Reminder - Defect Interactions at Grain Boundaries and Surfaces

Submit by March 31, 2026 View in Browser SUBMIT AN ARTICLE MANAGE MY ALERTS ABOUT THE JOURNAL Journal of Applied Physics Call for Papers Special Topic: Defect Interactions at Grain Boundaries and Surfaces Grain boundaries and free surfaces play a critical role in defect behavior, particularly at the micro- and nano-scale where interface effects are pronounced. This Special Topic highlights recent advances in understanding how dislocations and other defects interact with interfaces and surfaces to influence plasticity and damage evolution. We invite experimental, computational, and theoretical contributions that explore interface-driven defect dynamics under extreme conditions, such as confined volumes, high strain rates, and irradiation, across metals, ceramics, and nanostructured materials. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: • Grain boundaries in nanocrystalline materials • Dislocations in nanocrystalline materials • Dislocation plasticity in a confined volume • Solute segregation at interfaces • Twin-based plasticity • Twin-based mechanisms • Defect formation under extreme deformation • Dislocations in ceramics • Radiation induced defect structures Guest Editors Seok-Woo Lee, University of Connecticut Rebecca A.
