Funded Activity Summary

Quantitatively probing the nanoscale plasticity of a single grain boundary. This project aims to study grain boundaries, which are important in the mechanical behaviour of nanomaterials. However, the exact contribution of individual grain boundaries to mechanical properties is not well understood, affecting advanced materials design. This project will use in-situ deformation transmission electron microscopy techniques to reveal how individual grain boundaries deform and interact with dislocations, and to link directly the structures and orientation of individual grain boundaries with mechanical behaviours. Expected results are better structural design of advanced metallic nanomaterials with superior mechanical performance.
