Responses of Pre-transitional Materials with Stress-Generating Defects to External Stimuli: Superelasticity, Supermagnetostriction, Invar and Elinvar Effects

Wei-Feng Rao, Ye-Chuan Xu, John W. Morris +1

We considered a generic case of pre-transitional materials with static stress-generating defects, dislocations and coherent nano-precipitates, at temperatures close but above the s…

Elastically-mediated interactions between grain boundaries and precipitates in two-phase coherent solids

Yechuan Xu, Pierre-Antoine Geslin, Alain Karma

We investigate analytically and numerically the interaction between grain boundaries and second phase precipitates in two-phase coherent solids in the presence of misfit strain. Ou…

Unified Theoretical Framework for Polycrystalline Pattern Evolution

Ari Adland, Yechuan Xu, Alain Karma

The rate of curvature-driven grain growth in polycrystalline materials is well-known to be limited by interface dissipation. We show analytically and by simulations that, for syste…

Distorted magnetic orders and electronic structures of tetragonal FeSe from first-principles

Yong-Feng Li, Li-Fang Zhu, San-Dong Guo +2

We use the state-of-the-arts density-functional-theory method to study various magnetic orders and their effects on the electronic structures of the FeSe. Our calculated results sh…

Two-speed phase dynamics in Si(111) (7x7)-(1x1) phase transition

Ye-Chuan Xu, Bang-Gui Liu

We propose a natural two-speed model for the phase dynamics of Si(111) 77 phase transition to high temperature unreconstructed phase. We formulate the phase dynamics by usi…

Phase-field-crystal modeling of the (2x1)-(1x1) phase-transitions of Si(001) and Ge(001) surfaces

Ye-Chuan Xu, Bang-Gui Liu

We propose a two-dimensional phase-field-crystal model for the (21)-(11) phase transitions of Si(001) and Ge(001) surfaces. The dimerization in the 21 phase…
