Atomistic Simulations of Dislocation Nucleation in Single Crystals and Grain Boundaries

The objective of this research is to use atomistic simulations to investigate dislocation nucleation from grain boundaries in face-centered cubic aluminum and copper. This research primarily focuses on asymmetric tilt grain boundaries and has three main components. First, this research uses molecu...
