In this study, a variety of electron polarons, namely free, bound, and bipolarons, are analyzed using first-principles calculations. We perform a full structural optimization based on density-functional theory for selected intrinsic defects with special attention to the role of symmetry-breaking distortions that lower the total energy. The cations hosting the various polarons relax to a different degree, with a larger relaxation corresponding to a larger gap between the defect level and the conduction-band edge. The projected density of states reveals that the polaron states are formerly empty Nb 4d states lowered into the band gap. Optical absorption spectra are derived within the independent-particle approximation, corrected by the GW approximation that yields a wider band gap and by including excitonic effects within the Bethe-Salpeter equation. Comparing the calculated spectra with the density of states, we find that the defect peak observed in the optical absorption stems from transitions between the defect level and a continuum of empty Nb 4d states. Signatures of polarons are further analyzed in the reflectivity and other experimentally measurable optical coefficients.}}, author = {{Schmidt, Falko and Kozub, Agnieszka L. and Gerstmann, Uwe and Schmidt, Wolf Gero and Schindlmayr, Arno}}, issn = {{2073-4352}}, journal = {{Crystals}}, pages = {{542}}, publisher = {{MDPI}}, title = {{{Electron polarons in lithium niobate: Charge localization, lattice deformation, and optical response}}}, doi = {{10.3390/cryst11050542}}, volume = {{11}}, year = {{2021}}, } @inproceedings{34222, abstract = {{Driven by the CO2-emission law by the European government and the increasing costs for raw materials as well as energy, the automotive industry is increasingly using multi-material constructions.

With the aim of providing a method that enables a faster and more profound decision-making in the spatial distribution of joining points during product development, a new method for the load path analysis of joining points is presented. For an exemplary car body, the load type in the joining elements, i.e. pure tensile, shear and combined tensile-shear loads, is determined using finite element analysis (FEA). Based on the evaluated loads, the resulting load paths in selected joining points are analyzed using a 2D FE-model of a clinching point. State of the art methods for load path analysis are dependent on the selected coordinate system or the existing stress state. Thus, a general statement about the load transmission path is not possible at this time. Here, a novel method for the analysis of load paths is used, which is independent of the alignment of the analyzed geometry. The basic assumption of the new load path analysis method was confirmed by using a simple specimen with a square hole in different orientations. The results presented here show a possibility to display the load transmission path invariantly. In further steps, the method will be extended for 3D analysis and the investigation of more complex assemblies. The primary goal of this methodical approach is an even load distribution over the joining elements and the component. This will provide a basis for future design approaches aimed at reducing the number of joining elements in joined structures.}}, author = {{Steinfelder, Christian and Martin, Sven and Brosius, Alexander and Tröster, Thomas}}, issn = {{1662-9795}}, journal = {{Key Engineering Materials}}, pages = {{73--80}}, title = {{{Load Path Transmission in Joining Elements}}}, doi = {{10.4028/www.scientific.net/kem.883.73}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{24548, author = {{Martin, Sven and Tröster, Thomas}}, journal = {{ESAFORM 2021}}, title = {{{Joint point loadings in car bodies – the influence of manufacturing tolerances and scatter in material properties}}}, doi = {{10.25518/esaform21.3801}}, year = {{2021}}, } @inproceedings{30297, author = {{Rozo Vasquez, Julian and Arian, Bahman and Riepold, Markus and Walther, Frank and Homberg, Werner and Trächtler, Ansgar}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 11th International Work­shop NDT in Progress}}, location = {{Prague}}, title = {{{Magnetic Barkhausen noise analysis for microstructural effects separation during flow forming of metastable austenite 304L.}}}, year = {{2021}}, } @inproceedings{23465, abstract = {{One of the main objectives of production engineering is to reproducibly manufacture (complex) defect-free parts.

Closed-loop process control represents a promising approach for a solution in this context. The state of the art involves using this approach to control geometric parameters such as a length. So far, no research or applications have been conducted with closed-loop control for microstructure and product properties. In the project on which this paper is based, the local martensite content of parts is to be adjusted in a highly precise and reproducible manner. The forming process employed is a special, property-controlled flow-forming process. A model-based controller is thus to generate corresponding correction values for the tool-path geometry and tool-path velocity on the basis of online martensite content measurements. For the controller model, it is planned to use a special process or microstructure (correlation) model.
