This work presents a simple model for describing the interstitials behavior in solid solutions enlarging the current random interstitial atoms paradigm. A general and parameter-free analytical expression to compute the configurational…
Refractory complex concentrated alloys, composed of multiple principal refractory elements, are promising candidates for high-temperature structural applications due to their exceptional thermal stability and high melting points. However,…
Plasticity in body centered cubic (bcc) refractory metals are largely due to the stress tensor induced either by solute or thermal activation. The mechanism of the solute atom(s) residence causes instability in such metals. Earlier research…
The bonding properties of tilt boundary in poly-silicon and the effect of interstitial impurities are investigated by first-principles. In order to obtain thorough information on the nature of chemical bondings in these solid systems, an…
This study employed hybrid Monte Carlo Molecular Dynamics simulations to investigate the short-range ordering behavior of Ni-based superalloys doped with boron or carbon. The simulations revealed that both boron and carbon dissociated from…
Understanding interstitial segregation in chemically complex alloys requires accounting for chemical and structural heterogeneity of interfaces, motivating approaches that move beyond scalar descriptors to capture the full spatial and…
Even if the atoms of a multicomponent alloy occupy a common lattice, their distribution is not homogeneous, and regions with different compositions can be detected. Three representative examples will be discussed: a Cantor-type system…
Tracer diffusion of the substitutional components in (CoCrFeNiMn)$_{1-x}$C$_x$ high-entropy alloys with x = 0.002, 0.005 and 0.008 (in at. fractions) is measured at elevated temperatures from 1173 to 1373 K. Two different characteristic…
Local perturbations of crystal and magnetic structure of $\gamma$-iron near carbon interstitial impurity is investigated by {\it ab initio} electronic structure calculations. It is shown that the carbon impurity creates locally a region of…
This study delves into bcc HfNbTaTiZr refractory high entropy alloys, focusing on the $\frac{1}{2}\langle111\rangle$ screw dislocation core structures. While traditional observations in pure elements often revealed compact dislocation…
Using the density functional theory, we perform a full atomic relaxation of the bulk ferrite with 12.5%-concentration of monoatomic interstitial Cr periodically located at the edges of the bcc Fe$_\alpha$ cell. We show that structural…
The chemical disorder intrinsic to high entropy alloys inevitably creates diffuse scattering in their x-ray or neutron diffraction patterns. Through first principles hybrid Monte Carlo/molecular dynamics simulations of two BCC high entropy…
Point defect species and concentrations in metastable Fe-C alloys are determined using density functional theory and a constrained free-energy functional. Carbon interstitials dominate unless iron vacancies are in significant excess,…
We present a comprehensive first-principles investigation of carbon self-interstitial defects in diamond, ranging from mono- to hexa-interstitial complexes. By quantum mechanical density functional theory, empowered by interatomic potential…
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) composed of multiple principal elements have been shown to offer improved radiation resistance over their elemental or dilute-solution counterparts. Using NiCoFeCrMn HEA as a model, here we introduce carbon and…
This paper presents an experimental and theoretical study of the distribution of carbon atoms in the octahedral interstitial sites of the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase of the iron-carbon system. The experimental part of the work consists…
The characteristics of intrinsic defects are important for the understanding of self-diffusion processes, mechanical strength, brittleness, and plasticity of tungsten carbide, which present in the divertor of fusion reactors. Here, we use…
The subcarbides B12C3 and B13C2 known for their abrasive properties, can be structurally considered as carbon inserted rhombohedral alpha-B12 and expressed as B12{C-C-C} and B12(C-B-C). Using density functional theory DFT computations, the…
With first-principles theoretical analysis of the local structure using Bond Orientational Order parameters and Voronoi partitioning, we establish (a) HCP$\rightarrow$BCC structural transformation in high-entropy alloys (HEAs)…
We perform particle resolved experimental studies on the heterogeneous crystallisation process of two compo- nent mixtures of hard spheres. The components have a size ratio of 0.39. We compared these with molecular dynamics simulations of…
