1. Multiscale Modeling of Interfaces
Abstract : Understanding strength and stability of interfaces between dissimilar materials or phases is a highly active field of contemporary materials research. Knowledge of interface structure and energetics is important for modeling of complex materials both on a mechanical and thermodynamical level as well as for many functional properties. READ MORE

2. A computational study of interface structures and energetics in cemented carbides and steels
Abstract : Cemented carbides are hard composite materials of great industrial importance. Because of their combination of hardness and toughness, they are used e.~g. for cutting, drilling, turning and milling. READ MORE

3. Theoretical studies of boron and transition-metal carbonitride additions in steels
Abstract : Martensitic 9-12%Cr steel alloys are today widely used as critical components in fossil-fired steam power plants with steam temperatures up to 600°C, where sound oxidation resistance and excellent creep strength are required. Their strength and long-term creep resistance are closely connected to the presence and stability of Cr-rich M23C6 (M = Cr, Fe) carbides and densely distributed MX precipitates (M = transition metal, X = C or N), which effectively act as obstacles for dislocation migration.

4. Toward first-principles understanding of carbonitride precipitation in steels
Abstract : The most important and widely used group of metallic alloys is steels, whichare alloys of the element iron together with carbon and usually other elementssuch as B, N, V, Nb and Cr. The strength in these alloys is closely connectedto the distribution of point defects, precipitates and grain boundaries whicheffectively act as obstacles for dislocation migration. READ MORE

5. First-principles investigations of planar defects
Abstract : Two types of planar defects, phase interface and stacking fault, are addressed in this thesis. The investigation is mainly carried out for stainless steels which are fundamental materials in modern society. For the phase interface, we investigate the metallic bcc/bcc and fcc/bcc phase interfaces. READ MORE
