Medium-range structural order in amorphous arsenic
Yuanbin Liu, Yuxing Zhou, Richard Ademuwagun +4
Medium-range order (MRO) is a key structural feature of amorphous materials, but its origin and nature remain elusive. Here, we reveal the MRO in amorphous arsenic (a-As) using adv…

Full-cycle device-scale simulations of memory materials with a tailored atomic-cluster-expansion potential
Yuxing Zhou, Daniel F. Thomas du Toit, Stephen R. Elliott +2
Computer simulations have long been key to understanding and designing phase-change materials (PCMs) for memory technologies. Machine learning is now increasingly being used to acc…

The pathway to chirality in elemental tellurium
Yuxing Zhou, Stephen R. Elliott, Daniel F. Thomas du Toit +2
Chiral crystals, like chiral molecules, cannot be superimposed onto their mirror images -- a fundamental property that has been linked to interesting physical behavior and exploite…
