Shifting the atomic diffusion thermodynamics, e.g. with involvement reactants, etc., would initiate the thermodynamically favorable aggregation of Ir atoms into clusters on graphdiyne.

ABSTRACTThe crystalline structure surrounding a single neutral vacancy in silicon is investigated through extensive first-principles total-energy calculations. The results indicate the existence of two distinct distortions of the lattice around the vacancy with essentially the same formation energies at zero pressure, but, however, with different formation volumes. The effect of hydrostatic and biaxial stresses on the relative concentration of each distortion is discussed, suggesting experimental ways to investigate the crystalline structure around the single vacancy and its role as a mediator of atomic diffusion in silicon.

We report a first-principles Molecular Dynamics investigation of the atomic motion in Silicon in the presence of an artificially created vacancy at high temperature (T ≥ 1200 K ). We observe that atomic diffusion events are affected by strong dynamical correlations. At temperatures close to the melting point we discover characteristic premelting phenomena which involve simultaneous jumps of several atoms and introduce a large amount of disorder in the structure.

AbstractForming metallurgical phases has a critical impact on the performance of dissimilar materials joints. Here, we shed light on the forming mechanism of equilibrium and non-equilibrium intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in dissimilar aluminum/steel joints with respect to processing history (e.g., the pressure and temperature profiles) and chemical composition, where the knowledge of free energy and atomic diffusion in the Al–Fe system was taken from first-principles phonon calculations and data available in the literature. We found that the metastable and ductile (judged by the presently predicted elastic constants) Al6Fe is a pressure (P) favored IMC observed in processes involving high pressures. The MoSi2-type Al2Fe is brittle and a strong P-favored IMC observed at high pressures. The stable, brittle η-Al5Fe2 is the most observed IMC (followed by θ-Al13Fe4) in almost all processes, such as fusion/solid-state welding and additive manufacturing (AM), since η-Al5Fe2 is temperature-favored, possessing high thermodynamic driving force of formation and the fastest atomic diffusivity among all Al–Fe IMCs. Notably, the ductile AlFe3, the less ductile AlFe, and most of the other IMCs can be formed during AM, making AM a superior process to achieve desired IMCs in dissimilar materials. In addition, the unknown configurations of Al2Fe and Al5Fe2 were also examined by machine learning based datamining together with first-principles verifications and structure predictions. All the IMCs that are not P-favored can be identified using the conventional equilibrium phase diagram and the Scheil-Gulliver non-equilibrium simulations.

Abstract Forming metallurgical phases has a critical impact on the performance of dissimilar materials joints. Here, we shed light on the forming mechanism of equilibrium and non-equilibrium intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in the dissimilar aluminum/steel joints with respect to processing history (e.g., the pressure- and temperature-profiles) and chemical composition, where the used knowledge of free energy and atomic diffusion in the Al-Fe system was taken from first-principles phonon calculations and data available in the literature. We found that the metastable while ductile (judged by the presently predicted elastic constants) Al6Fe is a pressure (P) favored IMC observed in the processes involving high pressures. The MoSi2-type Al2Fe is a brittle and a strong P-favored IMC observed at high pressures. The stable, brittle h-Al5Fe2 is the most commonly observed IMC (followed by q-Al13Fe4) in almost all processes, such as fusion/solid-state welding and additive manufacturing (AM), since h-Al5Fe2 is temperature-favored, possessing high thermodynamic driving force of formation and the fastest atomic diffusivity among all Al-Fe IMCs. Notably the ductile AlFe3, the less ductile AlFe, and most of the other IMCs can be formed during AM, making AM a superior process to achieve desired IMCs in dissimilar materials. In addition, the unknown configurations of Al2Fe and Al5Fe2 were also examined by machine learning based datamining together with first-principles verifications and structure predictor. All the IMCs, which are not P-favored, can be identified using the conventional equilibrium phase diagram and the Scheil-Gulliver non-equilibrium simulations.
