The effect of Cr alloying on defect migration at Ni grain boundaries

Blas P. Uberuaga et al.

Summary: This work examines the effect of Cr alloying on mass transport along grain boundaries in Ni. It is found that Cr tends to reduce the rate of mass transport in general, but can greatly enhance atomic mobility in special scenarios. The presence of Cr eliminates grain boundary mobility that is sometimes observed in pure Ni boundaries. These insights provide a better understanding of the role of grain boundary alloying on transport and can contribute to the development of predictive models for materials evolution.

Strong Zeeman splitting in orbital-hybridized valleytronic interfaces

Steven T. Hartman et al.

Summary: This study investigates the valley splitting of eight low-strain interfaces of transition metal dichalcogenides stacked on 2D magnetic substrates using first-principle calculations. The results show that interlayer band hybridization plays a major role in the valley splitting, which is strongly dependent on the Hubbard U correction. The WSe2/CrGeTe3 interface has particularly strong interlayer interactions and can potentially lead to a high valley splitting.

Insights into structural difference between sodium polyacrylate PAA and sodium polymethacrylate PMA in salt solutions investigated by molecular simulations

Abhishek Kumar Gupta et al.

Summary: In this study, the structural properties and differences between highly charged polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polymethacrylic acid (PMA) in the presence of divalent salt magnesium chloride were investigated. The results showed that the conformation and chain stiffness of both PAA and PMA were influenced by salt concentration, with PMA being stiffer than PAA at higher salt concentrations. Additionally, PAA had a greater number of hydrogen bonds with water and higher coordination number compared to PMA, indicating a significant difference in hydrophilicity. The degree of binding between ions and polyelectrolytes decreased with increasing salt concentration.

Dissociating the phononic, magnetic and electronic contributions to thermal conductivity: a computational study in alpha-iron

S. Nikolov et al.

Summary: Computational tools have been limited in studying the thermal properties of magnetic materials, restricting our understanding of thermal transport in ferromagnets. This study utilized non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the interplay between phonon and magnetic spin contributions to thermal conductivity in alpha-iron. The results showed that the magnetic spin contribution to thermal conductivity exceeds lattice transport up to two-thirds of the Curie temperature, after which only strongly coupled magnon-phonon modes become the main heat carriers.

Review of computational approaches to predict the thermodynamic stability of inorganic solids

Christopher J. Bartel

Summary: This review discusses the fundamentals of calculating thermodynamic stability using first-principles methods. It covers stability with respect to decomposition into competing phases and stability with respect to phase transition into alternative structures at fixed composition. The state-of-the-art and practical considerations for each topic are summarized. The application of machine learning to stability predictions is also addressed. Finally, the limitations of thermodynamic stability predictions in predicting materials synthesizability are discussed.

Phase-field dislocation modeling of cross-slip

Lauren T. W. Fey et al.

Summary: The phase-field dislocation dynamics (PFDD) model is extended to simulate cross-slip in body-centered cubic materials. The model predicts different core structures and slip characteristics for screw and edge dislocations. It can be used to study the propensity of dislocations to cross-slip around crystallographic obstacles.

Estimation of fatigue crack initiation in the very high cycle fatigue regime for AA7075-T6 alloy using crystal plasticity finite element method

Bin Li et al.

Summary: Fatigue crack initiation in the very high cycle fatigue regime for an AA7075-T6 alloy was estimated using fatigue indicator parameters and crystal plasticity finite element model. The accumulation of plastic slip was found to be a necessary condition for fatigue crack formation, and cracks with higher Schmid factor and larger grain size were more likely to originate.

Arun Mannodi-Kanakkithodi et al.

Summary: The combination of halide perovskites, high-throughput computations, and machine learning shows great promise in providing novel materials for solar cell and optoelectronic technologies. By using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and machine learning algorithms, we can predict and identify impurity atoms that have optoelectronic activity. This accelerated screening can help in identifying problematic impurities and tuning the conductivity and photovoltaic absorption of perovskite materials.

Delineating the effect of substituent and π-bridge flip on the photophysical properties of pyrene derivatives: answers from DFT/TD-DFT calculations

Murugesan Panneerselvam et al.

Summary: In this study, a series of pyrene-based Schiff base derivatives were computationally designed and their optical properties were investigated. The results showed that different substituents and flipping of carbon-nitrogen bridge had significant effects on the optical properties of these molecules, with some being suitable for aggregation-induced emission applications and others for charge transfer applications. The substituent dependency and the effect of bridge flipping have potential implications for the future development of diverse applications of similar organic dyes.

Summary: Two-dimensional materials have diverse applications, but their limitations have created a need to generate new materials by combining and functionalizing them. The performance of these materials also depends on environmental factors, such as temperature and humidity. Understanding the structure of water near these materials is critical for designing devices with enhanced performance.
