The deformation behaviour of the intermetallic Al$_{2}$Cu-phase was investigated using atomistic simulations and micropillar compression, where slip on the unexpected {211} and {022} slip planes was revealed. Additionally, all possible slip systems for the intermetallic phases were further evaluated and a preference for the activation of slip systems based on their effective interplanar distances as well as the effective Burgers vector is proposed. The effective interplanar distance corresponds to the manually determined interplanar distance, whereas the effective Burgers vector takes a potential dislocation dissociation into account. This new order is: {211}1/2<111>, {022}1/2<111> and {022}<100>, {110}<001>, {310}<001>, {022}<011>, {110}1/2<111>, {112}<110> and {112}1/2<111> from high to low ratio of deff/beff. Also, data on the critical resolved shear stresses of several of these slip systems were measured.

The critical resolved shear stress of an Al 4 wt. % Cu alloy containing a homogeneous distribution of $theta$ precipitates was determined by means of dislocation dynamics simulations. The size distribution, shape, orientation and volume fraction of t he precipitates in the alloy were obtained from transmission electron microscopy observations while the parameters controlling the dislocation/precipitate interactions (elastic mismatch, transformation strains, dislocation mobility and cross-slip probability, etc.) were calculated from atomistic simulations. The precipitates were assumed to be either impenetrable or shearable by the dislocations, the latter characterized by a threshold shear stress that has to be overcome to shear the precipitate. The predictions of the simulations in terms of the critical resolved shear stress and of the dislocation/precipitate interaction mechanisms were in good agreement with the experimental results. It was concluded that the optimum strength of this alloy is attained with a homogeneous distribution of $theta$ precipitates whose average size ($approx$ 40 nm) is at the transition between precipitate shearing and looping. Overall, the dislocation dynamics strategy presented in this paper is able to provide quantitative predictions of precipitate strengthening in metallic alloys.
The critical dynamics of dislocation avalanches in plastic flow is examined using a phase field crystal (PFC) model. In the model, dislocations are naturally created, without any textit{ad hoc} creation rules, by applying a shearing force to the perf ectly periodic ground state. These dislocations diffuse, interact and annihilate with one another, forming avalanche events. By data collapsing the event energy probability density function for different shearing rates, a connection to interface depinning dynamics is confirmed. The relevant critical exponents agree with mean field theory predictions.
Plastic deformation mediated by collective dislocation dynamics is investigated in the two-dimensional phase-field crystal model of sheared single crystals. We find that intermittent fluctuations in the dislocation population number accompany bursts in the plastic strain-rate fluctuations. Dislocation number fluctuations exhibit a power-law spectral density $1/f^2$ at high frequencies $f$. The probability distribution of number fluctuations becomes bimodal at low driving rates corresponding to a scenario where low density of defects alternate at irregular times with high population of defects. We propose a simple stochastic model of dislocation reaction kinetics that is able to capture these statistical properties of the dislocation density fluctuations as a function of shear rate.
It is well known that diamond does not deform plastically at room temperature and usually fails in catastrophic brittle fracture. Here we demonstrate room-temperature dislocation plasticity in sub-micrometer sized diamond pillars by in-situ mechanica l testing in the transmission electron microscope. We document in unprecedented details of spatio-temporal features of the dislocations introduced by the confinement-free compression, including dislocation generation and propagation. Atom-resolved observations with tomographic reconstructions show unequivocally that mixed-type dislocations with Burgers vectors of 1/2<110> are activated in the non-close-packed {001} planes of diamond under uniaxial compression of <111> and <110> directions, respectively, while being activated in the {111} planes under the <100> directional loading, indicating orientation-dependent dislocation plasticity. These results provide new insights into the mechanical behavior of diamond and stimulate reconsideration of the basic deformation mechanism in diamond as well as in other brittle covalent crystals at low temperatures.

Scanning tunneling microscopy combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveal a dislocation-mediated island diffusion mechanism for Cu on Ag(111), a highly mismatched system. Cluster motion is tracked with atomic precision at multiple temperature s and diffusion barriers and prefactors are determined from direct measurements of hop rates. The non-monotonic size dependence of the diffusion barrier is in good agreement with simulations and can lead to enhanced mass transport upon coarsening, in surprising contrast to the traditional island diffusion models where diffusivity reduces with cluster size.
