Plastic Instability in Co-Cr-Ni-Mo alloy wires drawn with different drawing practices by GVK, Sai Srikanth, Tan, Ming Jen, Liu, Zhenyun

“…The lower instability in the FDD wires at 75% CW, was attributed to the smaller grain size, higher dislocation density and lower twin spacing which contributed to higher γ and m. Plastic strain localization because of shear band formation was noticed in the FDD 95% CW wires, which contributed to lowered ductility and increased instability in the wire due to reduced γ and m. …”

Experimental observation of optical Weyl points and Fermi arc-like surface states by Chong, Yi Dong, Chen, Kevin P., Rechtsman, Mikael C., Noh, Jiho, Huang, Sheng, Leykam, Daniel

“…Weyl fermions are hypothetical two-component massless relativistic particles in three-dimensional (3D) space, proposed by Hermann Weyl in 1929. Their band-crossing points, called ‘Weyl points’, carry a topological charge and are therefore highly robust. …”
