This paper presents the first thermodynamic assessment of binary and pseudo-binary phase diagrams in the Ba--La--S and Ga--La--S systems by means of the CALPHAD method. Experimental phase diagram equilibrium data and thermodynamic…
We have studied thermodynamics of the Mg-B system with the modeling technique CALPHAD using a computerized optimization procedure. Temperature-composition, pressure-composition, and pressure-temperature phase diagrams under different…
Using first-principles evolutionary simulations, we have systematically investigated phase stability in the Hf-O system at pressure up to 120 GPa. New compounds Hf5O2, Hf3O2, HfO and HfO3 are discovered to be thermodynamically stable at…
Despite the increasing importance of hafnium in numerous technological applications, experimental and computational data on its binary alloys is sparse. In particular, data is scant on those binary systems believed to be phase separating.…
The temperature-dependent composition and phase formation during physical vapor deposition (PVD) of Mg-Ca thin films is modelled using a CALPHAD-based approach. Considering the Mg and Ca sublimation fluxes calculated based on the vapor…
Phase diagram of Np-U-Zr, a key ternary alloy system of relevance for metallic nuclear fuels, is still largely undetermined. Here a thermodynamic model for the Np-U-Zr system is developed based on Muggianu extrapolation of our models for…
Thermodynamic descriptions of all binaries within the Cr-Fe-Mo-Nb-Ni system have been complied and, where necessary, remodeled. Notably, the Cr-Fe and Fe-Mo systems have been remodeled using comprehensive sublattice models for the…
Calculation of phase diagrams is one of the fundamental tools in alloy design---more specifically under the framework of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering. Uncertainty quantification of phase diagrams is the first step required…
In this work, we report the results of \emph{ab initio} calculations of thermochemical properties of several compounds in the Fe-Nd, B-Nd and B-Fe-Nd systems. We have performed DFT+U calculations to compute the enthalpy of formation of the…
FeTi-based hydrides have recently re-attracted attention as stationary hydrogen storage materials due to favorable reversibility, good sorption kinetics and relatively low costs compared to alternative intermetallic hydrides. Employing the…
In this study, an efficient first-principles approach for calculating the thermodynamic properties of mixed metal oxides at high temperatures is demonstrated. More precisely, this procedure combines density functional theory and harmonic…
Computational searches for new materials are naturally turning from binary systems, to ternary and other multicomponent systems, and beyond. Here, we select the industrially-relevant metals titanium and aluminium and report the results of…
Phase stabilities of Hf-Si-O and Zr-Si-O have been studied with first-principles and thermodynamic modeling. From the obtained thermodynamic descriptions, phase diagrams pertinent to thin film processing were calculated. We found that the…
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is a promising route towards high-efficiency, metal-free organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the characterization of TADF kinetics in solid-state thin films is often complicated by…
We have developed and implemented a self-consistent density functional method using standard norm-conserving pseudopotentials and a flexible, numerical LCAO basis set, which includes multiple-zeta and polarization orbitals. Exchange and…
The thermodynamic mixing properties of alkali feldspar solid solutions between the Na and K end members were computed through atomistic simulations using a neural network potential. We performed combined molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo…
High-entropy oxide (HEO) thermodynamics transcend temperature-centric approaches, spanning a multidimensional landscape where oxygen chemical potential plays a decisive role. Here, we experimentally demonstrate how controlling the oxygen…
We consider and compare four Hamiltonian formulations of thermostated mechanics, three of them kinetic, and the other one configurational. Though all four approaches ``work'' at equilibrium, their application to many-body nonequilibrium…
The thermodynamic description of the (LiF, NaF, KF, CrF2)-CrF3 systems has been revisited, aiming for a better understanding of the effects of Cr on the FLiNaK molten salt. First-principles calculations based on density functional theory…
The quest towards expansion of the MAX design space has been accelerated with the recent discovery of several solid solution and ordered phases involving at least two MAX end members. Going beyond the nominal MAX compounds enables not only…
