We use high-throughput first-principles sampling to investigate competitive factors that determine the crystal structure of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and the energetics dependence of the stable phase on the atomic configuration of fully…
The precipitate shape, size and distribution are crucial factors which determine the properties of several technologically important alloys. Elastic interactions between the inclusions modify their morphology and align them along…
Structural phase transitions often couple to magnetic and electronic degrees of freedom, enabling emergent phenomena in solids. In high-entropy oxides (HEOs), which typically stabilize in highly symmetric cubic phases, such transitions are…
The nature of the phase separation in KxFe2-ySe2 single crystals is not well understood. Here, temperature dependent SEM images provide compelling evidence that phase separation corresponds to a nucleation and growth process rather than a…
If a binary liquid mixture, composed of two alternative species with equal amounts, is quenched from a high temperature to a low temperature, below the critical point of demixing, then the mixture will phase separate through a process known…
Phase separation can drive spatial organization of multicomponent mixtures. For instance in developing animal embryos, effective phase separation descriptions have been used to account for the spatial organization of different tissue types.…
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as favorable choices for different applications, including superconductors. The present work examines the impact of nanostructuring via high-pressure torsion (HPT) on the superconducting properties of…
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are complex alloys containing multiple elements in high concentrations. Plasticity in HEAs is carried by dislocations, but the random nature of their composition pins dislocations, effectively hindering their…
A diffuse-interface model for microstructure with an arbitrary number of components and phases was developed from basic thermodynamic and kinetic principles and formalized within a variational framework. The model includes a composition…
The reason behind the remarkable properties of High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs) is rooted in the diverse phases and the crystal structures they contain. In the realm of material informatics, employing machine learning (ML) techniques to classify…
The growth and microstructural properties of ternary monolayers of two-dimensional hexagonal materials are examined, including both individual two-dimensional crystalline grains and in-plane heterostructures, multijunctions, or…
Precipitation-strengthened alloys, such as Ni-base, Co-base and Fe-base superalloys, show the development of dendrite-like precipitates in the solid state during aging at near-$\gamma^{\prime}$ solvus temperatures. These features arise out…
High-entropy alloys (HEAs), as multi-component materials with high configurational entropy, have garnered significant attention as new biomaterials; still, their low yield stress and high elastic modulus need to be overcome for future…
This chapter presents a literature review of the serrated flow phenomenon in high-entropy alloys (HEAs). The serrated flow is important as it can result in permanent macroscopic and microstructural changes in HEAs. The literature reveals…
Binary mixtures are known to phase separate via both nucleation and spinodal decomposition, depending on the initial composition and extent of the quench. Here we develop an energy landscape view of phase separation and non-ideality in…
High-entropy oxides (HEOs) offer a unique platform for exploring the thermodynamic interaction between configurational entropy and enthalpy in stabilizing complex solid solutions. In this study, a series of rock-salt structured oxides with…
Metastable phases may be spontaneously formed from other metastable phases through nucleation. Here we demonstrate the spontaneous formation of a metastable phase from an unstable equilibrium by spinodal decomposition, which leads to a…
Solidification is an important process in many alloy processing routes. The solidified microstructure of alloys is usually made up of dendrites, eutectics or a combination of both. The evolving morphologies are largely determined by the…
The evolution of the microstructure due to spinodal decomposition in phase separated mixtures has a strong impact on the final material properties. In the late stage of coarsening, the system is characterized by the growth of a single…
Solutions of hydrodynamical equations are presented for an equation of state allowing for a first-order phase transition. The numerical analysis is supplemented by analytical treatment provided the system is close to the critical point. The…
