We use first principles calculations to study the influence of thermomechanical loads on the energetics of precipitation in magnesium-aluminum alloys. Using Density Functional Theory simulations, we present expressions of the energy of…
We present a systematic benchmark of MACE potentials for iron-nickel alloys, focusing on structural, elastic, magnetic, and finite-temperature properties relevant to phase stability. The reference dataset comprises spin-polarized PBE…
Elucidating the polymorphism of transition metal dichalcogenide layers and the interplay between structure and properties is a key challenge for the application of these materials. We identify a novel low energy metastable phase of…
A phase-field model is developed to simulate the corrosion of Mg alloys in body fluids. The model incorporates both Mg dissolution and the transport of Mg ions in solution, naturally predicting the transition from activation-controlled to…
Applied magnetic fields can alter phase equilibria and kinetics in steels; however, quantitatively resolving how magnetic, chemical, and elastic driving forces jointly influence the microstructure remains challenging. We develop a…
In certain naturally aged aluminum alloys, significant strengthening can be obtained due to the decomposition of a super-saturated solid solution into clusters. The origins of such strengthening remain unclear due to the challenge of…
The evolution of the metallicity of damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) is investigated in order to understand the nature of these systems. The observational data on chemical abundances of DLAs are analysed with robust statistical methods,…
As structural and functional materials, topologically close-packed (TCP) phases of transition metal compounds offer a wide range of attractive properties. Due to their complex crystal structure and the resulting brittleness, the knowledge…
Magnesium alloys have become increasingly important for various potential industrial applications, especially in energy storage, due to their outstanding properties. However, a clear under-standing of the dissolution mechanism of magnesium…
Phase diagrams of isoelectronic Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_x$O and Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_{x}$S quasi-binary alloy systems are constructed using first-principles calculations combined with the standard cluster expansion approach and Monte-Carlo simulations. The…
The element of metastability is incorporated in the fluctuating nonlinear hydrodynamic description of the mode coupling theory (MCT) of the liquid-glass transition. This is achieved through the introduction of the defect density variable…
A C14 Nb0.975Fe2.025 Laves phase compound was investigated aimed at determining the H-T magnetic phase diagram. Magnetization, M, and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed. Concerning the former field-cooled and…
High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) contain near equimolar amounts of five or more elements and are a compelling space for materials design. Great emphasis is placed on identifying HEAs that form a homogeneous solid-solution, but the design of such…
We developed a machine learning interatomic potential (MLIP) for Ge-rich GeSbTe alloys of interest for applications in phase change memories embedded in microcontrollers. The MLIP was generated by fitting with a neural network method a…
The role of metastable liquid phases in vapor-crystal nucleation is studied using Density Functional Theory(DFT). The model gives a semi-quantitatively accurate description of both the vapor-liquid-solid phase diagram for both simple fluids…
Alloying offers a way to tune many of the properties of the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers. While these systems in many cases have been thoroughly investigated previously, the fundamental understanding of critical…
The phase behaviour of amphiphilic multiblock copolymers with a large number of blocks in semidilute solutions is studied by lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The influence on the resulting structures of the concentration, the solvent…
While 2D materials attract considerable interests for their exotic electronic and mechanical properties, their phase behaviour is still largely not understood. This work focuses on (Mo:Ti)S$_2$ binary alloys which have captured the interest…
We introduce a new phase-field formulation of rapid alloy solidification that quantitatively incorporates nonequilibrium effects at the solid-liquid interface over a very wide range of interface velocities. Simulations identify a new…
Magnesium (Mg) alloys have emerged as promising materials due to their low density and high strength-to-weight ratio, offering a wide range of applications across multiple industries. Nevertheless, the inherent brittleness of Mg alloys…
