A self-contained algorithm for determination of solid-liquid equilibria in an alloy system
Lin Yang, Yang Sun, Zhuo Ye +4
We describe a self-contained procedure to evaluate the free energy of liquid and solid phases of an alloy system. The free energy of a single-element solid phase is calculated with…

Nucleation of stoichiometric compounds from liquid: the role of the kinetic factor
H. Song, Y. Sun, F. Zhang +3
While the role of the free energy barrier during nucleation is a text-book subject the importance of the kinetic factor is frequently underestimated. We obtained both quantities fr…

Overcoming the time limitation in Molecular Dynamics simulation of crystal nucleation: a persistent-embryo approach
Yang Sun, Huajing Song, Feng Zhang +5
The crystal nucleation from liquid in most cases is too rare to be accessed within the limited timescales of the conventional molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Here, we developed…
