The current work studies the effect of sintering conditions on the densification behavior, microstructure, and electrochemical performance of 6 mol% Sc2O3, 1 mol% CeO2 co-doped ZrO2 (6Sc1CeZr) for solid-state electrolyte applications. The…
We construct a phase field model including hydrodynamics and elasticity in one-component systems. It can be used to investigate solid-liquid and liquid-liquid phase transitions. Upon first-order phase transition, a velocity field is induced…
Gallium (Ga) displays several metastable phases. Superconductivity is strongly enhanced in the metastable $\mathrm{\beta}$-Ga with a critical temperature $T_\mathrm{c}= 6.04(5)\,\mathrm{K}$, while stable $\mathrm{\alpha}$-Ga has a much…
A continuum model for calculating the time-dependent hydrogen pickup fractions in various Zirconium alloys under steam and pressured water oxidation has been developed in this study. Using only one fitting parameter, the effective hydrogen…
A model for precipitation of the plate-shaped second-phase under applied stress is presented. The precipitates in the matrix-precipitate system are represented by their local volume fraction and an orientation parameter that defines the…
The electrocaloric effect (ECE) of BaZr$_{x}$Ti$_{1-x}$O$_3$ (BZT) is closely related to the relaxor state transition of the materials. This work presents a systematic study on the ECE and the state transition of the BZT, using a combined…
The thermodynamics of H/{\alpha}-Zr solid solution and zirconium hydride phases were studied using density functional theory. Disorder in {\zeta}, {\gamma} and {\delta} hydrides and solid solutions were modelled using a statistically…
The electrochemical reactions of solid oxide fuel cells occur in the region where gas-phase species, electrode, and electrolyte coincide. When the electrode is an ionic insulator and the electrolyte is an electronic insulator, this `triple…
Deuteride phases in the zirconium-deuterium system in the temperature range 25-286$\celsius$ have been studied in-situ by high resolution neutron diffraction. The study primarily focused on observations of $\delta \rightarrow \gamma$…
Predicting solid-solid phase transitions remains a long-standing challenge in materials science. Solid-solid transformations underpin a wide range of functional properties critical to energy conversion, information storage, and thermal…
The stability of a $\beta$-sheeted conformation and its transition into a random coil are studied with a 2D lattice biopolymer model. At low temperature and low external force, the polymer folds back and forth on itself and forms a…
The ground state structures of the A$_x$B$_{1-x}$C wurtzite (WZ) alloys with $x=$0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 are revealed by a ground state search using the valence-force field model and density-functional theory total energy calculations. It is…
Understanding alloy phase transformations during continuous cooling is important for post-processing design and optimization. In this work, continuous-cooling-transformation (CCT) diagrams of Inconel 718 alloys manufactured by laser powder…
We use Shear Transformation Zone (STZ) theory to develop a deformation map for amorphous solids as a function of the imposed shear rate and initial material preparation. The STZ formulation incorporates recent simulation results [Haxton and…
A one-dimensional and stationary reactor model is presented to describe the catalytic conversion of a gaseous hydrocarbon fuel with air and steam to synthesis gas by autothermal reforming (ATR) and catalytic partial oxidation (CPO). The…
Achieving high temperature ferromagnetism by doping transition metals thin films is seen as a viable approach to integrate spin-based elements in innovative spintronic devices. In this work we investigated the effect of Fe doping on…
In this paper we describe a new model for solidification with heat flux using the phase field crystal (PFC) framework. The equations are thermodynamically consistent, in the sense that the time rate of change of the entropy density is…
In this report, the evolution of the local atomic structure of the Zr50Nb50 melt was investigated by applying temperature (2600 to 300 K) and pressure (0 to 50 Gpa) using classical molecular dynamics simulations. To gain clear insight into…
This study addresses microstructure selection mechanisms in rapid solidification, specifically targeting the transition from cellular/dendritic to planar interface morphologies under conditions relevant to additive manufacturing. We use a…
We present quantum molecular dynamics calculations of thermophysical properties of solid and liquid zirconium in the vicinity of melting. An overview of available experimental data is also presented. We focus on the analysis of thermal…
