题目：Cluster connectivity in metallic glass
时间：2019年8月13日上午10:30
地点：邵馆二楼报告厅205室
摘要：
Bulk metallic glasses were discovered more than 30 years ago. It has been established that, for multicomponent metallic glass alloys, the short-range order or the fundamental building block is characterized by solute-centered clusters. Over longer length scales, the clusters are packed on a fractal network forming the medium-range order. Still, there remain many questions on the structure of metallic glasses, particularly with regard to the development of short- and medium-range orders during structure evolution induced by temperature or mechanical deformation. The experimental results seem to show that during crystallization, mechanical deformation, and liquid-to-liquid phase transformation, the short-range order is enhanced but there are no substantial changes in the structure order. Rather, it is the connectivity between clusters at medium-range scale, that drives the dynamic response. In this paper, we explore the meaning of cluster connectivity and apply the concept to explain our experimental observations.

题目：Microscopic Insights of Mechanical Behaviours from Neutron Diffraction Measurements
时间：2019年8月13日上午9:30
地点：邵馆二楼报告厅205室
摘要：Neutron scattering is a powerful method for characterizing the mechanical behaviours of materials. In this talk, I will use several examples, from residual stress mapping in welds to in-situ loading studies of nanostructured and metallic glass alloys, to illustrate how this technique is used to gain microscopic insights of mechanical behaviours in engineering materials. We have recently applied in-situ neutron diffraction measurements to study deformation mechanisms in high entropy alloys at 10 K. In contrast to room temperature, where the deformation is dominated by dislocation activities, at low temperatures, several other deformation mechanisms are also operating, which include stacking faults, twining, phase transformation, and serration. Competitions between these different deformation mechanisms will be illustrated. Finally, scientific opportunities at the new China Spallation Neutron Source will be discussed.
