Intrinsic ductility enhancement in Mg alloys elucidated via large-scale ab-initio calculations

Sambit Das, Vikram Gavini

Magnesium is the lightest structural alloy, yet its practical use is limited by its low ductility. Recent studies suggest ductility enhancement in dilute Mg alloys may stem from fa…

Field theoretic atomistics: Learning thermodynamic and variational surrogate to density functional theory

Sambit Das, Bikash Kanungo, Arghadwip Paul +1

The Hohenberg-Kohn (HK) theorem -- the bedrock of density functional theory (DFT) -- establishes a universal map from the external potential to the energy. It also relates the elec…
