• Chemical heterogeneity enhances hydrogen resistance in high-strength steels 

      Sun, Binhan; Lu, Wenjun; Gault, Baptiste; Ding, Ran; Makineni, Surendra Kumar; Wan, Di; Wu, Chun-Hung; Chen, Hao; Ponge, Dirk; Raabe, Dierk (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The antagonism between strength and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement in metallic materials is an intrinsic obstacle to the design of lightweight yet reliable structural components operated in hydrogen-containing ...
    • The effect of γ matrix channel width on the compositional evolution in a multi-component nickel-based superalloy 

      Saksena, Aparna; Kubacka, Dorota; Gault, Baptiste; Spiecker, Erdmann; Kontis, Paraskevas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      High-temperature diffusion affects the long-term stability of superalloys and hence their service life. Yet, details of the mechanisms remain elusive. Here, the γ-γʹ microstructure itself is used as a nanoscale diffusion ...
    • Introducing field evaporation energy loss spectroscopy 

      Rousseau, Loïc; Normand, Antoine; Morgado, Felipe F.; Søreide, Hanne-Sofie Marie Scisly; Stephenson, Leigh T.; Hatzoglou, Constantinos; Da Costa, Gérald; Tehrani, Kambiz; Freysoldt, Christoph; Gault, Baptiste; Vurpillot, François (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Retrieving information on the chemical and bonding states of atoms in a material in three-dimensions is challenging even for the most advanced imaging techniques. Here, we demonstrate that this information is accessible ...
