英文摘要：

We report on the fabrication of fractal dendrites by laser induced melting of aluminum alloys. We target boron carbide (B4C) that is one of the most effective radiation-absorbing materials which is characterised by a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Due to the high fragility of B4C crystals we were able to introduce its nanoparticles into a stabilization aluminum matrix of AA385.0. The high intensity laser field action led to the formation of composite dendrite structures under the effect of local surface melting. The modelling of the dendrite cluster growth confirms its fractal nature and sheds light on the pattern behavior of the resulting quasicrystal structure.

Atomistic and continuum modeling of non-equilibrium melting of aluminum

MD simulations of the non-equilibrium melting of aluminum are performed both with and without accounting of the electronic subsystem. A continuum model of melting is purposed basing on the obtained MD results, in which the current phase state is described in terms of fields of concentration and size of melting sites. Growth equation for melting areas is derived from the heat fluxes analysis. Nucleation equation for melting sites is formulated basing on the thermofluctuational approach. The method of determination of the model coefficients with using the MD simulation results is purposed. The c…

Re-entrant melting of sodium, magnesium, and aluminum: General trend

Re-entrant melting (in which a substance's melting point starts to decrease beyond a certain pressure) is believed to be an unusual phenomenon. Among the elements, it has so far only been observed in a very limited number of species, e.g., the alkali metals. Our density functional theory calculations reveal that this behavior actually extends beyond alkali metals to include magnesium, which also undergoes re-entrant melting, though at the much higher pressure of ~300 GPa. We find that the origin of re-entrant melting is the faster softening of interatomic interactions in the liquid phase than …

Routine calculation of ab initio melting curves: application to aluminum

We present a simple, fast, and reliable method to compute the melting curves of materials with ab initio molecular dynamics. It is based on the two-phase thermodynamic model of [Lin et al., J. Chem. Phys. 119, 11792 (2003)] and its improved version given by [Desjarlais, Phys. Rev. E, 88, 062145 (2013)]. In this model, the velocity autocorrelation function is utilized to calculate the contribution of the nuclei motion to the entropy of the solid and liquid phases. It is then possible to find the thermodynamic conditions of equal Gibbs free energy between these phases, defining the melting curve…

The melting behavior of lutetium aluminum perovskite LuAlO3

DTA measurements with mixtures of aluminum oxide and lutetium oxide around the 1:1 perovskite composition were performed up to 1970 deg. C. A peak with onset 1901 deg C was due to the melting of the eutectic Lu4Al2O9 (monoclinic phase) and LuAlO3 (perovskite). Neither peritectic melting of the perovskite nor its decomposition in the solid phase could be resolved experimentally. The maximum of the eutectic peak size is near x=0.44, on the Lu-rich side of the perovskite, which is consistent with the conclusion that LuAlO3 melts peritectically at ca. 1907 deg. C as proposed by Wu, Pelton, J. Allo…

Analysis of acoustic emission during the melting of embedded indium particles in an aluminum matrix: a study of plastic strain accommodation during phase transformation

Acoustic emission is used here to study melting and solidification of embedded indium particles in the size range of 0.2 to 3 um in diameter and to show that dislocation generation occurs in the aluminum matrix to accommodate a 2.5% volume change. The volume averaged acoustic energy produced by indium particle melting is similar to that reported for bainite formation upon continuous cooling. A mechanism of prismatic loop generation is proposed to accommodate the volume change and an upper limit to the geometrically necessary increase in dislocation density is calculated as 4.1 x 10^9 cm^-2 for…

Adjusting the melting point of a model system via Gibbs-Duhem integration: application to a model of Aluminum

Model interaction potentials for real materials are generally optimized with respect to only those experimental properties that are easily evaluated as mechanical averages (e.g., elastic constants (at T=0 K), static lattice energies and liquid structure). For such potentials, agreement with experiment for the non-mechanical properties, such as the melting point, is not guaranteed and such values can deviate significantly from experiment. We present a method for re-parameterizing any model interaction potential of a real material to adjust its melting temperature to a value that is closer to it…

Premelting of Al nonperfect (111) surface

Melting behaviors of aluminum (111) perfect/nonperfect surfaces, characterized by structure ordering parameter, have been investigated by classical molecular dynamics simulation with embedded atom method potential. Al (111) perfect surface has a superheating temperature above bulk Al melting point Tm, in this work, by about 80 K. Al nonperfect (111) surface has somewhat different local lattice structure from that on (111) perfect surface. Al nonperfect (111) surfaces tempt to premelt when temperature is less than Tm, in our simulation, by about 45 K. Aluminum atoms on the nonperfect surface zo…

Lowering of surface melting temperature in atomic clusters with a nearly closed shell structure

We investigate the interplay of particle number, N, and structural properties of selected clusters with N=12 up to N=562 by employing Gupta potentials parameterized for Aluminum and extensive Monte-Carlo simulations. Our analysis focuses on closed shell structures with extra atoms. The latter can put the cluster under a significant stress and we argue that typically such a strained system exhibits a reduced energy barrier for (surface) diffusion of cluster atoms. Consequently, also its surface melting temperature, T_S, is reduced, so that T_S separates from and actually falls well below the bu…

Simulation of Laser Ablation in Aluminum: The Effectivity of Double Pulses

Lasers are becoming a more and more important tool in cutting and shaping materials. Improving precision and effectivity is an ongoing demand in science and industry. One possibility are double pulses. Here we study laser ablation of aluminum by the two-temperature model. There the laser is modeled as a source in a continuum heat conduction equation for the electrons, whose temperature then is transferred to a molecular dynamics particle model by an electron-phonon coupling term. The melting and ablation effectivity is investigated depending on the relative intensity and the time delay between…

The Crystallography of Aluminum and its Alloys

This chapter begins with pure aluminium and a discussion of the form of the crystal structure and different unit cells that can be used to describe the crystal structure. Measurements of the face-centred cubic lattice parameter and thermal expansion coefficient in pure aluminium are reviewed and parametrisations given that allow the reader to evaluate them across the full range of temperatures where aluminium is a solid. A new concept called the vacancy triangle is introduced and demonstrated as an effective means for determining vacancy concentrations near the melting point of aluminium. The …

Enhanced strength and temperature dependence of mechanical properties of Li at small length scales and its implications for Li metal anodes

Most next-generation Li-ion battery chemistries require a functioning lithium metal (Li) anode. However, its application in secondary batteries has been inhibited because of uncontrollable dendrite growth during cycling. Mechanical suppression of dendrite growth through solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) or through robust separators has shown the most potential for alleviating this problem. Studies of the mechanical behavior of Li at any length scale and temperature are virtually non-existent because of its extreme reactivity, which renders sample preparation, transfer, microstructure characteri…

Mechanism of formation and peculiarities of structure of bulk MgB2 compound specimens

The existence of two phases within one and the same hexagonal lattice of MgB2 compound, differing in Mg and B (in the homogeneity region) and especially in impurity oxygen content, as well as in microstructure, is demonstrated by various techniques. The regions corresponding to these two phases of MgB2 have the sizes of 100-500 μm, and they fill the whole bulk of specimens, alternating with each other. It is suggested that the two-phase state of MgB2 compound is caused by specific features of its formation mechanism (as a result of synthesis at 800-1000°C), including the stages of Mg melting, …
