abstract = {Passivating graphene with a layer of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is known to protect it from environment effects that degrade its mobility. However, growth of high-quality BN on graphene is challenging because of the lack of surface dangling bonds. Here, we report the growth of thin BN films (down to 10 nm) on monolayer epigraphene grown on silicon carbide single-crystal substrates using metal\textendashorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The BN film has continuous coverage on the epigraphene surface, with smooth morphology. Particles consisting of layered BN are also observed on the surface with a higher density at the step edges. High-Resolution Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRSTEM) reveals high structural quality BN layers, with a clean and abrupt interface with graphene. The BN/epigraphene/SiC heterostructure is stable up to high temperature (1550 °C), and annealing improves its crystallinity. These results show that MOVPE growth technique has a potential for large-scale production of BN fully coated graphene and high-temperature applications.},

abstract = {2D boron nitride (2D-BN) was synthesized by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy on polycrystalline and monocrystalline Ni substrates using gaseous borazine and active nitrogen generated by a remote plasma source. The excess of nitrogen atoms allows to overcome the thickness self-limitation active on Ni when using borazine alone. The nucleation density and the shape of the 2D-BN domains are clearly related to the Ni substrate preparation and to the growth parameters. Based on spatially-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and on the detection of the π plasmon peak, we discuss the origin of the N1s and B1s components and their relationship with an electronic coupling at the interface. After optimization of the growth parameters, a full 2D-BN coverage is obtained, although the material thickness is not evenly distributed. The 2D-BN presents a granular structure on (111) oriented Ni grains, showing a rather poor cristallographic quality. On the contrary, high quality 2D-BN is found on (101) and (001) Ni grains, where triangular islands are observed whose lateral size is limited to ∼20 μm.},

abstract = {In view of the extensive use of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) in 2D material electronics, it becomes important to refine its dielectric characterization in terms of low-field permittivity and high-field strength and conductivity up to the breakdown voltage. The present study aims at filling this gap using DC and RF transport in two Au-hBN-Au capacitor series of variable thickness in the 10\textendash100 nm range, made of large high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) crystals and a polymer derivative ceramics (PDC) crystals. We deduce an out-of-plane low field dielectric constant ϵ ∥ = 3.4 ± 0.2 consistent with the theoretical prediction of Ohba et al, that narrows down the generally accepted window ϵ ∥ = 3\textendash4. The DC-current leakage at high-field is found to obey the Frenkel-Pool law for thermally-activated trap-assisted electron transport with a dynamic dielectric constant ϵ ∥ ≃ 3.1 and a trap energy Φ B ≃ 1.3 eV, that is comparable with standard technologically relevant dielectrics.},

abstract = {Nitrogen and carbon play an important role in the oxidation of Ti-Al intermetallic alloys in air. The insertion and diffusion of these elements in the γ-TiAl phase are investigated by first-principle computations. The accommodation of C and N atoms in several likely interstitial positions has been evaluated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results show that both carbon and nitrogen prefer Ti-rich environments. Then, considering the possible jumps among the stable and metastable interstitial sites, the diffusion coefficients have also been obtained from ab initio calculations. According to the Transitional State Theory, in order to compute atomic jump rates, diffusion energy barriers and vibrational modes need to be known. Herein, barrier energies are obtained using the Climbing Image Nudged Elastic Band method. Vibrational properties are computed using the finite displacement method. Finally, diffusion coefficients are obtained solving the transport equation in the infinite time limit, using an analytical approach. The obtained results are compared to the diffusion of oxygen in γ-TiAl, investigated in previous studies. An anisotropic diffusion is obtained for all the interstitial species.},

abstract = {Titanium and its alloys undergo temperature-driven martensitic phase transformation leading to the development of complex microstructures at mesoscale. Optimizing the mechanical properties of these materials requires an understanding of the correlations between the processing parameters and the mechanisms involved in the microstructure formation and evolution. In this work, we study the temperature-induced phase transition from BCC to HCP in pure titanium by atomistic modeling and investigate the influence of local stress conditions on the final martensite morphology. We simulate the transition under different stress conditions and carry a detailed analysis of the microstructural evolution during transition using a deformation gradient map that characterizes the local lattice distortion. The analysis of final martensite morphologies shows how mechanical constraints influence the number of selected variants and the number/type of defects in the final microstructure. We give insight on the origin and structure of different interfaces experimentally observed, such as inter-variant boundaries and antiphase defects. In particular, we show how antiphase defects originate from the two-fold degeneracy shuffling displacement arriving during the transition and how the triple junction formation drives the texture evolution when local stresses prevent a free shape change of the matrix surrounding the growing martensite nuclei.},

abstract = {A multiscale modeling methodology involving discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) and crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) was used to study the grain size effect in FCC polycrystalline plasticity. The developed model is based on the dislocation density storage-recovery framework and is expanded to the scale of slip systems. DDD simulations were used to establish a constitutive law incorporating the main dislocation mechanisms that are involved in the strain hardening process observed in monotonically deformed FCC polycrystals. This was achieved by calculating the key features controlling the accumulation of the forest dislocation density within the grains and the polarized dislocation density at the grain boundaries during plastic deformation. The model was then integrated with a CPFEM model at the polycrystalline aggregate scale to compute short- and long-range internal stresses within the grains. These simulations quantitatively reproduced the deformation curves of the FCC polycrystals as a function of grain size. Because of its predictive ability to reproduce the Hall\textendashPetch effect in a physically justified approach, the proposed framework has significant potential for further applications.},

In this context, the growth of ZnS nanowires has been investigated, as bulk ZnS compound exhibits numerous unstable polytypes at high temperatures, but their stable occurrence is highly anticipated in a nanowire due to its special quasi-dimensional shape and growth modes. In this work, the idea is to provide a change in the growth mechanism via the physical state of catalyst droplet (liquid or solid) and hence, study the induced structural modifications in ZnS nanowires. The HRTEM images of VLS (via liquid alloyed catalyst) grown ZnS NWs show periodic stacking faults, which is precisely identified as a stacking sequence of cubic or hexagonal individual planes leading to an astonishing 15R crystal polymorph. This crystallographic phase is observed for the first time in nanowires. Contrastingly, NWs grown with VSS (via solid catalyst) show crystal polytypes of zinc blende and wurtzite. We calculate and discuss the role of cohesive energies in the formation of such ZnS polytypes. Further, we present the selection rules for the crystallization of such 15R structure in NWs and discuss the involved VLS and VSS growth mechanisms leading to the formation of different crystal phases.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].},

abstract = {The formation of pores in CMSX-4 nickel based superalloys is detrimental to the service life of the material. A way to avoid the problem is to treat the superalloys under Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), which enables a large volume fraction of pores to be annihilated. This paper aims to understand the contribution of plastic activity related to the gliding of dislocations on the pore annihilation. Simulations based on a phase-field model of dislocation are performed and make it possible to consider the strong anisotropy of the CMSX-4 under HIP conditions in conjunction to the strong elastic heterogeneity introduced by the pore. For pores with a radius of few micrometers, it is shown that edge parts of dislocation lines that present an extra half atomic plane oriented towards the pore are stacked above and under it in the direction which is perpendicular to their slip-planes, causing an increase of the number of dislocation along the four octahedral directions of the FCC single crystal which intersect the pore center. Results are streamlined within the isotropic elastic theory of dislocations. Effects of elastic anisotropy and dislocation reactions are also investigated in order to specify what would be the dislocation configuration around a pore in CMSX-4 under HIP conditions. Notably, the elastic anisotropy is shown to significantly modify the arrangement of dislocations close to the pore equator. Simulations also allow for the characterization of pore/dislocation interactions when dislocations are involved in Low Angle Boundaries as experimentally observed.},

This is done using the Colibri instrument based on a novel technique, referred to here as Picosecond Short-Range Elastic Backscatter Lidar (PSR-EBL). To address the complexity of retrieving lidar products at short measurement ranges, we apply a forward inversion method featuring radiometric lidar calibration. Our method is based on an extension of a well-established light-scattering model, the Rayleigh\textendashDebye\textendashGans for Fractal-Aggregates (RDG-FA) theory, which computes an analytical expression of lidar parameters. These parameters are the backscattering cross-sections and the lidar ratio for black carbon fractal aggregates. Using a small-scale Jet A-1 kerosene pool fire, we demonstrate the ability of the technique to quantify the aerosol number and mass concentration with centimetre range-resolution and millisecond time-resolution.},

A novel expression for the modulus of the coherence factor is proposed for the case of two-wavelength speckle decorrelation from imaging roughness and surface shape through an optical system. The expression permits us to estimate the speckle decorrelation phase noise in surface shape measurements. The theoretical analysis is supported by realistic simulations including both the surface roughness and shape. The results demonstrate the very good agreement between the modulus of the coherence factor estimated with the simulation and the one calculated with theory.},

abstract = {Microstructure evolutions in Ni-base superalloys are investigated during [110] creep loading using 3D and 2D phase field simulations. A recently developed phase field model coupled to a crystal plasticity model based on dislocation densities is employed. The model uses a storage-recovery law for the dislocation density of each glide system and a hardening matrix to account for the short-range interactions between dislocations. We show that small misorientations of the tensile axis strongly modify the evolution: rafting is observed for small deviations, as opposed to a microstructure made of rod-like precipitates when loading is performed along a perfectly aligned [110] direction. Depending on the precise direction of the mechanical load, different evolutions are obtained accompanied by strong modification of the macroscopic creep behavior, explaining the variety of results observed experimentally. The relative role of inhomogeneous and anisotropic elastic and plastic driving forces is also investigated, plasticity being the main driving force for rafting in the considered case. In addition, our calculations show that the initial dislocation density slightly modifies the precipitates morphology but the creep curve is significantly impacted.},

abstract = {We report an experimental study, supported by a theoretical approach based on simulations, to explore the phenomenon of H trapping in small Pd nanoparticles. Hydrogen absorption/desorption of a series of Pd nanoparticles with different average sizes (6.0, 2.0 and 1.4 nm) is only partially reversible, as proven by pressure-composition-isotherms at 25 °C. The irreversible H amount is trapped into strong interstitial sites. In situ EXAFS was employed to highlight the local structural changes and the H trapping inside the volume of Pd nanoparticles. We evidence a double size-dependent effect of H trapping inside Pd nanoparticles: the smaller the Pd particle size, the larger the amount of trapped H and the higher the binding energy experienced by H atoms. For example, 26% of the initial H capacity is trapped in Pd nanoparticles with 2.0 and 1.4 nm average sizes and a treatment under vacuum above 150 °C is needed to fully desorb the trapped H. To get atomic-scale insights into the location of the trapping sites, we perform both density functional theory and tight-binding calculations. These simulations show that the strong H trapping sites are the octahedral interstitials located at the subsurface of Pd nanoparticles where high relaxations are possible. This finding might clarify the controversial role of “subsurface or bulk” hydrogen in Pd-based nano-catalysts in several hydrogenation reactions.},

abstract = {Atomic layers of black phosphorus (BP) present unique opto-electronic properties dominated by a direct tunable bandgap in a wide spectral range from visible to mid-infrared (IR). In this work, we investigate the IR photoluminescence (PL) of BP single crystals at very low temperature. Near-band-edge recombinations are observed at 2 K, including dominant excitonic transitions at 0.276 eV and a weaker one at 0.278 eV. The free-exciton binding energy is calculated with an anisotropic Wannier\textendashMott model and found equal to 9.1 meV. On the contrary, the PL intensity quenching of the 0.276 eV peak at high temperature is found with a much smaller activation energy, attributed to the localization of free excitons on a shallow impurity. This analysis leads us to attribute respectively the 0.276 eV and 0.278 eV PL lines to bound excitons and free excitons in BP. As a result, the value of bulk BP bandgap is refined to 0.287 eV at 2 K.},

The experiment is performed at two wavelengths simultaneously, namely 355 and 532 nm, often used in polarimetric lidar remote sensing. The soot aggregates are generated from a kerosene JET A-1 pool fire in laboratory ambient air and microscopic images confirm the fractal morphology of generated soot aggregates. Then, the Superposition T-Matrix (STM) method is applied to numerically simulate the soot aggregates backscattering properties for different soot particles refractive indices, monomer radii and monomer numbers. The range of these parameters which ensures the lowest discrepancy between the laboratory measurement and the STM-computations is discussed within experimental and numerical error bars. We find that the polydisperse monomers model gives an overall better evaluation of the ratio F22(π)/F11(π). In the polydisperse case, our numerical and laboratory experimental findings agree at both wavelengths for a refractive index m = 2.65 + i1.32 and monomer number Nm > 40 at a mean monomer radius of rp = 30 nm (Nm > 160 at rp = 27.5 nm). We believe this work may be useful for the light scattering and remote sensing communities and may also help future studies aimed at better understanding the impact of soot particle aggregates on the Earth's climate, which still needs to be precisely quantified.},

abstract = {Peculiar and unique growth mechanisms involved in semiconductor nanowires (NWs) pave the way to the achievement of new crystallographic phases and remarkable material properties, and hence, studying polytypism in semiconductor NWs arouses a strong interest for the next generation of electronic and photonic applications. In this context, the growth of ZnS nanowires has been investigated, as bulk ZnS compound exhibits numerous unstable polytypes at high temperatures, but their stable occurrence is highly anticipated in a nanowire due to its special quasi-dimensional shape and growth modes. In this work, the idea is to provide a change in the growth mechanism via the physical state of catalyst droplet (liquid or solid) and hence, study the induced structural modifications in ZnS nanowires. The HRTEM images of VLS (via liquid alloyed catalyst) grown ZnS NWs show periodic stacking faults, which is precisely identified as a stacking sequence of cubic or hexagonal individual planes leading to an astonishing 15R crystal polymorph. This crystallographic phase is observed for the first time in nanowires. Contrastingly, NWs grown with VSS (via solid catalyst) show crystal polytypes of zinc blende and wurtzite. We calculate and discuss the role of cohesive energies in the formation of such ZnS polytypes. Further, we present the selection rules for the crystallization of such 15R structure in NWs and discuss the involved VLS and VSS growth mechanisms leading to the formation of different crystal phases.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]},

abstract = {Even though ultrasonication is considered to be an effective method to disperse carbon nanotubes (CNTs), its devastating effects on the nanotubes are often neglected. Here, even mild ultrasonication is found to rapidly extract the inner single-wall CNTs (SWCNTs) from the outer shells of the double-wall CNTs (DWCNTs). As-synthesized DWCNTs are gently solubilized in a surfactant solution, strictly avoiding any ultrasonication, followed by two consecutive density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU) steps to obtain a purified colloidal solution of isolated DWCNTs. The latter is carefully selected based on in situ resonant Raman (RRS) and fluorescence (PL) spectroscopy, measured as a function of depth directly in the ultracentrifuge tube after DGU. These purified DWCNTs are ultrasonicated in successive time steps while intermittently probing the sample via RRS and PL spectroscopy. These results unravel the very fast increasing, yet saturating extraction mechanism that leads to the formation of fluorescing SWCNTs. A statistical high-resolution transmission electron microscopy study confirms the drastic increase in SWCNTs after ultrasonication, and evidences that ultrasonication forms SWCNTs from both the inner and outer shells of the DWCNTs. This study demonstrates how easily ultrasonication extracts SWCNTs from individually solubilized DWCNTs, unavoidably complicating any further spectroscopic studies on DWCNTs severely.},

abstract = {The M4F project brings together the fusion and fission materials communities working on the prediction of radiation damage production and evolution and their effects on the mechanical behaviour of irradiated ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels. It is a multidisciplinary project in which several different experimental and computational materials science tools are integrated to understand and model the complex phenomena associated with the formation and evolution of irradiation induced defects and their effects on the macroscopic behaviour of the target materials. In particular the project focuses on two specific aspects: (1) To develop physical understanding and predictive models of the origin and consequences of localised deformation under irradiation in F/M steels; (2) To develop good practices and possibly advance towards the definition of protocols for the use of ion irradiation as a tool to evaluate radiation effects on materials. Nineteen modelling codes across different scales are being used and developed and an experimental validation programme based on the examination of materials irradiated with neutrons and ions is being carried out. The project enters now its 4th year and is close to delivering high-quality results. This paper overviews the work performed so far within the project, highlighting its impact for fission and fusion materials science.},

abstract = {sp2-hybridized boron nitride is identified as a strategic material for many purposes related to the integration of graphene and two-dimensional materials in devices and the fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures. Thus, it becomes mandatory to have scalable synthesis and characterization procedures for providing suitable and reliable boron nitride material according to these identified needs. We report here on the growth of sp2-hybridized boron nitride film on polycrystalline nickel substrate by chemical vapor deposition with borazine as precursor. We propose a complete study of the influence of the underlying nickel grain orientation on the BN structure layers, in terms of thickness, crystallographic orientation, domain size and stacking. We show the heteroepitaxial growth of continuous, single crystalline hexagonal boron nitride multilayer film on nickel (111)-like grains. We highlight its ABC stacking sequence with AB stacking faults and show how it impacts the Raman and cathodoluminescence spectra.},

abstract = {Metallic nanoparticles are highly reactive objects, often used for their catalytic properties which strongly depend on their shape and morphology. Here we show that controlling the wetting properties on a substrate enables one to control the nanoparticle\'{e}2uc0u128 u153 s shape, prevent their coalescence and maximize their surface reactivity. The highly ordered mesoporous carbon structures (CMK) are ideal to achieve such a control. CMK can be tuned during their synthesis and display convex and concave surfaces capable of modifying the wetting properties and the morphology of the nanoparticles incorporated. On a concave substrate, the nanoparticle tends to spread on the surface of the substrate resulting in a platelet particle shape, while on flat or convex ones, the nanoparticle shows a limited wetting behavior corresponding to a spherical shape. In addition, the carbon enrichment of the metallic nanoparticles in contact with CMK plays a key role in controlling their equilibrium morphology. This atomic scale study allows us to better understand the interaction between metal nanoparticles and CMK in order to master their morphology and improve their reactivity.},

abstract = {Solubility and diffusion of boron and oxygen in the 'ce'b3-TiAl intermetallic compound are herein investigated by first-principle calculations. On the basis of the space group of the 'ce'b3 phase, the accommodation of the light atoms in the various interstitial positions is studied by density functional theory. Diffusion coefficients are also obtained from ab initio calculations. Barrier energies for the boron and oxygen diffusion among the different stable interstitial sites are computed using the Nudged Elastic Band method and atomic jumping rates are obtained from the Transitional State Theory. Diffusion coefficients are obtained from the solution of the transport equation in the infinite time limit, using the analytical Multi-State Diffusion method. The methodology here applied is validated by the good agreement between the computed diffusion coefficient of boron and the experimental data available in the literature for this species.},

abstract = {Nickel-base superalloys display cuboidal precipitates aligned along the cubic directions, which are the elastic soft directions. At high precipitate volume fraction, the microstructure is often described as a regular array of precipitates organized on a simple cubic macro-lattice. In the present work, we use a stability analysis and 3D phase field simulations to show that such a regular array is in fact unstable whatever the volume fraction of precipitates. The two main instability modes are the longitudinal [100] mode and the transverse [110] mode along the [11¯0] eigenvector. We argue that these instabilities lead to formation of configurational defects closely related to experimentally observed branches and herringbone patterns. The r\^{o}les of elastic anisotropy and elastic homogeneity are also discussed.},
