The success of grain boundary (GB) plane orientation fundamental zone (FZ) has connected GB structures across multiple crystallographic characters with their properties in a unique insight, but quantitative understandings of the…

The preference for the occupation of solute atoms like B, C, N, and O at various sites in iron is generally explained by the size of the solute and the volume available for the solute atoms to occupy. Such an explanation based on the size…

The light elemental solutes B, C, N, and O can penetrate the surface of Mg alloys and diffuse during heat treatment or high temperature application, forming undesirable compounds. We investigate the diffusion of these solutes by determining…

To enhance our understanding of oxidation in high-entropy alloys, the early stages of oxidation on the surface of Al10Nb15Ta5Ti30Zr40 were studied using density functional theory and thermodynamic modeling. Surface slabs were generated from…

Amorphous complexions have recently been demonstrated to simultaneously enhance the ductility and stability of certain nanocrystalline alloys. In this study, three quinary alloys (Cu-Zr-Hf-Mo-Nb, Cu-Zr-Hf-Nb-Ti, and Cu-Zr-Hf-Mo-W) are…

The microsegregation and dendritic growth mode of Al-5wt%Cu alloy was investigated. In the early solidification stage, the crystal growth mode of interrupted growth and periodic boundary trapping will happen, which results in the…

Previous research focused on two different mechanisms of microstructure stabilization in alloys: thermodynamic stabilization by reducing the grain boundary (GB) free energy and kinetic stabilization by suppressing the GB mobility by solute…

Zn induced liquid metal embrittlement (LME) is a major concern in particular for advanced high strength steels, which often contain a significant amount of austenite compared to established steel grades. Using density functional theory…

The co-segregation of impurities in multicomponent alloys has been widely recognized as an effective strategy for tailoring material properties. However, quantitative predictions of co-segregation behavior remain a significant challenge for…

Radiation-induced segregation (RIS) poses a significant challenge for ferritic Fe-Cr alloys under irradiation, as it can compromise mechanical integrity and increase susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. Yet, the mechanisms governing…

The surface segregation of indium atoms in InGaAs is investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. Through the calculation of segregation energies for (100), (110), and (111) surfaces of GaAs we…

We investigate thermodynamic behaviors of dilute Mg-Zn-Y ternary alloys to form a unique solute-enriched stacking-fault (SESF), which is an intrinsic-II type stacking-fault (I2-SF) enriched by the Zn and Y atoms and represents the…

Grain boundary self-diffusion of $^{57}$Co, $^{51}$Cr, $^{59}$Fe and $^{54}$Mn in a coarse-grained, single-phase fcc CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy is measured in a wide temperature range of 643 to 1273~K in both C- and B-type kinetic…

We consider the stability of precipitates formed at grain boundaries (GBs) by radiation-induced segregation in dilute alloys subjected to irradiation. The effects of grain size and misorientation of symmetric-tilt GBs are quantified using…

We report a first-principles density functional theory study on the role of grain boundary and dislocation loop in H blistering in W. At low temperature, the {\Sugma}3(111) tilt grain boundary, when combined with a vacancy of vanishing…

The segregation and ordering behavior of light interstitials (B, C, and N) in Cr30-Ni is examined, as these elements are critical for grain boundary stability and high-temperature mechanical performance in Ni-based superalloys. Using Monte…

The adsorption and dissociation of H$_2$, O$_2$, and H$_2$O on Ni-Fe alloys with variable Fe:Ni ratio are studied by means of Density Functional Theory calculations. The alloy composition deeply influences the thermochemistry of the…

Elastic properties of Ti based \beta-alloy were studied by the method of the model structure first principle calculations. Concentrational dependence of Young modulus for the binary \beta-alloy Ti-Nb was discovered. It is shown that…

Correlated analysis of (sub)grains and particles in alloys is important to understand transformation processes and control material properties. A multimodal data fusion workflow directly combining subgrain data from electron backscatter…

The segregation behavior of the bimetallic alloys PtPd and CoCr in the case of bare surfaces and in the presence of an oxygen ad-layer has been studied by means of first-principles modeling based on density-functional theory (DFT). For both…
