AllgemeinIn situ microscopy directly reveals dislocation formation in MAX phase
Researchers in IMN has recently reported the direct observation of nucleation and propagation of basal plane dislocations in Nb2AlC, a member of MAX phases, using nanomechanical testing inside a transmission electron microscope. MAX Phases (with M an early transition metal, A an A group element and X being either nitrogen or carbon) constitute an interesting […]Researchers in IMN has recently reported the direct observation of nucleation and propagation of basal plane dislocations in Nb2AlC, a member of MAX phases, using nanomechanical testing inside a transmission electron microscope.
