Small-scale yielding around a stationary mode I crack in a cubic single crystal is analyzed in terms of plane-strain elastically anisotropic discrete dislocation plasticity (DDP). Two symmetric crack orientations are considered with two objectives in mind. First, we study the sensitivity to materials aspects such as d…

A previously reported diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-phenyl copolymer is modified by adding methoxy or octyloxy side chains on the phenyl spacer. The influence of these alkoxy substitutions on the physical, opto-electronic properties, and photovoltaic performance were investigated. It was found that the altered physical p…

Many Heusler compounds are predicted to be half-metallic ferromagnets and thus find extensive interest as materials for spintronic applications, an example of which is the Co 2 Cr 1– x Fe x Al series. So far, bulk samples of that series, in particular, Cr-rich samples, do not verify those predictions, and various stud…
