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…
