摘要

In this work, the Metropolis Monte Carlo method within the isothermal-isobaric statistical ensemble, employing a two-band empirical many-body potential, is used to investigate segregation at free surfaces, on dislocations and on interstitial-type dislocation loops in bcc Fe95Cr5 and Fe90Cr10 alloys at various temperatures. In Fe90Cr10 with increase of temperature, a smooth transition from coexistence of alpha and alpha' phases to alpha solid solution is established in the bulk. For both alloys, strong Cr depletion occurs near the free surface layers, while Cr enrichment is found at interstitial dislocation loops and edge dislocations. No significant enrichment was observed in the core of 1/2 < 1 1 1 > screw dislocations. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Precipitation of Cr-rich clusters in Fe-Cr alloys: Effects of irradiation from first principles modeling and experimental observations

Mark Fedorov, Jan S. Wrobel, Andrew J. London, Krzysztof J. Kurzydlowski, Chu-Chun Fu, Tonci Tadic, Sergei L. Dudarev, Duc Nguyen-Manh

Summary: Using exchange Monte Carlo (MC) simulations based on an ab initio-parameterized Cluster Expansion (CE) model, the phase stability of low-Cr Fe-Cr alloys was explored as a function of vacancy (Vac), carbon, and nitrogen content. It was found that the addition of a small amount of C or N in an alloy without vacancies resulted in the formation of ordered compounds containing high amounts of Cr, C, and N. Cr segregated to interstitial atoms and the concentration of Cr in Cr-rich clusters increased with the concentration of C and/or N. In the presence of vacancies, C and N aggregate to the core regions of vacancy clusters, reducing the segregation of Cr-rich clusters. The structure of Cr-rich clusters varied depending on the concentration of interstitial atoms and the ratio of N to C. The predictions derived from MC simulations were in agreement with experimental observations of Fe-Cr alloys exposed to ion irradiation.

Electronic structure and estimation of Curie temperature in Ca2BIrO6 (B = Cr, Fe) double perovskites

Shalika Ram Bhandari, K. C. Santosh, Sarita Lawaju, Ram Kumar Thapa, Gopi Chandra Kaphle, Madhav Prasad Ghimire

Summary: By using density functional theory, the electronic and magnetic properties of Ca2CrIrO6 and Ca2FeIrO6 were investigated, revealing changes in bandgap and effective magnetic moment upon element replacement, indicating potential applications. The findings suggest the possibility of manipulating bandgap and effective magnetic moment through chemical tuning for material fabrication in device applications. Further estimation of Curie temperature (T-C) suggests valid trends similar to other perovskites, providing useful insights for experimental synthesis and transport measurement in modern technological devices.

Composition stability of single fcc phase in Cr-Fe-Mn-Ni alloys: First-principles prediction and experimental validation

Mark Fedorov, Jan S. Wrobel, Witold Chrominski, Grzegorz Cieslak, Magdalena Plocinska, Krzysztof J. Kurzydlowski, Duc Nguyen-Manh

Summary: The relative phase stability of fcc and bcc Cr-Fe-Mn-Ni alloys was studied using density functional theory, cluster expansion (CE), and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The CE models enabled the calculation of Gibbs free energies of formation for different compositions, and the MC simulations provided insights into the stability of these alloys at different temperatures. The results obtained were in line with experimental data and helped identify the alloys that are predicted to have a single fcc phase over a wide temperature range.

Stochastic FE analysis of stress concentrations in curved glulam beams due to the uncertainty of material direction

Taoyi Yu, Ani Khaloian-Sarnaghi, Franziska Seeber, Jan-Willem van de Kuilen

Summary: In this study, Monte-Carlo analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of annual-ring orientation on stress concentration in curved glulam beams. A virtual cutting program is developed to simulate the sawing processes and generate a database of sawn boards with characterized material direction. Randomly selected lamellas from the database are used to construct FE models for Monte-Carlo simulation. The results show that considering the annual-ring effect can significantly increase the radial stress in the middle height area of the glulam beams, indicating an underestimation of stress in common practice.

Decentralized Bayesian learning with Metropolis-adjusted Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

Vyacheslav Kungurtsev, Adam Cobb, Tara Javidi, Brian Jalaian

Summary: With the widespread use of embedded software on autonomous devices, federated learning performed by decentralized networks of agents is becoming increasingly important. Bayesian approaches benefit from offering more uncertainty information, and Langevin and Hamiltonian methods are effective for sampling from uncertain distributions. We present the first approach to incorporating constant stepsize Metropolis-adjusted HMC in the decentralized sampling framework and demonstrate its effectiveness numerically on standard real-world problems, including decentralized learning of non-convex neural networks.

Phase field simulation of grain boundary segregation and radiation-enhanced segregation in Fe-Cr alloys

Yang Zhao-Xi, Liu Wen-Bo, Zhang Cong-Yu, He Xin-Fu, Sun Zheng-Yang, Jia Li-Xia, Shi Tian-Tian, Yun Di

Summary: Ferritic/martensitic steel with a Cr atomic content of 7%-15% is a promising candidate for advanced nuclear power systems due to its swelling and creep fracture resistance under irradiation. The segregation of Cr at grain boundaries is greatly influenced by temperature and significantly enhanced under irradiation. Increasing Cr concentration in the matrix weakens the relative increase of Cr concentration at grain boundaries.

A method for evaluation of aerodynamic lift and drag based on statistical mechanics

Haibing Peng

Summary: Despite the widespread use of Navier-Stokes equations in computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD), there are still unanswered questions due to the absence of considering the statistical nature of discrete air molecules. In this study, we propose a statistical mechanics-based approach called the volume-element method, which allows for the numerical evaluation of aerodynamic lift and drag. We obtained pressure and friction values as a function of the angle of attack for flat-plate airfoils, and this method can be directly applied to convex-shape airfoils and combined with Monte Carlo simulations for concave-shape airfoils. This approach not only has implications for aerodynamic applications, but also opens up possibilities for further applications in Boson or Fermi gases.

An object kinetic Monte Carlo method to model precipitation and segregation in alloys under irradiation

J. P. Balbuena, L. Malerba, N. Castin, G. Bonny, M. J. Caturla

Summary: A method based on object kinetic Monte Carlo is presented, which can simulate segregation and precipitation in metallic alloys with the presence of both vacancies and self-interstitials. The model divides the simulation box into cells and uses local concentration of the alloy to bias defect migration, considering the proper thermodynamics and stiffness coefficient for neighbor-ing effects. The explicit description of mixed pairs of point defects with the alloy element allows for correct reproduction of the temperature dependence of defect evolution.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of He-V complexes on H behaviors on different W surfaces using DFT calculations. The results show that H dissolution is most difficult but H trapping is easiest on the W (110) surface, while the opposite is true on the W (111) surface. Moreover, the presence of He-V complexes increases the difficulty of H diffusion from bulk to surface and desorption.

Theoretical estimation of multiple hydrogen isotope content in metal layers slowly co-deposited from plasmas

S. Krat, A. Prishvitsyn, Yu. Gasparyan

Summary: This study proposes a probabilistic and diffusion-based model to describe the co-deposition of multiple hydrogen isotopes with slowly grown metal layers. The model calculates the relative concentrations of different hydrogen isotopes in the co-deposited metal layers. It is found that if hydrogen isotopes have different detrapping energies, only the isotope with the highest detrapping energy shows a monotonic decrease in concentration with deposition temperature. Furthermore, the study evaluates the uncertainty of tritium concentration in the co-deposited layer based on the uncertainty in detrapping energy of tritium and deuterium, predicting a >10% tritium concentration uncertainty for a 0.01 eV difference.
