PhD student or postdoc position in “Atomistic Computer Simulation of Grain Boundary Structure and Mechanics”

Submitted by TobiasBrink on

The Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (Düsseldorf, Germany) offers a position in the department Structure and Nano-/Micromechanics of Materials (Prof. G. Dehm): PhD student or postdoc position in “Atomistic Computer Simulation of Grain Boundary Structure and Mechanics”

Understanding how grain boundaries influence plasticity will lead to significant advances in material design. In the context of the department’s research, the overarching aim of this PhD project is to connect grain boundary structures in fcc metals to physical properties.

Nanoindentation processes in full view

Submitted by Daniel Kiener on

The microelectronics revolution is one of the most influential drivers of current industrial developments. To probe the mechanical properties of ever shrinking materials and components, nanoindentation has come to be an omnipresent and indispensable method. In a recent combined experimental and computational approach, an international team of scientists was for the first time able to resolve the dynamic atomistic processes taking place at the elastic-plastic transition during nanoindentation.
