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…
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…
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…
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…
