High strain rate studies of twinning
Where a material can plastically deform by more than one mechanism, the relative extent to which the various mechanisms operate often depends on the strain rate. Most metals... -
The influence of texture on mechanical twinning in calcite
We request 3 days of beam-time on ENGIN-X to investigate the influence of lattice preferred orientation on the onset of mechanical twinning in polycrystalline calcite (CaCO3)... -
Influence of temperature on the ferroelectric-antiferroelectric phase switchi...
The proposed experiment is concerned with the rhombohedral ferroelectric (FE) to orthorhombic antiferroelectric (AFE) phase transformation in PZT (lead zirconate titanate)...
