Classics in Materials Science: Shockley and Read’s dislocation models of crystal grain boundaries
Any crystalline material contains many defects. Depending on the topology of the defects, they can be classified as point, line, surface and volume defects. Of these, only point defects are equilibrium defects — that is, at any temperature above absolute … Continue reading
A new, bigger home for Materialia Indica
A quick announcement to tell you all that Materialia Indica now has a second home which is bigger, more open, and more feature-rich.
On computer simulations in materials science
The conventional analytical treatment of actual systems can in fact only be successfully performed in the simplest cases. It fails when a more or less realistic model of multiphase alloys in considered. As a matter of fact, computer simulation is … Continue reading
