Reversible non-equilibrium phase transformation in amorphous germanium

Yang Huang, Marek Mihalkovič, Michael Widom

First principles molecular dynamics simulations of germanium reveal a reversible liquid-glass transition below the equilibrium melting point with a wide hysteresis loop. Direct cal…

First-Principles Thermodynamics of AlV: An Analytical Treatment of Localized Anharmonic Modes

Hassan Y. Albuhairan, Marek Mihalkovič, Michael Widom

Many complex intermetallic structures possess cage-like environments that can host additional guest atoms. In AlV, these atoms give rise to low-frequency, localized vibratio…

First principles investigation of phase stability in the B-Pt alloy system

Michael Widom

The B-Pt alloy system contains several Pt-rich phases exhibiting complex structures, many with partial site occupation. It also exhibits a deep (nearly 1000 degrees C) eutectic. We…

First-principles study of the order-disorder transition in the AlCrTiV high entropy alloy

Michael Widom

The AlCrTiV high entropy alloy undergoes an order-disorder transition from body centered cubic (Strukturbericht A2) at high temperatures to the CsCl structure (B2) at intermediate…

Simulated structure and thermodynamics of decagonal Al-Co-Cu quasicrystals

Y. Huang, M. Widom, M. Mihalkovič

Atomic structures of Al-Co-Cu decagonal quasicrystals (QCs) are investigated using empirical oscillating pair potentials (EOPP) in molecular dynamic (MD) simulations that we enhanc…
