Uncertainty Quantification of Atomistic (DFT and MD), Mesoscale (PFM) and Continuum (CALPHAD) Methods and the Impact on Thermodynamic Models of Metals: A Review

March 5, 2021

Gabriel Joshua, Noah Paulson, Thien Duong, Francesca Tavazza, Chandler Becker, Santanu Chaudhuri, Stan Marious
Design of improved metals relies on multi-scale computer simulations to provide thermodynamic properties when experiments are difficult to conduct. In particular, atomistic methods such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) have

Monolayer MoS2 is a promising semiconductor to overcome the physical dimension limits of the microelectronic devices. Understanding the thermochemical stability of MoS2 is essential since these devices generate heat and are susceptible to oxidative

Topological surface states of MnBi2Te4 at finite temperatures and at domain walls

February 24, 2021
Author(s)
Kevin F. Garrity, Sugata Chowdhury, Francesca Tavazza
MnBi2Te4 has recently been the subject of intensive study, due to the prediction of axion insulator, Weyl semimetal, and quantum anomalous Hall insulator phases, depending on the structure and magnetic ordering. Experimental results have con firmed some

The anisotropy in the optical constants of quartz crystals for soft X-rays

The refractive index of a y-cut SiO2 crystal surface is reconstructed from orientation-dependent soft X-ray reflectometry measurements in the energy range from 45 to 620 eV. Owing to the anisotropy of the crystal structure in the (100) and (001) directions

A NIST facility for Resonant Soft X-ray Scattering measuring nano-scale soft matter structure at NSLS-II

January 26, 2021

Magneto-thermoelectric transport provides an understanding of coupled electron-hole-phonon current in topological materials and has applications in energy conversion and cooling. In this work, we investigate the effects of an external magnetic field ( 3 T)

Two-beam coupling by a hot electron nonlinearity

Jagannath Paul, Mario Miscuglio, Yaliang Gui, Volker Sorger, Jared Wahlstrand
Transparent conductive oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) have attracted much recent interest for their enhanced optical nonlinearity near the epsilon near zero wavelength. The nonlinearity of these materials is caused by laser heating of electrons

Xin Gui, Ryan Klein, Craig Brown, Weiwei Xie
Subtle changes in chemical bonds may result in dramatic revolutions in magnetic properties in solid state materials. MnPt 5P, a new derivative of the rare-earth-free ferromagnetic MnPt5As, was discovered and is presented in this work. MnPt 5P was

We investigate the magnetic properties of LiYbO 2, containing a three-dimensionally frustrated, diamondlike lattice via neutron scattering, magnetization, and heat capacity measurements. The stretched diamond network of Yb 3+ ions in LiYbO 2 enters a long

Field-Induced Topological Hall Effect and Double-Fan Spin Structure with a c-Axis Component in the Metallic Kagome Antiferromagnetic Compound YMn 6 Sn 6
