We propose structure models of the unique long-period stacking/order (LPSO) phases formed in the Mg-Zn-RE alloys, based on Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) observations and first-principles calculations. The LPSO…
In a recent paper, Zhang et al. [Acta Materialia 152 (2018) 96] studied the in-plane ordering of the long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) structure in Mg-Al-Y alloys. In addition to the well-known L12 type building cluster, they proposed…
The transitional state of ordering in the long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) structure in Mg-Al-Gd alloy has been investigated by scanning transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the domains are the origin of observed…
In order to clarify thermodynamic stability of Mg-based long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) structure, we systematically study energetic preference for alloys on multiple stacking with different composition for random mixing of constituent…
Isothermal ageing of plastically deformed Mg-Zn-Y alloys resulted in precipitation along {10-12} twin boundaries. The bulky precipitates formed had structures similar to those recently reported for the rod-like \beta' precipitates, but…
We investigate the formation of long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) structure for Mg-Y-Zn ternary alloys based on the short-range order (SRO) tendency of energetically competitive disordered phases. We find that unisotropic SRO tendencies…
Solute segregation plays an important role in formation of long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) structure in Mg-M-RE (M: Zn, Ni etc., RE: Y, Gd, etc.) alloy systems. In this work, the planar segregation in Mg-Al-Gd alloy is characterized by…
From systematic ab initio calculations of the alloy system Mg_{1-x}Al_{x}B_2, we find a strong tendency for the formation of a superstructure characterized by Al-rich layers. We also present a simple model, based on calculated energies and…
The chemical enrichment/ordering of solute atoms in Mg matrix are crucial to understand the formation mechanism of long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) structures. In this study, three-dimensional distribution of solute elements in an…
The origin of the phase stability of 18$R$ Mg-Zn-Y alloys with a long-period stacking order (LPSO) is studied using first-principles calculations. We calculate the heat of formation as a function of the number of Zn vacancies to discuss the…
The structural properties of the $Zn_xMg_{1-xS_ySe_{1-y}}$ solid solutions are determined by a combination of the computational alchemy and the cluster expansion methods with Monte Carlo simulations. We determine the phase diagram of the…
We report on the discovery of a high-entropy alloy with a hexagonal crystal structure. Equiatomic samples in the alloy system Ho-Dy-Y-Gd-Tb were found to solidify as homogeneous single-phase high-entropy alloys. The results of our electron…
For the paramagnetic insulating phase in the metal-ordered manganite YBaMn2O6, the so-called CE-type of charge/orbital ordered state was observed within the monoclinic ab-plane, which is most commonly observed for the ordinary half doped…
Configurational entropy can impact crystallization processes, tipping the scales between structures of nearly equal internal energy. Using alloyed single crystals of Gd2PdSi3 in the AlB2-type structure, we explore the formation of complex…
The exceptional properties observed in complex concentrated alloys (CCAs) arise from the interplay between crystalline order and chemical disorder at the atomic scale, complicating a unique determination of properties. In contrast to…
Precise structural information on the Mg1-xAlxB2 superconductors in the vicinity of x 0.5 is derived from high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction measurements. We find that a hexagonal superstructure, accompanied by doubling of…
We investigate thermodynamic behaviors of dilute Mg-Zn-Y ternary alloys to form a unique solute-enriched stacking-fault (SESF), which is an intrinsic-II type stacking-fault (I2-SF) enriched by the Zn and Y atoms and represents the…
We model the electronic properties of thin films of binary compounds with stacked layers where each layer is a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice with two atoms per unit cell. The two atoms per cell are assigned different onsite energies in…
The atomic structure of Guinier-Preston (G.P.) zone in an Mg-Zn-Gd alloy has been determined by combining atomic resolution high angle annular dark field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and first-principles…
Derivative structural polytypes coexisting with the rhombohedral A7 structure of elemental bismuth (Bi) have been discovered at ambient condition, based on microstructure analyses of pure Bi samples treated under high pressure and high…
