معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني

This book provides a comprehensive overview of a computationally efficient approach for modelling the phase behaviour of multicomponent alloys from first principles, describing both short- and long-range atomic ordering tendencies. The study of multicomponent alloy systems, which combine three or more base elements in near-equal ratios, has garnered significant attention in materials science due to the potential for the creation of novel materials with superior properties for a variety of applications. High-entropy alloys, which contain four or more base elements, have emerged as a particularly fascinating subset of these systems, demonstrating extraordinary strength and fracture resistance, among other desirable properties. The book presents a novel modelling approach for studying the phase behaviour of these systems, which is based on a perturbative analysis of the internal energy of the disordered alloy as evaluated within the Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker (KKR) formulation of density functional theory (DFT), using the coherent potential approximation (CPA) to average over chemical disorder. Application of a Landau-type theory to an approximate form of the Gibbs free energy enables direct inference of chemical disorder/order transitions. In addition, the perturbative analysis facilitates extraction of atom-atom effective pair interactions for further atomistic simulations. The connection between the arrangement of atoms in a material and its magnetic properties is also studied. By outlining and applying the proposed modelling techniques to several systems of interest, this book serves as a valuable resource for materials scientists, physicists, and chemists alike, seeking to understand and develop new alloy systems with enhanced materials properties.

نبذة عن المؤلف

Christopher D. Woodgate is a theoretical physicist with a joint-honours degree in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Warwick. After completing his undergraduate studies, he pursued a PhD in theoretical physics at the same institution, under the supervision of Prof. Julie B. Staunton. His doctoral research focused on the physics of alloys and permanent magnets, and involved a blend of theory and computation, utilizing a range of techniques in computational materials modelling. He carried out his research as part of the UK EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems, which exposed him to a diverse range of computational materials modelling techniques.

Outside of his research, he enjoys pursuing two hobbies: the sport of archery and the ringing of church bells. He has been practising archery since the age of 11, has been competing in the sport for over a decade, and also holds an Archery GB Level 2 coaching qualification. He took up bell ringing while studying as an undergraduate at Warwick and is now a member of the Association of Ringing Teachers.
