From Stacking Disorder to Cubic Order: Ice Crystallization from Deeply Supercooled Water

Yulin Lin, Weimin Guo, Suvo Banik +9

Crystallization far from equilibrium can generate morphologies that defy classical crystal habits, yet the microscopic mechanisms linking atomic-scale disorder to emergent macrosco…

Sub-1-Angstrom-Resolution Imaging Reveals Phase Contrast Transition in Ice Ih Caused by Basal Stacking Faults

Jingshan S. Du, Suvo Banik, Lehan Yao +3

Phase-contrast transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of hexagonal ice (Ih) along [0001] sometimes shows a honeycomb-like pattern, often interpreted as individual oxygen columns in…

Physically Interpretable Interatomic Potentials via Symbolic Regression and Reinforcement Learning

Bilvin Varughese, Troy D. Loeffler, Suvo Banik +9

The development of next-generation molecular simulation models requires moving beyond pre-defined functional forms toward machine learning (ML) techniques that directly capture mul…

Harnessing Machine Learning for Quantum-Accurate Predictions of Non-Equilibrium Behavior in 2D Materials

Yue Zhang, Robert J. Appleton, Kui Lin +5

Accurately predicting the non-equilibrium mechanical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials is essential for understanding their deformation, thermo-mechanical properties, an…

Molecular-Resolution Imaging of Ice Crystallized from Liquid Water

Jingshan S. Du, Suvo Banik, Henry Chan +6

Despite the ubiquity of ice, a molecular-resolution image of ice crystallized from liquid water or the resulting defect structure has never been obtained. Here, we report the stabi…
