General correlations between local electronic structures and solute-defect interactions in bcc refractory metals
The interactions between solute atoms and crystalline defects such as vacancies, dislocations, and grain boundaries are essential in determining alloy properties. Here (Nature Communications, (2019) 10:4484) we present a general linear correlation between two descriptors of local electronic structures and the solute-defect interaction energies in binary alloys of body-centered-cubic (bcc) refractory metals (such as W and Ta) with transition-metal substitutional solutes.

PhD positions in mechanics of metamaterials at the University of Minnesota
PhD positions are available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The positions are in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids and structures, with emphasis on mechanical metamaterials. Topics of current interest are:
1) Topological metamaterials;
2) Nonlinear waves in metamaterials and architected solids;
3) Tunable and programmable metastructures.
Call for Abstracts SEM 2020: 'Shock & Blast'
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the ‘Shock & Blast’ session under Track 1: Dynamic Behavior of Materials. This symposium is part of the 2020 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics (Orlando, FL, USA, June 8-11, 2020).
