Yu20SM Frank dislocation MAX phase Vallet Guitton Guenole

Our new article on MAX phases, "Frank partial dislocation in Ti2AlC-MAX phase induced by matrix-Cu diffusion" is now available in Scripta Materialia (Free access until November 5th, 2020).

I am particularly glad of this outcome as it is a personnal milestone. First, it is the first work entirely performed at the LEM3 as tenured CNRS researcher (chargé de recherche CNRS). Second, it is fruitfull and promising collaborations with colleagues and freinds from my graduate school years: Wenbo, Maxime and Antoine.

Lee02NCOur new article on In-situ observation of the initiation of plasticity by nucleation of prismatic dislocation loops (open access) is now published in Nature Communications [Lee et al. Nat. Commun. 11, 2367 (2020)]. This work propose an in-depth description of the formation of prismatic dislocation loops in metallic nanowires, by the combination of in-situ electron microscopy and large scale atomistic simulation. My contribution to the numercial part of this work has been carried out at the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg in the group of Prof. E. Bitzek.
