Enabling plastic co-deformation of disparate phases in a laser rapid solidified Sr-modified Al-Si eutectic through partial-dislocation-mediated-plasticity in Si

Arkajit Ghosh, Wenqian Wu, Bibhu Prasad Sahu +2

Nano-scale eutectics, such as rapid solidified Al-Si, exhibit enhanced yield strength and strain hardening but plasticity is limited by cracking of the hard phase (Si). Mechanisms…

Three-dimensional morphology of an ultrafine Al-Si eutectic produced via laser rapid solidification

Xinyi Zhou, Paul Chao, Luke Sloan +4

Al-Si alloys processed by laser rapid solidification yield eutectic microstructures with ultrafine and interconnected fibers. Such fibrous structures have long been thought to bear…

Strength of Cu-TiN and Al-TiN interfaces from first-principles

S. K. Yadav, R. Ramprasad, J. Wang +2

Using density functional theory (DFT) based first principles calculations, we show that the preferred interfacial plane orientation relationship is determined by the strength of bo…

The Smallest Metallic Nanorods Using Physical Vapor Deposition

Xiaobin Niu, Stephen P. Stagon, Hanchen Huang +2

We first present a theory of the smallest diameter and then use the theory to guide the experimental realization of Cu nanorods of ~20 nm in diameter and Au nanorods of ~10 nm in d…
