Effects of dopants on the glass forming ability in Al-based metallic alloy
Yang Sun, Feng Zhang, Lin Yang +4
The effect of dopants on the metallic glass forming ability is usually considered based on analysis of changes in the liquid structure or thermodynamics. What is missing in such co…
Temperature dependence of the solid-liquid interface free energy of Ni and Al from molecular dynamics simulation of nucleation
Yang Sun, Feng Zhang, Huajing Song +3
The temperature dependence of the solid-liquid interfacial free energy, γ, is investigated for Al and Ni at the undercooled temperature regime based on a recently developed persist…
Calculation of Critical Nucleation Rates by the Persistent Embryo Method: Application to Quasi Hard Sphere Models
Shang Ren, Yang Sun, Feng Zhang +3
We study crystal nucleation of the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) model, using the recently introduced Persistent Embryo Method (PEM). The method provides detailed characterization…
Effect of Samarium doping on the nucleation of fcc-Aluminum in undercooled liquids
Yang Sun, Feng Zhang, Lin Yang +5
The effect of Sm doping on the fcc-Al nucleation was investigated in Al-Sm liquids with low Sm concentrations (xSm) with molecular dynamics simulations. The nucleation in the moder…
Spatially-correlated Site Occupancy in the Nonstoichiometric Meta-stable ε-Al60Sm11 Phase during Devitrification of Al-10.2 at.% Sm Glasses
Lin Yang, Feng Zhang, Fan-Qiang Meng +7
A metastable ε-Al60Sm11 phase appears during the initial devitrification of as-quenched Al-10.2 at.% Sm glasses. The ε phase is nonstoichiometric in nature since Al occupation is o…
Structural and Chemical Orders in Ni64.5Zr35.5 Metallic Glass by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Ling Tang, Tongqi Wen, Nan Wang +5
The atomic structure of Ni64.5Zr35.5 metallic glass has been investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The calculated structure factors from the MD glassy sample at room…
