Visualizing metal-mediated nucleation and growth of GaN
Abby Liu, Zhucong Xi, Xiaobo Chen +6
Understanding the atomic-scale mechanisms governing metal-mediated nucleation and growth of gallium nitride (GaN) and related alloys is critical for tailoring their structural and…
The role of the solid-melt interface in accelerating the self-catalyzed growth kinetics of III-V semiconductors
Zhucong Xi, Abby Liu, Xiaobo Chen +5
Solid-melt interfaces play a pivotal role in governing crystal growth and metal-mediated epitaxy of gallium nitride (GaN) and other semiconductor materials. Using atomistic simulat…
Multiscale Modeling of Vacancy-Cluster Interactions and Solute Clustering Kinetics in Multicomponent Alloys
Zhucong Xi, Louis G. Hector, Amit Misra +1
Prediction of solute clustering kinetics in aged multicomponent alloys requires a quantitative understanding of complex vacancy-cluster interactions across multiple scales. Here, w…
Mechanism of Local Lattice Distortion Effects on Vacancy Migration Barriers in FCC Alloys
Zhucong Xi, Mingfei Zhang, Louis G. Hector +2
Accurate prediction of vacancy migration energy barriers, , in multi-component alloys is extremely challenging yet critical for the development of diffusional transformation…
Formation of a single quasicrystal upon collision of multiple grains
Insung Han, Kelly L. Wang, Andrew T. Cadotte +5
Quasicrystals exhibit long-range order but lack translational symmetry. When grown as single crystals, they possess distinctive and unusual properties owing to the absence of grain…
