. Samples produced at elevated quench r…

Strain localization and percolation of stable structure in amorphous solids

Yunfeng Shi, Michael L. Falk

Spontaneous strain localization occurs during mechanical tests of a model amorphous solid simulated using molecular dynamics. The degree of localization depends upon the extent of…
