Multiscale coupling of a quantum mechanical (QM) domain to a coarser-scale material description in a larger surrounding domain should yield forces and energies in the QM domain that are the same as would be achieved in a QM simulation of the entire sy . . .

Atomistic simulations of the interactions between dislocations, hydrogen atoms, and vacancies are studied to assess the viability of a recently proposed mechanism for the formation of nanoscale voids in Fe-based steels in the presence of hydrogen. Qua . . .
