Cleavage, in structural geology and petrology, describes a type of planar rock feature that develops as a result of deformation and metamorphism.The degree of deformation and metamorphism along with ...
The reduction in diameter that occurs as a sample material is subjected to tensile stresses. Necking, in engineering or materials science, is a mode of tensile deformation where relatively large ...
The chemical or electrochemical reaction between a material, usually a metal, and its environment that produces a deterioration of the material and its properties.
Segregation in materials refers to the enrichment of a material constituent at a free surface or an internal interface of a material. In a polycrystalline solid, a segregation site can be a ...
Volume defects in crystals are three-dimensional aggregates of atoms or vacancies. It is common to divide them into four classes in an imprecise classification that is based on a combination of the ...
The two-dimensional defects that appear in crystals can be usefully divided into three types: free surfaces, which are the external surfaces at which the solid terminates at a vapor or liquid, ...
In the original concept of Volterra, the Burgers' vector of a crystal dislocation is a translation vector of the crystal, that is, a vector that connects atom positions so that the crystal can be ...
