Beyond packing of hard spheres: The effects of core softness, non-additivity, intermediate-range repulsion, and many-body interactions on the glass-forming ability of bulk metallic glasses
Kai Zhang, Meng Fan, Yanhui Liu +3
When a liquid is cooled well below its melting temperature at a rate that exceeds the critical cooling rate , the crystalline state is bypassed and an amorphous glassy state f…
Magnetic alignment of block copolymer microdomains by intrinsic chain anisotropy
Yekaterina Rokhlenko, Kai Zhang, Manesh Gopinadhan +6
We examine the role of intrinsic chain susceptibility anisotropy in magnetic field directed self-assembly of a block copolymer using \textit{in situ} X-ray scattering. Alignment of…
On the origin of multi-component bulk metallic glasses: Atomic size mismatches and de-mixing
K. Zhang, B. Dice, Y. Liu +3
The critical cooling rate , below which liquids crystallize upon cooling, characterizes the glass-forming ability (GFA) of the system. While pure metals are typicall…
Asymmetric crystallization during cooling and heating in model glass-forming systems
Minglei Wang, Kai Zhang, Zhusong Li +4
We perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the crystallization process in binary Lennard-Jones systems during heating and cooling to investigate atomic-scale crystallization…
