A metastable phase of shocked bulk single crystal copper: an atomistic simulation study.

ABSTRACT: Structural phase transformation in bulk single crystal Cu in different orientation under shock loading of different intensities has been investigated in this article. Atomistic simulations, such as, classical molecular dynamics using embedded atom method (EAM) interatomic potential and ab-initio based molecular dynamics simulations, have been carried out to demonstrate FCC-to-BCT phase transformation under shock loading of ?100? oriented bulk single crystal copper. Simulated x-ray diffraction patterns have been utilized to confirm the structural phase transformation before shock-induced melting in Cu(100).

Atomistic evolution during the phase transition on a metastable single NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticle.

Project description:The phase evolution of as-prepared NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with a metastable cubic structure is studied based on in situ heating experiments via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The atomistic behavior on the single NaYF4:Yb,Er UCNP is observed during the phase transition. The formation and evolution of voids on the NaYF4:Yb,Er UCNP appear at a temperature below 420?°C. Small circular voids are transformed at the initial stage to a large, hexagonal-pillar shaped single void. Two different routes to reach the stable ?-phase from the metastable cubic structure are identified on a single NaYF4:Yb,Er UCNP. The first is via a stable ?-phase and the second is a direct change via a liquid-like phase. The specific orientation relationships, [110]cubic//[11[Formula: see text]0]hexagonal and {002}cubic//{2[Formula: see text]00}hexagonal, between the cubic and hexagonal structures are confirmed. Additionally, a few extra-half planes terminated in the cubic structures are also observed at the cubic/hexagonal interface.

Effects of Re, W and Co on dislocation nucleation at the crack tip in the <i>γ</i>-phase of Ni-based single-crystal superalloys by atomistic simulation.

Project description:The effects of Re, W and Co on dislocation nucleation at the crack tip in Ni have been studied by the molecular dynamics method. The results show that the activation energy of dislocation nucleation is lowered by the addition of Re, W and Co; moreover, the activation energy decreases when the alloying element increases from 1 at.% to 2 at.%. The energy landscapes of the atoms are studied to elucidate these effects. Quantification analyses of the bonding strength between Ni and X (X = Re, W or Co) reveal that strong bonding between Ni and X (X = Re, W or Co) in the dislocation nucleation process can suppress the cleavage process and enhance the ability of dislocation nucleation. The surface energy and unstable stacking fault energy are also calculated to understand the alloying effects on the dislocation nucleation process. The results imply that interaction between alloying elements and Ni atoms plays a role in promoting the dislocation nucleation process at the crack tip. The ability of Re, W and Co in improving the ductility of the Ni crack system is in the order W > Re > Co. The results could provide useful information in the design of Ni-based superalloys.

Atomistic simulation of tensile deformation behavior of ?5 tilt grain boundaries in copper bicrystal.

Project description:Experiments on polycrystalline metallic samples have indicated that Grain boundary (GB) structure can affect many material properties related to fracture and plasticity. In this study, atomistic simulations are employed to investigate the structures and mechanical behavior of both symmetric and asymmetric ?5[0 0 1] tilt GBs of copper bicrystal. First, the equilibrium GB structures are generated by molecular statics simulation at 0K. The results show that the ?5 asymmetric GBs with different inclination angles (?) are composed of only two structural units corresponding to the two ?5 symmetric GBs. Molecular dynamics simulations are then conducted to investigate the mechanical response and the underlying deformation mechanisms of bicrystal models with different ?5 GBs under tension. Tensile deformation is applied under both 'free' and 'constrained' boundary conditions. Simulation results revealed different mechanical properties of the symmetric and asymmetric GBs and indicated that stress state can play an important role in the deformation mechanisms of nanocrystalline materials.

PTFE Crystal Growth in Composites: A Phase-Field Model Simulation Study.

Project description:We investigated, via a phase-field model simulation, the effects of a matrix's properties and a filler's characters on the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) crystal growth process in composites under various supercooling degrees. The results show that the supercooling degree has a deciding influence on the crystal growth process. The intrinsic properties of PTFE polymer, such as anisotropic strength and phase transition latent heat, affect the growth rate, orientation, and interfacial integrity of the crystal trunk and the branching of the PTFE crystal growth process. The factors of the PTFE crystallization process, such as anisotropic strength and phase translation interface thickness, affect the uniformity and crystallization degree of the PTFE crystal. In the composites, the biphasic interface induces the crystal growth direction via the polymer chain segment migration rate, of which the degree depends on the shapes of the filler and the PTFE crystal nucleus. According to the results, choosing the low molecular weight PTFE and mixture filler with various particle sizes and surface curvatures as the raw materials of PTFE-based composites improves the crystallization of the PTFE matrix.

Defects, Diffusion, and Dopants in Li2Ti6O13: Atomistic Simulation Study.

Project description:In this study, force field-based simulations are employed to examine the defects in Li-ion diffusion pathways together with activation energies and a solution of dopants in Li2Ti6O13. The lowest defect energy process is found to be the Li Frenkel (0.66 eV/defect), inferring that this defect process is most likely to occur. This study further identifies that cation exchange (Li-Ti) disorder is the second lowest defect energy process. Long-range diffusion of Li-ion is observed in the bc-plane with activation energy of 0.25 eV, inferring that Li ions move fast in this material. The most promising trivalent dopant at the Ti site is Co3+, which would create more Li interstitials in the lattice required for high capacity. The favorable isovalent dopant is the Ge4+ at the Ti site, which may alter the mechanical property of this material. The electronic structures of the favorable dopants are analyzed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Optimization of crystal nucleation close to a metastable fluid-fluid phase transition.

Project description:The presence of a metastable fluid-fluid critical point is thought to dramatically influence the crystallization pathway, increasing the nucleation rate by many orders of magnitude over the predictions of classical nucleation theory. We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the kinetics of crystallization in the vicinity of this metastable critical point and throughout the metastable fluid-fluid phase diagram. To quantitatively understand how the fluid-fluid phase separation affects the crystal nucleation, we evaluate accurately the kinetics and reconstruct the thermodynamic free-energy landscape of crystal formation. Contrary to expectations, we find no special advantage of the proximity of the metastable critical point on the crystallization rates. However, we find that the ultrafast formation of a dense liquid phase causes the crystallization to accelerate both near the metastable critical point and almost everywhere below the fluid-fluid spinodal line. These results unveil three different scenarios for crystallization that could guide the optimization of the process in experiments.

Atomistic and experimental study on thermal conductivity of bulk and porous cerium dioxide.

Project description:Cerium dioxide (CeO2) is a surrogate material for traditional nuclear fuels and an essential material for a wide variety of industrial applications both in its bulk and nanometer length scale. Despite this fact, the underlying physics of thermal conductivity (kL), a crucial design parameter in industrial applications, has not received enough attention. In this article, a systematic investigation of the phonon transport properties was performed using ab initio calculations unified with the Boltzmann transport equation. An extensive examination of the phonon mode contribution, available three-phonon scattering phase space, mode Grüneisen parameter and mean free path (MFP) distributions were also conducted. To further augment theoretical predictions of the kL, measurements were made on specimens prepared by spark plasma sintering using the laser flash technique. Since the sample porosity plays a vital role in the value of measured kL, the effect of porosity on kL by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were investigated. Finally, we also determined the nanostructuring effect on the thermal properties of CeO2. Since CeO2 films find application in various industries, the dependence of thickness on the in-plane and cross-plane kL for an infinite CeO2 thin film was also reported.

Subnanosecond phase transition dynamics in laser-shocked iron.

Project description:Iron is one of the most studied chemical elements due to its sociotechnological and planetary importance; hence, understanding its structural transition dynamics is of vital interest. By combining a short pulse optical laser and an ultrashort free electron laser pulse, we have observed the subnanosecond structural dynamics of iron from high-quality x-ray diffraction data measured at 50-ps intervals up to 2500 ps. We unequivocally identify a three-wave structure during the initial compression and a two-wave structure during the decaying shock, involving all of the known structural types of iron (?-, ?-, and ?-phase). In the final stage, negative lattice pressures are generated by the propagation of rarefaction waves, leading to the formation of expanded phases and the recovery of ?-phase. Our observations demonstrate the unique capability of measuring the atomistic evolution during the entire lattice compression and release processes at unprecedented time and strain rate.

A Coarse-Grained Model of Unstructured Single-Stranded DNA Derived from Atomistic Simulation and Single-Molecule Experiment.

Project description:A simple coarse-grained model of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was developed, featuring only two sites per nucleotide that represent the centers of mass of the backbone and sugar/base groups. In the model, the interactions between sites are described using tabulated bonded potentials optimized to reproduce the solution structure of DNA observed in atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Isotropic potentials describe nonbonded interactions, implicitly taking into account the solvent conditions to match the experimentally determined radius of gyration of ssDNA. The model reproduces experimentally measured force-extension dependence of an unstructured DNA strand across 2 orders of magnitude of the applied force. The accuracy of the model was confirmed by measuring the end-to-end distance of a dT14 fragment via FRET while stretching the molecules using optical tweezers. The model offers straightforward generalization to systems containing double-stranded DNA and DNA binding proteins.

Atomistic and machine learning studies of solute segregation in metastable grain boundaries.

Project description:The interaction of alloying elements with grain boundaries (GBs) influences many phenomena, such as microstructural evolution and transport. While GB solute segregation has been the subject of active research in recent years, most studies focus on ground-state GB structures, i.e., lowest energy GBs. The impact of GB metastability on solute segregation remains poorly understood. Herein, we leverage atomistic simulations to generate metastable structures for a series of [001] and [110] symmetric tilt GBs in a model Al-Mg system and quantify Mg segregation to individual sites within these boundaries. Our results show large variations in the atomic Voronoi volume due to GB metastability, which are found to influence the segregation energy. The atomistic data are then used to train a Gaussian Process machine learning model, which provides a probabilistic description of the GB segregation energy in terms of the local atomic environment. In broad terms, our approach extends existing GB segregation models by accounting for variability due to GB metastability, where the segregation energy is treated as a distribution rather than a single-valued quantity.
