Recursive entropy in thermodynamics: expounding the statistical-physics basis of the zentropy approach

Luke Allen Myers, Nigel Lee En Hew, Shun-Li Shang +1

The recursive property of entropy is well known in information theory; however, the concept is underutilized in thermodynamics, despite being the field where the concept of entropy…

Synthesis of epitaxial TaO thin films on AlO by suboxide molecular-beam epitaxy and thermal laser epitaxy

Yorick A. Birkhölzer, Anna S. Park, Noah Schnitzer +28

Tantalum dioxide (TaO2) is a metastable tantalum compound. Here, we report the epitaxial stabilization of TaO2 on Al2O3 (1-102) (r-plane sapphire) substrates using suboxide molecul…

Symmetry-broken superconducting configurations from density functional theory for bcc and hcp metals and Nb3Sn

Shun-Li Shang, Zi-Kui Liu

We recently proposed a unified theoretical framework for superconductivity that broadens the applicability of Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory to both conventional and unconv…

ZENN: A Thermodynamics-Inspired Computational Framework for Heterogeneous Data-Driven Modeling

Shun Wang, Shun-Li Shang, Zi-Kui Liu +1

Traditional entropy-based methods - such as cross-entropy loss in classification problems - have long been essential tools for representing the information uncertainty and physical…

Achieving accurate entropy and melting point by ab initio molecular dynamics and zentropy theory: Application to fluoride and chloride molten salts

Shun-Li Shang, Nigel L. E. Hew, Rushi Gong +6

We have recently developed a breakthrough methodology for rapidly computing entropy in both solids and liquids by integrating a multiscale entropy approach (known as zentropy theor…

Thermodynamic modeling of binaries in Cr-Fe-Mo-Nb-Ni supported by first-principles calculations

Hui Sun, Shun-Li Shang, Shuang Lin +3

Thermodynamic descriptions of all binaries within the Cr-Fe-Mo-Nb-Ni system have been complied and, where necessary, remodeled. Notably, the Cr-Fe and Fe-Mo systems have been remod…
