  2. Dislocation creep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dislocation_creep

    Each time a dislocation moves through a crystal, part of the crystal shifts by one lattice point along a plane, relative to the rest of the crystal. The plane that separates the shifted and unshifted regions along which the movement takes place is the slip plane. To allow for this movement, all ionic bonds along the plane must be broken. If all ...

  3. Sigmatropic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmatropic_reaction

    A [1,5] shift involves the shift of 1 substituent (hydride, alkyl, or aryl) down 5 atoms of a π system. Hydrogen has been shown to shift in both cyclic and open-chain compounds at temperatures at or above 200 ˚C. [4] These reactions are predicted to proceed suprafacially, via a Hückel-topology transition state. [1,5] hydride shift in a ...

  4. Dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dislocation

    The movement of mobile dislocations allow atoms to slide over each other at low stress levels and is known as glide or slip. The movement of dislocations may be enhanced or hindered by the presence of other elements within the crystal and over time, these elements may diffuse to the dislocation forming a Cottrell atmosphere. The pinning and ...

  5. Arrow pushing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_pushing

    Arrow pushing or electron pushing is a technique used to describe the progression of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. [1] It was first developed by Sir Robert Robinson.In using arrow pushing, "curved arrows" or "curly arrows" are drawn on the structural formulae of reactants in a chemical equation to show the reaction mechanism.

  6. Kirkendall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkendall_effect

    The Kirkendall effect is the motion of the interface between two metals that occurs due to the difference in diffusion rates of the metal atoms. The effect can be observed, for example, by placing insoluble markers at the interface between a pure metal and an alloy containing that metal, and heating to a temperature where atomic diffusion is reasonable for the given timescale; the boundary ...

  7. Transition state theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_state_theory

    By modeling reactions as Langevin motion along a one dimensional reaction coordinate, Hendrik Kramers was able to derive a relationship between the shape of the potential energy surface along the reaction coordinate and the transition rates of the system. The formulation relies on approximating the potential energy landscape as a series of ...

  8. Diffusionless transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusionless_transformation

    This transformation occurs due to a displacive process, where interstitial carbon atoms lack the time to diffuse out. [5] Consequently, the unit cell undergoes a slight elongation in one dimension and contraction in the other two. Despite differences in the symmetry of the crystal structures, the chemical bonding between them remains similar.

  9. Surface diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_diffusion

    Diffusion of adatoms may occur by a variety of mechanisms. The manner in which they diffuse is important as it may dictate the kinetics of movement, temperature dependence, and overall mobility of surface species, among other parameters. The following is a summary of the most important of these processes: [12]
