High energy barriers for edge dislocation motion in body-centered cubic high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Recep Ekin Kubilay, Francesco Maresca, Alireza Ghafarollahi

Recent theory proposes that edge dislocations in random body-centered cubic (BCC) high entropy alloys have high barriers for motion, conveying high strengths up to high temperatures. Here, the energy barriers for edge motion are computed for two model allo ...

Entropy production in systems with unidirectional transitions

Daniel Maria Busiello, Amos Maritan

The entropy production is one of the most essential features for systems operating out of equilibrium. The formulation for discrete-state systems goes back to the celebrated Schnakenberg's work and hitherto can be carried out when for each transition betwe ...

Tighter thermodynamic bound on the speed limit in systems with unidirectional transitions

Daniel Maria Busiello, Deepak Gupta

We consider a general discrete state-space system with both unidirectional and bidirectional links. In contrast to bidirectional links, there is no reverse transition along the unidirectional links Herein, we first compute the statistical length and the th ...

Coarse-grained entropy production with multiple reservoirs: Unraveling the role of time scales and detailed balance in biology-inspired systems

Daniel Maria Busiello, Amos Maritan, Deepak Gupta

A general framework to describe a vast majority of biology-inspired systems is to model them as stochastic processes in which multiple couplings are in play at the same time. Molecular motors, chemical reaction networks, catalytic enzymes, and particles ex ...

First principles study of the effect of hydrogen in austenitic stainless steels and high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Xiao Zhou

Hydrogen (H) embrittlement in multicomponent austenitic alloys is a serious limitation to their application in many environments. Recent experiments show that the High-Entropy Alloy (HEA) CoCrFeMnNi absorbs more H than 304 Stainless Steel but is less prone ...

Entropy in Spin Relaxation, Spintronics, and Magnetic Resonance

Ferenc Simon

The entropy change during spin relaxation for a realistic model system is studied, whose spin dynamics can be handled with the Boltzmann equation. The time evolution of the von Neumann entropy is monitored during the process and is compared with the recent ...

High entropy alloys: A focused review of mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms

William Curtin

The high-entropy alloy (HEA) concept was based on the idea that high mixing entropy can promote formation of stable single-phase microstructures. During the past 15 years, various alloy systems have been explored to identify HEA systems with improved prope ...

Linking electronic structure calculations to generalized stacking fault energies in multicomponent alloys

Anirudh Raju Natarajan

The generalized stacking fault energy is a key ingredient to mesoscale models of dislocations. Here we develop an approach to quantify the dependence of generalized stacking fault energies on the degree of chemical disorder in multicomponent alloys. We int ...

Wide-band-gap technologies enable ultra-high efficiencies in high-frequency power conversion. However, inadequate accuracies in electrical measurements could lead to spurious efficiency measurements, even above 100%. Furthermore, bandwidth limitations, par ...
