چکیده

A density functional theory–phase field dislocation dynamics model is used to study stress-induced emission of defects from grain boundaries in nanoscale face-centered cubic (fcc) crystals under ambient conditions. The propensity for stable stacking fault formation and the maximum grain size DSF below which a stacking fault is stable are found to scale inversely with the normalized intrinsic stacking fault energy, cI=lb, where l is the shear modulus and b is the value of the Burgers vector. More significantly, we reveal that a grain size smaller than DSF is a necessary but not sufficient condition for twinning. Rather, it is shown that deformation twinning additionally scales with DSFE 1⁄4 ðcU cI Þ=lb, where cU is the unstable stacking fault energy. The combined effects of the material c-surface and nanograin size for several pure fcc metals are presented in the form of a twinnability map. The findings may provide useful information in controlling nanostructures for improved mechanical performance. Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.

Morphology evolution of single-crystalline hematite nanocrystals: magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts for enhanced facet-driven photoredox activity.

We have developed a new green chemical approach for the shape-controlled synthesis of single-crystalline hematite nanocrystals in aqueous medium. FESEM, HRTEM and SAED techniques were used to determine the morphology and crystallographic orientations of each nanocrystal and its exposed facets. PXRD and HRTEM techniques revealed that the nanocrystals are single crystalline in nature; twins and s...

Dislocation-controlled perforated layer phase in a PEO- b-PS diblock copolymer.

Small angle x-ray analyses show that the shear-induced hexagonal perforated layer phase in a poly(ethylene oxide)- b-polystyrene diblock copolymer consists of trigonal (R3;m) twins and a hexagonal (P6(3)/mmc) structure, with trigonal twins being majority components. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the hexagonal structure is generated through sequential intrinsic stacking faults on...

An investigation on full annealing temperature and annealing twins’ Density in Fe-33Mn-3Si-2Al high-manganese steel

Twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steels with high manganese percentage (17-35%), are mostly used in automotive bodies. Their microstructure at room temperature is austenitic, and due to the low stacking fault energy, major deformation mechanism in them is twinning inside austenite grains which leads to enhanced mechanical strength in the steel. Due to the important effect of heat treatment pr...

Molecular structure of extended defects in monolayer-scale pentacene thin films

The growth of pentacene thin films for applications in thin-film transistors and other organic electronic devices results in a variety of extended structural defects including dislocations, grain boundaries, and stacking faults. We have used scanning tunneling microscopy STM to probe the molecular-scale structure of grain boundaries and stacking faults in a pentacene thin film on a Si 001 surfa...

Transmission electron microscopy study of large field induced anisotropy (Co1−xFex)89Zr7B4 nanocomposite ribbons with dilute Fe-contents

Electron microscopy was employed to investigate the structure of magnetic field crystallized (Co1 xFex)89Zr7B4 alloys with only dilute Fe-contents (x=0, 0.025, 0.05, and 0.10). The x=0.025 and 0.05 alloys exhibit very large field induced anisotropies and multiple nanocrystalline phases (BCC, FCC, and HCP) surrounded by an intergranular amorphous phase. Correlation between the volume fraction cr...
