Transferable machine-learning models of complex materials: the case of GaAs

Giulio Imbalzano

Molecular simulations allow to investigate the behaviour of materials at the atomistic level, shedding light on phenomena that cannot be directly observed in experiments. Accurate results can be obtained with ab initio methods, while simulations of large-s ...

Coupled segregation mechanisms of Sc, Zr and Mn at theta ' interfaces enhances the strength and thermal stability of Al-Cu alloys

Baptiste Thomas Jean Rouxel

The refinement and thermal stability of intermediate theta-prime (theta') precipitates are critical in the development of new high strength 2xxx series aluminium-copper (Al-Cu) alloys for high temperature applications. In this work, we use trace additions ...

Influence of Minor Cr Additions on Crystal Growth in Rapidly Solidified Al-20Zn Alloys

Michel Rappaz

It has been discovered quite recently that Icosahedral Short-Range Order (ISRO) of atoms in the liquid phase of metallic alloys surrounding some trace elements added to the melt can influence both the nucleation and growth of the primary phase. In this wor ...

Classical nucleation theory predicts the shape of the nucleus in homogeneous solidification

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng

Macroscopic models of nucleation provide powerful tools for understanding activated phase transition processes. These models do not provide atomistic insights and can thus sometimes lack material-specific descriptions. Here, we provide a comprehensive fram ...
