How does synchro-Shockley dislocations propagate in Laves phases? As published in Scripta Materialia with the title "Thermally activated nature of synchro-Shockley dislocations in Laves phases", we evidenced the different mechanisms responsible for a kink-pair-type propagation sensitive to temperature. More details in Xie et al., Scripta Materialia 235 (2023) 115588. Manuscript freely available on HAL.
Our last work "Unveiling the mechanisms of motion of synchro-Shockley dislocations in Laves phases" as just been published in Physical Review Materials. In collaboration with the RWTH Aachen, we demonstrate that nucleation and propagation of kink pairs is the energetically favorable mechanism for the motion of the synchro-Shockley dislocation. Additionally, we identified a mechanism of nonsequential atomic shuffling for the motion of such dislocation. More detail on Xie et al., Physical Review Materials 7 (2023), 053605.

I am gald to announce that our new article "Tailoring the Plasticity of Topologically Close-Packed Phases via the Crystals’ Fundamental Building Blocks" is now published in Advanced Materials in open access. This work is the result of a large collaboration led by RWTH Aachen (DE), involving the MPIe (DE), the Pprime institute (FR) and myself.
