The vastness of the space of possible multicomponent metal alloys is hoped to provide improved structural materials but also challenges traditional, low-throughput materials design efforts. Computational screening could narrow this search…
Phase field crystal methodology is applied, for the first time, to study the effect of alloy composition on the clustering behavior of a quenched/aged supersaturated ternary Al alloy system. An analysis of the work of formation is built…
Alloys with a first-order magnetic transition are central to solid-state refrigeration technology, sensors and actuators, or spintronic devices. The discontinuous nature of the transition in these materials is a consequence of the coupling…
In rare-earth permanent magnets (REPM's), trade-off's between intrinsic magnetic properties are often encountered. A recent example is SmFe$_{12}$ where excellent magnetic properties can be achieved at the sacrifice of bulk structure…
We investigate relative stability, structural properties and electronic structure of various modulated martensites of the magnetic shape memory alloy Mn$_{2}$NiGa by means of density functional theory. We observe that the instability in the…
Improving the high-temperature performance and low-temperature plasticity of tantalum (Ta) alloys is a significant scientific challenge. We employed first-principles calculations to study the interaction between screw dislocations and…
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers an unprecedented opportunity for the quick production of complex shaped parts directly from a powder precursor. But its application to functional materials in general and magnetic materials in particular…
Predicting the glass-forming ability (GFA) of chemical compositions remains a fundamental challenge in materials science, especially for oxide glasses with broad compositional diversity. Traditional empirical and thermodynamic approaches…

Dual-phase $\gamma$-TiAl and $\alpha_2$-Ti$_{3}$Al alloys exhibit high strength and creep resistance at high temperatures. However, they suffer from low tensile ductility and fracture toughness at room temperature. Experimental studies show…
Medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) such as CoCrFeNi and CoCrNi are promising structural materials owing to their outstanding mechanical and thermal properties, which arise from complex chemical disorder and atomic-scale interactions. Although…

When exploring new magnetic materials, the effect of alloying plays a crucial role for numerous properties. By altering the alloy composition, it is possible to tailor, e.g., the Curie temperature ($T_\text{C}$). In this work, $T_\text{C}$…
