It’s not easy to surprise physicists with a phase change. Yet when Tom White first reviewed the data from a new experiment ...

The secret to how steel hardens and shape-memory alloys snap into place lies in rapid, atomic-scale shifts that scientists ...

Solar cells and computer chips need silicon layers that are as perfect as possible. Every imperfection in the crystalline ...

Increasing numerical studies showed that the simplest Hubbard model on the square lattice with strong repulsion may not ...

This article delves into the critical issue of corrosion and material degradation in geological CO2 storage, highlighting the ...

The phase diagram has a closed-loop binodal (as in associative phase diagrams) with two critical points. One critical point is in common with the strong driving force cases, that is, the system loses ...

The molar phase fractions were calculated with Thermo-Calc software (release S) with adequate databases 12, 13, 15, 16. Figure 1 shows Al-rich corner of Al-Cu-Si phase diagram, dashed lines show the ...

Phase diagrams for 140 variants of prion-like low-complexity domains are computed to establish scaling laws that quantify the impact of amino acid mutations on the thermodynamic stability of ...

The phase diagrams we compute explore the plane of temperature (vertical axis) versus density (horizontal axis). For each phase diagram, we run a set of about 20 Direct Coexistence simulations– each ...

According to Fe-Mn phase diagram, temperature interval of δ-ferrite phase is only about 30 °C in the Fe-7.9Mn alloy. In view of quite high cooling rate of atomized powder, liquid alloy may be directly ...

One of the most important tools, and perhaps one of the most confusing tools, for metallurgists is the binary phase diagram. A binary phase diagram plots the composition, expressed as a percentage of ...

Such “solid solution” regions can now be found in virtually all high-temperature parts of every binary phase diagram. This means that we don’t actually know what the microstructure is in these regions ...
