Defect-Dominated Plasticity and Chemistry in Metals and Alloys

MRS Advances is accepting full-paper submissions on Mechanical Behavior topics related to the symposium topic Defect-Dominated Plasticity and Chemistry in Metals and Alloys from the 2020 MRS Spring/Fall Meeting. Submissions, the review process, and the final decision are not contingent on presentation at the meeting itself. MRS Advances publishes short papers that provide a “snapshot” of an advance within the field of materials research. Such work may include important early indications from a research project that has not yet reached a conclusion, or related results that are significant but not central to the goal of the project. The scientific methods and logic should be rigorous, technically sound, and of interest to other specialists in the area of research. Of particular interest are topics in Defect-Dominated Plasticity and Chemistry in Metals and Alloys: • Structure-property relation of extended defects in metals and alloys • Multiscale modelling of defect properties, defect interaction and defect evolution • In situ and ex situ characterization of defect • Materials design concepts utilizing structural defects • Nanomaterials • Size effects and their exploitation in architecture materials • Materials processing with defects • Defects stimulated segregation
