Deformation twinning in pure aluminum has been considered to be a unique property of nanostructured aluminum. A lingering mystery is whether deformation twinning occurs in coarse-grained or single-crystal aluminum, at scales beyond nanotwins. Here, we present the first experimental demonstration of macro deformation twins in single-crystal aluminum formed under ultrahigh strain-rate ($sim$10$^6$ s$^{-1}$), large shear strain (200$%$) via dynamic equal channel angular pressing. Deformation twinning is rooted in the rate dependences of dislocation motion and twinning, which are coupled, complementary processes during severe plastic deformation under ultrahigh strain rates.

A mesoscale study of a single crystal nickel-base superalloy subjected to an industrially relevant process simulation has revealed the complex interplay between microstructural development and the micromechanical behaviour. As sample gauge volumes we
re smaller than the length scale of the highly cored structure of the parent material from which they were produced, their subtle composition differences gave rise to differing work hardening rates, influenced by varying secondary dendrite arm spacings, gamma-prime phase solvus temperatures and a topologically inverted gamma/gamma-prime microstructure. The gamma-prime precipitates possessed a characteristic `X morphology, resulting from the simultaneously active solute transport mechanisms of thermally favoured octodendritic growth and N-type rafting, indicating creep-type mechanisms were prevalent. High resolution-electron backscatter diffraction (HR-EBSD) characterisation reveals deformation patterning that follows the gamma/gamma-prime microstructure, with high geometrically necessary dislocation density fields localised to the gamma/gamma-prime interfaces; Orowan looping is evidently the mechanism that mediated plasticity. Examination of the residual elastic stresses indicated the `X gamma-prime precipitate morphology had significantly enhanced the deformation heterogeneity, resulting in stress states within the gamma channels that favour slip, and that encourage further growth of gamma-prime precipitate protrusions. The combination of such localised plasticity and residual stresses are considered to be critical in the formation of the recrystallisation defect in subsequent post-casting homogenisation heat treatments.
Superconductivity in group IV semiconductors is desired for hybrid devices combining both semiconducting and superconducting properties. Following boron doped diamond and Si, superconductivity has been observed in gallium doped Ge, however the obtain
ed specimen is in polycrystalline form [Herrmannsdorfer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 217003 (2009)]. Here, we present superconducting single-crystalline Ge hyperdoped with gallium or aluminium by ion implantation and rear-side flash lamp annealing. The maximum concentration of Al and Ga incorporated into substitutional positions in Ge is eight times higher than the equilibrium solid solubility. This corresponds to a hole concentration above 10^21 cm-3. Using density functional theory in the local density approximation and pseudopotential plane-wave approach, we show that the superconductivity in p-type Ge is phonon-mediated. According to the ab initio calculations the critical superconducting temperature for Al- and Ga-doped Ge is in the range of 0.45 K for 6.25 at.% of dopant concentration being in a qualitative agreement with experimentally obtained values.
Tungsten carbide cobalt hardmetals are commonly used as cutting tools subject to high operation temperature and pressures, where the mechanical performance of the tungsten carbide phase affects the wear and lifetime of the material. In this study, th
e mechanical behaviour of the isolated tungsten carbide (WC) phase was investigated using single crystal micropillar compression. Micropillars 1-5 ${mu}$m in diameter, in two crystal orientations, were fabricated using focused ion beam (FIB) machining and subsequently compressed between room temperature and 600 {deg}C. The activated plastic deformation mechanisms were strongly anisotropic and weakly temperature dependent. The flow stresses of basal-oriented pillars were about three times higher than the prismatic pillars, and pillars of both orientations soften slightly with increasing temperature. The basal pillars tended to deform by either unstable cracking or unstable yield, whereas the prismatic pillars deformed by slip-mediated cracking. However, the active deformation mechanisms were also sensitive to pillar size and shape. Slip trace analysis of the deformed pillars showed that {10-10} prismatic planes were the dominant slip plane in WC. Basal slip was also identified as a secondary slip system, activated at high temperatures.
Single crystal synthesis, structure, electric polarization and heat capacity measurements on hexagonal InMnO3 show that this small R ion in the RMnO3 series is ferroelectric (space group P63cm). Structural analysis of this system reveals a high degre
e of order within the MnO5 polyhedra but significant distortions in the R-O bond distributions compared to the previously studied materials. Point-charge estimates of the electric polarization yield an electrical polarization of approximately 7.8 micro C/cm^2, 26% larger than the well-studied YMnO3 system. This system with enhanced room temperature polarization values may serve as a possible replacement for YMnO3 in device application.
The plastic deformation mechanisms of tungsten carbide at room and elevated temperatures influence the wear and fracture properties of WC-Co hardmetal composite materials. Although the active slip planes and residual defect populations of room-temper
ature deformed WC have been previously characterised, the relationship between the residual defect structures, including glissile and sessile dislocations and stacking faults, and the active slip modes, which produce slip traces, is not yet clear. Part 1 of this study showed that {10-10} was the primary slip plane at all temperatures and orientations. In the present work, Part 2, crystallographic lattice reorientations of deformed WC micropillar mid-sections were mapped using focused ion beam (FIB) cross-sectioning and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Lattice reorientation axis analysis has been used to discriminate <a> prismatic slip from multiple <c+a> prismatic slip in WC, enabling defect-scale deformation mechanisms to be distinguished, and their contribution to plastic deformation to be assessed, independently of TEM residual defect analysis. In prismatic-oriented pillars, deformation was primarily accommodated by cooperative multiple slip of <c+a> defects at room temperature, and by <a> dislocations at 600 {deg}C. In near-basal oriented pillars, the total slip direction was along <c>. The degree of lattice rotation and plastic buckling in the deformed basal pillar could be explained by prismatic slip constrained by the indenter face and pillar base.
