Rare earth oxide-phosphates (REOPs) form a largely unexplored family of refractory lanthanides and yttrium compounds with general formula RExOy(PO4)z. They are of interest for applications ranging from thermal barrier coatings to catalysts…

Electronic structure calculations are carried out to estimate the heats of formation of rare-earth orthophosphates from their oxides. The calculated heats of formation are systematically about 40 kJ/mol less exothermic than the measured…

Rare-earth oxides (REOs) are an important class of materials owing to their unique properties, including high ionic conductivities, large dielectric constants, and elevated melting temperatures, making them relevant to several technological…

Fast prediction of the synthesizability conditions of materials remains challenging, even assuming synthesis under thermodynamic equilibrium. Approaches solely based on convex stability hulls neglect finite-temperature effects, while…

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…
