Kim, C.-E.; Yoo, S.-H.; Bahr, D. F.; Stampfl, C.; Soon, A.: Uncovering the Thermo-Kinetic Origins of Phase Ordering in Mixed-Valence Antimony Tetroxide by First-Principles Modeling. Inorganic Chemistry 56 (11), pp. 6545 - 6550 (2017)
Here the focus lies on investigating the temperature dependent deformation of material interfaces down to the individual microstructural length-scales, such as grain/phase boundaries or hetero-interfaces, to understand brittle-ductile transitions in deformation and the role of chemistry or crystallography on it.
In this project, we aim to enhance the mechanical properties of an equiatomic CoCrNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA) by interstitial alloying. Carbon and nitrogen with varying contents have been added into the face-centred cubic structured CoCrNi MEA.
