Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Metallurgy
  • Composite material
  • Alloy

His primary areas of study are Metallurgy, Alloy, Amorphous metal, Grain boundary and Slip. His Metallurgy research includes themes of Composite material and Dislocation. The Dislocation study combines topics in areas such as Ultimate tensile strength, Grain size and Nanocrystalline material.

His work in the fields of Atom probe overlaps with other areas such as Atomic physics. His study in Amorphous metal is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrogen embrittlement and Zirconium. His work in Grain boundary covers topics such as Plasticity which are related to areas like Transmission electron microscopy and Electron microscope.

His most cited work include:

  • Effect of boron on grain-boundaries in Ni3Al† (860 citations)
  • Deformation of electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel (616 citations)
  • Enhanced ductility in strongly textured magnesium produced by equal channel angular processing (475 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

J.A. Horton mostly deals with Metallurgy, Alloy, Composite material, Microstructure and Intermetallic. Many of his studies on Metallurgy apply to Dislocation as well. His Alloy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Embrittlement, Crystal structure, Nickel and Corrosion.

His research in Composite material intersects with topics in Ferromagnetism and Magnet. His study looks at the relationship between Microstructure and fields such as Differential scanning calorimetry, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His work in Grain boundary addresses issues such as Aluminium, which are connected to fields such as Tensile testing and Intergranular corrosion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Metallurgy (60.33%)
  • Alloy (34.71%)
  • Composite material (26.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2016)?

  • Metallurgy (60.33%)
  • Composite material (26.45%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

J.A. Horton focuses on Metallurgy, Composite material, Alloy, Dislocation and Amorphous metal. His Neutron diffraction research extends to Metallurgy, which is thematically connected. His work carried out in the field of Composite material brings together such families of science as Ferromagnetism and Atmospheric temperature range.

The concepts of his Alloy study are interwoven with issues in Cobalt, Curie temperature, Electrical resistance and conductance and Current. His Dislocation research also works with subjects such as

  • Microbeam together with X-ray crystallography, Dissolution, Molecular physics and Transmission electron microscopy,
  • Slip that connect with fields like Deformation and Structural material,
  • Deformation mechanism that intertwine with fields like Crystal twinning, Grain size and Nanocrystalline material. His Amorphous metal study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Zirconium alloy, Zirconium and Corrosion.

Between 2003 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Enhanced ductility in strongly textured magnesium produced by equal channel angular processing (475 citations)
  • Ultrahigh strength and high ductility of bulk nanocrystalline copper (296 citations)
  • The electrochemical evaluation of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass in a phosphate-buffered saline electrolyte. (88 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Metallurgy
  • Alloy
  • Composite material

His primary scientific interests are in Metallurgy, Alloy, Amorphous metal, Corrosion and Zirconium alloy. His Metallurgy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Composite material and Dislocation. His Alloy research integrates issues from Sheet metal, Ductility, Formability and Bending.

His research investigates the connection between Amorphous metal and topics such as Zirconium that intersect with issues in Fractography. His study explores the link between Corrosion and topics such as Analytical chemistry that cross with problems in Scanning electron microscope and Microstructure. J.A. Horton has included themes like Work hardening, Tensile testing, Copper, Grain size and Nanocrystalline material in his Deformation mechanism study.
