The tritium imaging plate (TIP) technique has been applied to visualize penetration profiles of hydrogen (tritium) loaded in pure tungsten (W) by a dc glow discharge at a temperature ranging from 473 to 673 K. The penetration profile consists of two components, i.e. a highly localized one in the near-surface region (s…

The Escaig model for thermally activated cross-slip in face-centered cubic (fcc) materials assumes that cross-slip preferentially occurs at obstacles that produce large stress gradients on the Shockley partials of the screw dislocations. However, it is unclear as to the source, identity and concentration of such obsta…

It is shown that semi-empirical potentials for bcc metals based on the non-directional second-moment Finnis–Sinclair approximation are able to predict, as a matter of routine, the non-degenerate core structure for the perfect ½⟨111⟩ dislocation if they correctly describe the inter-string pair potential of a rigid mult…

The outstanding thermal properties of diamond and its low reactivity towards hydrogen may make it an attractive plasma-facing material for fusion and calls for a proper evaluation of its behaviour under exposure to fusion-relevant plasma conditions. Micro and nanocrystalline diamond layers, deposited on Mo and Si subs…

The effect of surface treatment on the dynamics of adsorbed poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) was studied using deuterium NMR and temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC). The solid-state deuterium NMR experiments were performed using PMA-d(3), deuterated on the methyl group. The line shape changes fo…

Abstract Severe plastic deformation techniques have been widely used to produce bulk ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline materials. Severe plastic deformation of materials is a complex process that includes both grain refinement via the activities of dislocations and twinning, and grain growth. In this paper, we pre…

Abstract The dendrite morphologies and spacings of directionally solidified DZ125 superalloy were investigated under high thermal gradient about 500 K/cm. The results reveal that, with increasing cooling rate, both the spacings of primary and secondary dendrite arms decrease, and the dendrite morphologies transit from…
