Abstract

All of the obtained insights and findings,including a variety of further interesting ideas, have been documented in the five publications printed hereafter. Together these paper provide a valuable set of suggestions about, how computational thermodynamic simulations should be performed in future. All have in common that they demonstrate the great potential of first-principles and atomistic simulations in obtaining qualitative insights, as well as quantitative values for thermodynamic properties. Obeying these suggestions will result in more physical and first-principles based approaches, yielding in the long-term to a higher predictive power of CALPHAD approaches. Obeying these suggestions will result in more physical and first-principles based approaches, yielding in the
