Zr precipitates in Al to form the phase Al3Zr. For a low supersaturation in Zr of the fcc solid solution, it has been observed that during the precipitation first steps the Al3Zr precipitates have the metastable L12 structure and that they…
The earlier-developed master equation approach and kinetic cluster methods are applied to study kinetics of L1_0 type orderings in alloys, including the formation of twinned structures characteristic of cubic-tetragonal-type phase…
The recently developed refractory multi-principle element alloy (MPEA), AlMo$_{0.5}$NbTa$_{0.5}$TiZr, shows an interesting microstructure with cuboidal precipitates of a disordered phase (${\beta}$, bcc) coherently embedded in an ordered…
Order-disorder transitions are widely explored in various vortex structures in condensed matter physics, i.e., in the type-II superconductors and Bose-Einstein condensates. In this study, we have investigated the ordering of the polar…
A model for precipitation of the plate-shaped second-phase under applied stress is presented. The precipitates in the matrix-precipitate system are represented by their local volume fraction and an orientation parameter that defines the…
The precipitation microstructure of the \gamma' (AlAg2) intermetallic phase has been examined in aluminium-silver-copper alloys. The microstructure developed in an Al-0.90at.%Ag-0.90at.%Cu alloy was significantly different from that…
The mechanisms of dislocation/precipitate interactions were analyzed in an Al-Cu alloy containing a homogeneous dispersion of $\theta'$ precipitates by means of discrete dislocation dynamics simulations. The simulations were carried out…
We present recent Monte Carlo results on surfaces of bcc-structured binary alloys which undergo an order-disorder phase transformation in the bulk. In particular, we discuss surface order and surface induced disorder at the bulk transition…
Garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is a solid electrolyte material with a low-conductivity tetragonal and a high-conductivity cubic phase. Using density-functional theory and variable cell shape molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the…
We study spacing selection in directional solidification of Al-Cu alloys under transient growth conditions. New experimental results are presented which reveal that dendritic spacing versus solidification rate evolves in an almost step-wise…
The effect of composition on microstructure both at the length scale of the secondary dendrite arm spacing and nano-sized dispersoids during homogenization of Al-Zn-Cu-Mg-Zr alloys has been studied. A comprehensive model that can predict…
Precipitation kinetics of Al3Zr and Al3Sc in aluminum supersaturated solid solutions is studied using cluster dynamics, a mesoscopic modeling technique which describes the various stages of homogeneous precipitation by a single set of rate…
A multidisciplinary approach is presented to analyse the precipitation process in a model Al-Cu alloy. Although this topic has been extensively studied in the past, most of the investigations are focussed either on transmission electron…
One usual way to strengthen a metal is to add alloying elements and to control the size and the density of the precipitates obtained. However, precipitation in multicomponent alloys can take complex pathways depending on the relative…
Cobalt-based alloys with {\gamma}/{\gamma}' microstructures have the potential to become the next generation of superalloys, but alloy compositions and processing steps must be optimized to improve coarsening, creep, and rafting behavior.…
Structural phase transitions in the organic inorganic metal halide perovskites are driven via rearrangement of methylammonium cation and distortion in the PbX6 octahedra. Compositional tuning is usually incorporated for suppression of the…
We investigate the irregular eutectic growth dynamics of the Al-Al3Ni alloy, in which one of the solid phases (Al3Ni) grows faceted from the liquid. Leveraging in situ optical microscopy and synchrotron transmission x-ray microscopy, we…
Isothermal ageing of plastically deformed Mg-Zn-Y alloys resulted in precipitation along {10-12} twin boundaries. The bulky precipitates formed had structures similar to those recently reported for the rod-like \beta' precipitates, but…
We study colloidal ordering and disordering on two-dimensional periodic substrates where the number of colloids per substrate minima is two or three. The colloids form dimer or trimer states with orientational ordering, referred to as…
Two different precipitate hardening aluminium alloys processed by friction stir welding were investigated. The microstructure and the hardness of the as delivered materials were compared to that of the weld nugget. Transmission electron…
