The mechanism of Al-Si alloy crystallization from an amorphous state is still unclear. Despite the absence of equilibrium compounds for this binary system, there are several experimental evidences confirming the formation of metastable silicide at annealing of amorphous Si mixed with Al. Classification of this metastable structure is a missing puzzle piece in the description of Al-Si alloy crystallization kinetics. Here, we considered the properties of aluminum silicide Al2Si structure, which is a probable candidate for the role of the observed metastable compound. Our investigation was based on the atomistic simulations with the interatomic potential developed recently and DFT approach. All used methods revealed that there are several crystal structures of Al2Si with close geometry and relatively low formation energies. The chemical ordering in such structures is similar to the one in Si-Al melt. We also showed that the combination of these structures allows to form a crystal with different degree of ordering.

This paper investigates the theoretical limits of object detection within isotropic scattering media using single-photon lidar. Within a simplified model, we derive the fundamental relationship between the maximum attainable detection range and the required photon count per pulse. Two distinct limiting regimes are analyzed: the ballistic photon regime, which maintains high spatial resolution but necessitates ...

Dirty superconducting films with magnetic impurities can exhibit nontrivial behavior in a magnetic field that
polarizes the impurity spins. As predicted by Kharitonov and Feigelman (KF) [JETP Lett. 82, 421 (2005)],
this polarization reduces the exchange scattering rate. Consequently, a parallel magnetic field can enhance
the critical temperature Tc when magnetic-field pair breaking is weak, as realized for ...
