The evolution of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for hotrolled AA1050. Samples prepared from hot rolled sheet were annealed isothermally for sufficient time to allow complete recrystallization. The microstructural variation and texture evolution in the samples was observed by automatic indexing of Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) patterns in a Scanning ...

This work describes the microstructural evolution of prototypical monolithic U-Mo fuel plates analyzed via scanning electron microscopy and backscattered diffraction (EBSD). The understanding textural nuclear from as-fabricated to post-irradiation is important in assessing changes material properties during irradiation. In our it was observed that typical fabrication techniques applied U-10Mo d...

We study Weyl nodes in materials with broken inversion symmetry. We find based on first-principles calculations that trigonal Te and Se have multiple Weyl nodes near the Fermi level. The conduction bands have a spin splitting similar to the Rashba splitting around the H points, but unlike the Rashba splitting the spin directions are radial, forming a hedgehog spin texture around the H points, w...
