Interface-dependent nucleation in nanostructured layered composites

Nanocomposite properties are to a large extent governed by interface-associated mechanisms. Via atomic-scale modeling of bi-phase interfaces, we reveal a strong correlation between interface structure and the nucleation of dislocations. We show that the number and types of dislocations that are emit...
