Material Effects on Electron Capture Decays in Cryogenic Sensors
Amit Samanta, Stephan Friedrich, Kyle G. Leach +1
Several current searches for physics beyond the standard model are based on measuring the electron capture (EC) decay of radionuclides implanted into cryogenic high-resolution sens…
Quantized grain boundary states promote nanoparticle alignment during imperfect oriented attachment
Andrew P. Lange, Amit Samanta, Tammy Y. Olson +1
Oriented attachment (OA) has become a well-recognized mechanism for the growth of metal, ceramic, and biomineral crystals. While many computational and experimental studies of OA h…
Predicting phase behavior of grain boundaries with evolutionary search and machine learning
Qiang Zhu, Amit Samanta, Bingxi Li +2
The study of grain boundary phase transitions is an emerging field until recently dominated by experiments. The major bottleneck in exploration of this phenomenon with atomistic mo…
Atomistic simulations of rare events using gentlest ascent dynamics
Amit Samanta, Weinan E
The dynamics of complex systems often involve thermally activated barrier crossing events that allow these systems to move from one basin of attraction on the high dimensional ener…
Thermodynamic stability of oxygen point defects in cubic Zirconia
Amit Samanta, Thomas Lenosky, Ju Li
Zirconia (ZrO2) is an important material with technological applications which are affected by point defect physics. Ab-initio calculations are performed to understand the structur…
